  • Like how he says if we didn;t bail them out .. the system would have collapsed...I thought about this.. and my questions is ... why not let it fall apart....some nasty pain... but for everyone .. and the ones that caused it .. don't get bailed out ..they get hurt too......We build something new... hopefully something that is sutainable.... something not built on greed

  • THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT IS OVER.

  • WHAT A FUCKING LIAR. 700 BILLIONS WAS A PURE GIFT. BASICALLY OBAMA'S PAYOFF TO THE ZIONIST BANKERS FOR LETTING HIM GETTING ELECTED.

    PEOPLE, YOUR GOVERNMENT IS NOTHING BUT A MAFIA, THEY CARELESS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, THEY WANT YOU OBEDIENT, TAX PAYING AND DRUNK FAT DUMMIES.

  • Yes Financial collapse is part of their plan. Get every normal person starving/struggling and then while they aren't paying attention finish with the final solution. FASCISM and disease

  • @smbcomcast..your comment is wrong on every level. It is exactly people like trump who create the problems. Him and so many others who influence market economies etc. If a bank can create quantative easing in the tune of 70 billion and give it to the banks...why cant it create billions for the people to release debt. The current system requires everyone to be in debt...or else there would be no money. Money is simply DEBT....with no intrinsic value.

  • a second treasury? a second society? FUCK YOU ASSHOLE, exterminating the 99% when you are 1% won`t get you anywhere, its 99 vs 1, you`re fucked.

  • The Eternal Prison is expanding it's walls......

  • Maybe she has a better idea."We are not any Genusis" Thank you thats all we needed to hear

  • I keep hearing him say "buying bad asses".

  • if there wasnt so many fucking greedy bastard people out there we would have money...i mean there are millionaires billionaires who needs that sort of money i say god or aliens need to come and invade in 2012 and send therm all to fucking hell and let normal people feed their fucking kids and live a normal life

  • @jerrijayne That's absurd. The fact that Trump has millions does not affect your salary at all. Likewise, taking money from rich folks (a one-time fix) will not solve a thing since it doesn't answer the question, "OK, what do we do next?" A market economy does not work that way. People are not poor because others are rich. It sounds nice but it's just not accurate.

  • you know what i say, fuck it, let the piece of shit collapse. get guns ammo and food. u think the bullshit they put in hollywood was for special effect?

  • It has been "24 Hours" for a little while now. Think maybe you should change the title? The content has little to do with anything, at this point.

  • Many people in America are too selfish.In America a person may get a loan for 5-7% interest rate for 20-30 years and it doesn't matter your age,I know cases when a loan for 30 years was given to a 45 year old man.And you, people, are complaining at banks?Imagine this: tomorrow there will be no banks, no more accounts, no loans, no credit/debit cards.What would be your life?You wouldn't have the oppotunity to buy a house, a car.The american dream would be thrown in the bin. Think about it.

  • @semilio1 There is a need for banking, but I think the power to create money should be taken away from central banks and commercial banks and returned to the government via "we the people." This current debt based monetary system is a house of cards, and we are beginning to see things unraveling as there are debt crises in Europe, America, and all over the third world.

  • @semilio1 I agree, for the most part.

  • this guy shoould be shot on sight

  • LIAR! Gary D. Cohn, from Goldman Sachs received $70.3 million from the first batch from the TARP. There were 10 other banks and about 80 cifferent executives that got compensated with OUR money! The FACTS are you guys are raping us! No one threw you out into the ocean! YOU paddled out there yourself, then you jumped off of the boat...asshole, well guess what...now you are in shark infested waters! You are going to get eaten alive...asswipe!

  • If we could tear down all banks, plow the soil and sow wheat would that sound attractive?

  • are you idiots waking up yet to your bought off globalist federal govt..huh???

  • @phliperphil Globalism is inevitable. The question is, who will rule it? Let's see, here, we have about half a billion sovereign thinking people (with a sizeable percentage well armed) and we have a handful of intelligencia with billions of loyal slaves (also well armed)..

  • In pointing this out, I realize that the FDIC guaranteeing your money if the bank fails creates little incentive for "investors" to make sure the bank isn't making stupid investments, overextending itself, etc.

    Just like FEMA guaranteeing reimbursement against damage caused by natural disasters means that people will indiscriminately build in flood plains and hurricane weary coastlines.

    Before people had more concern of their banks activities and where they built their houses.

  • We always have a banