The US economy grew at a $89b annualized rate in Q2. That was the first growth since Q2 2008 and came to $22b in actual growth in Q3. The bankers, after causing the greatest economic calamity since the Great Depression, are rewarded with $140b, thats x6 the growth accomplished so far in the much heralded economic recovery.
Meanwhile, 7m families face foreclosure and 25m Americans cant find full time work.
@Silberdachs . fed is private banking cartel which take usury.which is sin in islam and christianity.we hear so much value disappear from market,value never disappear but it went into feds pokets in the form of usury.
Max keiser knows what he talking about while the other two are clueless. When he spoke the truth about the drugs and bankers bonuses, the host got very uncomfortable. We should never be uncomfortable when hearing the truth.
yeah you need to have STREET SMARTS and inside, hands on knowledge of how things work. A lot of these academics are like Ned Flanders at a Biker rally, their totally out of the game.
Max Keiser is ruthlessly debunking these guilded thieves.I think they should have a good look at the 14th century and see how some of these minor characters, like 'Le Prof', end up.Disgusting prize fighters,on behalf of their masters,they end up sounding sleazy and immoral in the middle of the greatest economic catastrophe the world has ever seen,because of the scale of capitalism and the size of world debt.
I love how people are ripping this French professor, even though he condemns the Federal Reserve, counterfeiting money, government bailouts, the government meddling in banker salaries and bonuses. He also advocates the letting the capital markets rescue companies and recovering their productive assets, not the government.
"The capital markets have shown themselves to be incapable of doing the right thing."
The capital markets would've bankrupted these frauds. More importantly, the capital markets would have never cut interest rates in the first place.
People rail against the bailouts, but then rail against the free market which would've justly punished the fraudulent bond peddlers. As if gov't reaching into our pockets to reward fraud is the right thing to do or has anything to do with free markets.
yeah but capitalism innevitably leads to shit like this because of the profit motive. Corruption is litterally built into the system itself because the best way to get ahead is to be corrupt.
Nope, the French guy is absolutely right. Keiser is a demagogue. The French economist says that the government should not intervene in monetary policy, banker bonuses, or salaries. Keiser's outrage is justified, but he would give the government more power over corporations in order to make things better. They never should have given the banks money, which is the French professor's point.
The French professor makes a great point that normally, the capital markets would come to the aid of struggling companies IF they deemed they were worth saving. Orderly bankruptcy is the market's way of reallocating assets. The government has no business in giving away money or regulating salaries and stock options.
I suggest you read up on Austrian economics, especially Tom Woods. Lack of financial regulation did not cause the collapse. Regulation simply invites fraud and corruption. You'll notice that the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, World Bank, IMF, etc. are corrupt governmental regulatory agencies, NOT forces of the free market.
If you think we can somehow create benevolent Feds, IMFs, etc., this is an incredibly naive notion. The free market, on the other hand, is a stringent regulator.
It's so refreshing to have someone telling it like it is! "Decapitation" sounds about right to me but taking away all the proceeds of their crime will hurt them more, especially with whole life sentences to think about it!

A financial pentagon wargame made up by king Henry and friends, that's what it is. To create further control, to create the PRISONPLANET, Max is right and feels that an uprising can't be stopped
Exactly!..Max is so right that there should be a worldwide revolution to stop these corrupt bankers,as they pay off the governments(usa)..A call to arms is needed to save the world from total Financial,and Economic Armageddon
No seems to understand that homebuyers became huge speculators on the mega-housing bubble. Buy an oversized home with no money down. Thats like buying a stock with a zero margin requirement. Then every year a buyer refinanced their home to extract money for a high life style. Should homeowners be decapitated for depleting bank assets? For leaving banks not able to lend money? Banks assumed people would keep their commitment. Get real about life.
Yup, it's been a long time since we've had capitalism. People are too stupid to understand. They think the bankers are part of capitalism, no, just like the old robber barons they are the enemy of free markets, using the state as their tool to power.
CAPITALISTS Always blame the State and the "Government" when the system goes bad, anything to keep the spotlight off the system. Anybody remember when the "State" and the "Government" were good things because they belonged to the PEOPLE. First take the State (because we have never had it) and then over time GET RID OF IT
this is the problem that within Capitalism you CANNOT talk about bankers, greed, rules being broken, etiquette being broken (like in this video), false truths, money is a horrible fraud that causes the deaths and misery of billions of people.
Stop defending Capitalism because when you do yo will be hijacked by those "sympathetic" liberal or conservative CAPITALISTS to be brought back into your holding pen i.e. WAGE LABOR
keiser on top form - the nonplussed technocrat bore opposite just doesn't get it. We want to see straight-talking truth tellers like max and not nonplussed technocrat bores and liars....
Just like all the other wars... I believe this new War on Systemic Risk will take years, maybe decades to fight. It will cost trillions of dollars and take many lives. Systemic Risk hates Americans, and only government can save us.
At the same time bonuses are not the problem, and the government has no right to cap or tell these businesses whether or not they can give out bonuses, because of the moral precedent it sets. Similar to what both Ron Paul, Judge Napolitano and I believe Peter Schiff to be saying, in regards to bonuses.
Thusit was not necessarily the bankers who wanted this, but because of this bankers who obviously took the largest risks won, because it was set up in a way that they could not go bankrupt, therefore banks who wouldn't have done this in the first place,had to in order to stay competitive in the market - basically take advantage of what the state is offering or go bankrupt.
Also what Salin was saying in don't blame the bankers was this: the moral hazard of guilt free risk taking was built into the system, through government intervention into the economy, through fiat money, the fdic and the federal reserve.
Cool video both Max and Pascal present good ideas obviously from different perspectives. Also I disagree with the idea of banking apologists, and I doubt most people here and even Max himself even know who Pascal Salin is and what he was trying to say. Salin is an Austrian economist (same school of thought as Peter Schiff) and from the little I've read about him certainly believes in a gold standard.
I was so happy to see poor, frazzled, Pascal, finally come around to agreeing with you. It took some pulling of his golden, boyish styled hair, but you did it Max! Woot!
And especially don't reward failure with Public money (our money)!!
Its very simple...and Max knows that the Public are now seeing what how completly flawed the current financial system is and how it does not benefit the Public at all.
In fact the current financial system is now proven to be DETRIMENTAL to the financial security of the ordinary working people!
MAX is the man. It is time for revolt!!! The only truth ya hear is from Max. These other false pundits are frauds. Max locked this interview. Completely pwned this francophone idiot!!
You tell 'em Max! I'm surprised they keep inviting you onto these mainstream shows - but as long as they continue to do so lay it on them without fear or shame like you did in this.
The host was a disgusting worm. The French academic was apologist, and underinformed, but not bad.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wakeup homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs
The world's economy WILL rebound, but it WILL NOT rebound due to the nationalization of the bailout bills. The rebound will occur as soon as people regain their faith in the economy because the world's economy IS BASED ON FAITH. Of course, our politicians will claim all of the credit, but in reality they will have had nothing to do with it. The economy is fragile, and it goes up or down depending on how much faith we place in it. Nationalization only grants more power to financial institutions.
KB1869, you are coming closer to the truth of the matter with your faith based statement, haha. Really its all an illusion, what the value of anything is, whether a tangible good or intangibles used to facilitate economic exchanges. The illusions work efficiently because the majority of people are conditioned to abide by the rules of the system and never think about it in any abstract sense.
The bonuses are small potatoes compared to how much money the American government is wasting to nationalize our private sector. The bonuses are in the 100's of millions. The total bailouts are in the 100's of BILLIONS! The media should be reporting on how nationalization of the private sector is fascist, but they are, instead, distracting us from the real problem(s), as always.
I'm sick of the argument "We have to pay the criminal bankers bonuses because no one else is smart enough to run the system". This rationale says that we should admit that the private bankers, own us. Time for revolution.
Back to real money! Yes, a gold standard of some kind AND smaller, leaner government. That means no more deficits year after year, and no more government programs to take care of freeloaders.
I agree with much of what Max sez, I don't know about gold standard being a cure though for "counterfeiting" and the like, I think we just need transparency at the counting house.
Gold and silver is the only way. The politicians and bankers can not print it. Who would you trust to watch the counters in the counting house, Government? This is a sad testament on what the system has become, totally untrustworthy. I however do think that the bankers will look for ways to debase even gold and silver, Those who lack morality (sociopaths) are in the power positions, it seems to be a prerequisite to office.
Are you looking to eliminate fractional reserve banking? If so that's an entirely different conversation not well suited for youtube comments.
By transparency though, I mean things like ....bring back the M3 stat?! And the taxpaying public should be allowed to know whats happening with all the bailout funds, for which they, as taxpayers, are collateral!
I see nothing special about gold, its just shiny yellow metal, please don't give me any bull about its intrinsic value.
Gold, or any other physical asset, is not subject to manipulation like fiat currency. With fiat currency, one can simply create more out of thin air and thus make people poorer through that mechanism.
With gold, this is not possible. The only way to add more gold is to mine for it.
Thus, fiat currency, the lack of the gold-standard and fractional reserve system is the means to enslavement.
There is lots of transparrency on this subject alone, and what good has this done for you?
WHat do you mean its not subject to manipulation? Who says, you?
The value of an ounce of the shiny yellow metal can be manipulated to have varying degrees of value, purchasing power, etc, just like a piece of fucking paper! One day an ounce can buy you a porche, next year all it gets you is a used rusty bicycle! C'mon man, get real. You are living in some fantasy where the value of gold will have some magically consistent value?
Get rid of all currency than, whether its a number stamped on a piece of shiny metal or printed on a piece of paper. Go back to the barter system. People can trade whatever they want, or use whatever they want as a medium of exchange. They'll just have to bicker over whats the value of a chunk of metal after the acid test, when its on the scale. Or they can go to the Federal Gold Reservoir Dog Website to see what the currently assigned purchasing power of a gram of metal is worth
@SailorWuvsPeanut THANK you! I've been screaming for years to return to the barter system - you're exactly the FIRST individual I've seen on YouTube to propose barter. Include moral values, too - those who sacrifice more in terms of living at a lower level of consumption - e.g. vegetarians - should be rewarded more, since we leave more for everyone else.
Gold also serves as an alarm for fiat currency weakness, and if one can keep the alarm quiet through fiat currency manipulation on the futures markets, one can flood the market with fiat currency and people will still think all is in order. Unbeknownst to them, however, they are being made poorer and poorer through the indiscriminate and illegal form hidden taxation called inflation.
For your edification, please read 'Creature from Jekyll Island'.
Because you say it does? Sure, I guess in some sense, because people like to make jewelry out of it, and it has some industrial uses (electronics, chemistry, etc). But its still just yellow metal, and the purchasing power of any particular unit is subject to manipulation.
I've seen "Creature from Jekyll Island". Now go read about how regs like Glass-Steagall tamed the beast, until Ayn Rand disciple Alan Greenspan and the deregulaters came along.
Gold is only worth what you believe it's worth. Gold has no more "intrinsic value" than paper money does. Gold is only another medium for real goods (food and clothing). The only reason gold has any value is because people believe it's worth something. Europeans traded sea shells to the Africans for slaves! The Africans valued them enough to exchange a human life for them! Everything is only worth how much people value it. In that sense, there is no actual value to anything.
some things have 'intrinsic' value though, based on their 'use' in products. Gold has many uses & it doesn't corode or rust so its excellent at keeping its 'value'. Its also being kept artificially low (check out GATA) whereas paper is great for drawing on.. or printing on.. however once its been used its only good for 'recycling' or using as toilet paper. I've got a good idea what Max thinks is best to do with paper money.
it is gold's non-corrosive properties that makes it so useful as a tool for 'money'.. it doesn't rust or corrode.. so bury it, sink a ship full of it, or destroy a couple of buildings full of it.. & its still there in 1 year or 1000 years' time. This is what makes it perfect for use as 'money'.
BTW you know all that 'steel' from the twin towers that was shipped to China pronto! I'm surprised more questions weren't asked about the hundreds of billions in 'gold' that was supposedly kept there too.
haha, at about 1:06 into the video, Max says: "its a great source of poppy and heroin that fuels a lot of these banker's bonuses, let's be frank about that!"
See the vid about 'caine plane crash in my favorites list.
"NEWS...that the FBI was investigating the possibility that Antigua-based Texan billionaire Allen Stanford might have been laundering drug money for the notorious Mexican Gulf Cartel must have raised even more eyebrows locally than allegations of his fraud on a "massive" scale."
deception. the bankster control the money ponzi scheme in the world,if history repeat it self in a few year it going to be 1776 all over again. buy a gun now and stock up on ammo before obama taxs the shit out of bullet!!!!!!!
Professor is talking about fixing the system when max is talking about results of unsound policies... Both probably agree with most things... Unfortunately, the french guy is unable to speak understandable english
" yeah no yeeah yeay nnooo bankers are good but they shud not be blamed ,it is someone else's fault ..now let the state take all debt
poot a gold system and welcome the same bankers again"- mOron !
My My how can this guy be a professor of anything !so out of touch! I bet he has never seen the floor of a stock exchange in his life! like a prof of agriculture who has never seen farmland and advises people how to till
Amazing!Mind blowing!
max in full flow,really looks like Maximus,the gladiator!
The professor looks so pale and weak comparing to Mr. Keiser who overshadowed him. While the world is just witnessing the grand robbery of the biblical proportions the professor speaks about the need for the "proofs" for connections between the largest international bankers, FED and US federal government!?! And all that after many patriotic people, like M. Keiser, were warning about the catastrophic coordinated policies of the FED, the US government and the criminal banksters many years ago!
If the French people had been like the professor there wouldn't have been French revolution in 1789. The people would have been busy looking for the "proofs". The so called "democracy" does not work since most of the political parties in most countries around the world are corrupt and on the payroll of the same international banking mafia who got us into this trouble. Only bloody revolution can free us!
yeah ! bankers are the new gods now!" they are always right and we shud not let them fail or they will bring hell on earth! so all you mortals shud bow to the bankers and be happy to serve them with your children and grandchildren for all eternity "
Naah! i don't think this generation has any guts /morals to start a revolution
This debate is symptomatic of the problems the general public is now facing. You have a fat overpaid, over-coiffed banking good-for-nothing greed fest charlatan in the form of Pascal Millionaire, hosted by a overpaid do-nothing never-done-a-hard-day's-graft in their life TV presenter, and a guy here, who is stating the bleeding obvious, telling it like it is - in evryday language - ROBBERY, PRE-MEDITATED, ECONOMIC TERRORISTS, DOUBLETALK and BUREAUCRACY - but being blanked by the pair of them.
I agree with french guy, we don't know who the bonuses go to. Did it go to some guy who worked 12+ hour days doing a job he had no clue that would bring down the economy or a person who knew what time it is.
The problem is not the bonuses the problem is the government giving the money in the first place.
On a gold and silver standard governments can't do it with out a direct tax on you. With a printing press they can do it without you noticing the tax via inflation.
it doesn't matter whether they worked hard or were ignorant as to what the intentions of the company they worked for were. Either way, they worked on behalf of a criminal syndicate and I agree with Max. According to your theory, it would be ok to work for the Mob or a cartel that bought and sold conflict diamonds or something, as long as you worked hard and were somewhat ignorant as to what your company did.
These criminal bankers must be stopped now. We MUST take back our system.
You do have a point, however we are both in agreement that the government should not have bailed out criminals in the first place. The point is we should not bitch about pennies of employees when the boss man gets away with billions for lying cheating and steeling.
Paper money makes it all possible and we as people will always be tempted by the short term profits of paper money at the expense of society.
Max, this much I promise you, your time will come...There is no way that we americans take that crap much longer....why even talk too those shithead's !!! they talk and talk and analyze and meanwhile we are being robbed even more by the same people....fuck'em...time's up....
France24 is mainstream media, in Europe anyway. I wonder if the far right American News corporations will stand for Keiser's views on financial terrorists since they cannot bear the truth.
Well hes pretty hard to understand, i had to watch this like 5 times before i got the just of what he was saying. also max was clearly using this as a platform to discuss the larger issues at hand.
This frog keeps harping on about how its monetary authority and govt that's the issue. Yet the fed is a private institution and the govt is held to ransom every time there's a recession anyway.
Max is a beacon of truth that burns through the Banksters lies and illusion. Soon We the People will rise up against the corporate and banker occupation! Bravo Max we are with you!!
Please don't say that... I fear for Max and Men/Women like him to... we need to get the underground going... Max I will hide you and your chica out from the Man... peace
God please send your Angels to protect Max Keiser.
Keep Max in your prayers folks.

At the same time bonuses are not the problem, and the government has no right to cap or tell these businesses whether or not they can give out bonuses, because of the moral precedent it sets. Similar to what both Ron Paul, Judge Napolitano and I believe Peter Schiff to be saying, in regards to bonuses.

Thusit was not necessarily the bankers who wanted this, but because of this bankers who obviously took the largest risks won, because it was set up in a way that they could not go bankrupt, therefore banks who wouldn't have done this in the first place,had to in order to stay competitive in the market - basically take advantage of what the state is offering or go bankrupt.
GreekGoodfella 2 years ago
Also what Salin was saying in don't blame the bankers was this: the moral hazard of guilt free risk taking was built into the system, through government intervention into the economy, through fiat money, the fdic and the federal reserve.

Cool video both Max and Pascal present good ideas obviously from different perspectives. Also I disagree with the idea of banking apologists, and I doubt most people here and even Max himself even know who Pascal Salin is and what he was trying to say. Salin is an Austrian economist (same school of thought as Peter Schiff) and from the little I've read about him certainly believes in a gold standard.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wakeup homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs

The world's economy WILL rebound, but it WILL NOT rebound due to the nationalization of the bailout bills. The rebound will occur as soon as people regain their faith in the economy because the world's economy IS BASED ON FAITH. Of course, our politicians will claim all of the credit, but in reality they will have had nothing to do with it. The economy is fragile, and it goes up or down depending on how much faith we place in it. Nationalization only grants more power to financial institutions.
KB1869 2 years ago
KB1869, you are coming closer to the truth of the matter with your faith based statement, haha. Really its all an illusion, what the value of anything is, whether a tangible good or intangibles used to facilitate economic exchanges. The illusions work efficiently because the majority of people are conditioned to abide by the rules of the system and never think about it in any abstract sense.
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago
The bonuses are small potatoes compared to how much money the American government is wasting to nationalize our private sector. The bonuses are in the 100's of millions. The total bailouts are in the 100's of BILLIONS! The media should be reporting on how nationalization of the private sector is fascist, but they are, instead, distracting us from the real problem(s), as always.

I agree with much of what Max sez, I don't know about gold standard being a cure though for "counterfeiting" and the like, I think we just need transparency at the counting house.
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago
Gold and silver is the only way. The politicians and bankers can not print it. Who would you trust to watch the counters in the counting house, Government? This is a sad testament on what the system has become, totally untrustworthy. I however do think that the bankers will look for ways to debase even gold and silver, Those who lack morality (sociopaths) are in the power positions, it seems to be a prerequisite to office.

How will transparrency help when it comes to fractional reserve banking?
elboertjie 2 years ago
Are you looking to eliminate fractional reserve banking? If so that's an entirely different conversation not well suited for youtube comments.
By transparency though, I mean things like ....bring back the M3 stat?! And the taxpaying public should be allowed to know whats happening with all the bailout funds, for which they, as taxpayers, are collateral!
I see nothing special about gold, its just shiny yellow metal, please don't give me any bull about its intrinsic value.
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago
Gold, or any other physical asset, is not subject to manipulation like fiat currency. With fiat currency, one can simply create more out of thin air and thus make people poorer through that mechanism.
With gold, this is not possible. The only way to add more gold is to mine for it.
Thus, fiat currency, the lack of the gold-standard and fractional reserve system is the means to enslavement.
There is lots of transparrency on this subject alone, and what good has this done for you?
elboertjie 2 years ago
WHat do you mean its not subject to manipulation? Who says, you?
The value of an ounce of the shiny yellow metal can be manipulated to have varying degrees of value, purchasing power, etc, just like a piece of fucking paper! One day an ounce can buy you a porche, next year all it gets you is a used rusty bicycle! C'mon man, get real. You are living in some fantasy where the value of gold will have some magically consistent value?
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago 2
Get rid of all currency than, whether its a number stamped on a piece of shiny metal or printed on a piece of paper. Go back to the barter system. People can trade whatever they want, or use whatever they want as a medium of exchange. They'll just have to bicker over whats the value of a chunk of metal after the acid test, when its on the scale. Or they can go to the Federal Gold Reservoir Dog Website to see what the currently assigned purchasing power of a gram of metal is worth
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago
@SailorWuvsPeanut THANK you! I've been screaming for years to return to the barter system - you're exactly the FIRST individual I've seen on YouTube to propose barter. Include moral values, too - those who sacrifice more in terms of living at a lower level of consumption - e.g. vegetarians - should be rewarded more, since we leave more for everyone else.
deskset24 1 year ago 2
Gold does have a consistent intrinsic value.
Gold also serves as an alarm for fiat currency weakness, and if one can keep the alarm quiet through fiat currency manipulation on the futures markets, one can flood the market with fiat currency and people will still think all is in order. Unbeknownst to them, however, they are being made poorer and poorer through the indiscriminate and illegal form hidden taxation called inflation.
For your edification, please read 'Creature from Jekyll Island'.
elboertjie 2 years ago
"Gold does have a consistent intrinsic value."
Because you say it does? Sure, I guess in some sense, because people like to make jewelry out of it, and it has some industrial uses (electronics, chemistry, etc). But its still just yellow metal, and the purchasing power of any particular unit is subject to manipulation.
I've seen "Creature from Jekyll Island". Now go read about how regs like Glass-Steagall tamed the beast, until Ayn Rand disciple Alan Greenspan and the deregulaters came along.
SailorWuvsPeanut 2 years ago 2
Gold is only worth what you believe it's worth. Gold has no more "intrinsic value" than paper money does. Gold is only another medium for real goods (food and clothing). The only reason gold has any value is because people believe it's worth something. Europeans traded sea shells to the Africans for slaves! The Africans valued them enough to exchange a human life for them! Everything is only worth how much people value it. In that sense, there is no actual value to anything.
KB1869 2 years ago
some things have 'intrinsic' value though, based on their 'use' in products. Gold has many uses & it doesn't corode or rust so its excellent at keeping its 'value'. Its also being kept artificially low (check out GATA) whereas paper is great for drawing on.. or printing on.. however once its been used its only good for 'recycling' or using as toilet paper. I've got a good idea what Max thinks is best to do with paper money.
;-)
LOL
ejbh3160 2 years ago
it is gold's non-corrosive properties that makes it so useful as a tool for 'money'.. it doesn't rust or corrode.. so bury it, sink a ship full of it, or destroy a couple of buildings full of it.. & its still there in 1 year or 1000 years' time. This is what makes it perfect for use as 'money'.
BTW you know all that 'steel' from the twin towers that was shipped to China pronto! I'm surprised more questions weren't asked about the hundreds of billions in 'gold' that was supposedly kept there too.

The professor looks so pale and weak comparing to Mr. Keiser who overshadowed him. While the world is just witnessing the grand robbery of the biblical proportions the professor speaks about the need for the "proofs" for connections between the largest international bankers, FED and US federal government!?! And all that after many patriotic people, like M. Keiser, were warning about the catastrophic coordinated policies of the FED, the US government and the criminal banksters many years ago!

If the French people had been like the professor there wouldn't have been French revolution in 1789. The people would have been busy looking for the "proofs".

I agree with french guy, we don't know who the bonuses go to. Did it go to some guy who worked 12+ hour days doing a job he had no clue that would bring down the economy or a person who knew what time it is.
The problem is not the bonuses the problem is the government giving the money in the first place.
On a gold and silver standard governments can't do it with out a direct tax on you. With a printing press they can do it without you noticing the tax via inflation.
davincij15 2 years ago
it doesn't matter whether they worked hard or were ignorant as to what the intentions of the company they worked for were. Either way, they worked on behalf of a criminal syndicate and I agree with Max. According to your theory, it would be ok to work for the Mob or a cartel that bought and sold conflict diamonds or something, as long as you worked hard and were somewhat ignorant as to what your company did.
These criminal bankers must be stopped now. We MUST take back our system.

You do have a point, however we are both in agreement that the government should not have bailed out criminals in the first place. The point is we should not bitch about pennies of employees when the boss man gets away with billions for lying cheating and steeling.

true, the fed is private, or quasi-private. and max did seem to be speaking to larger issues at hand.
the confusion between them is symptomatic of the problem. the banks and the government exploit the lack of clear boundaries, definitions, and law.
the government (in theory) can change its ways and/or use discretion. the fed by its very existence is wrong.
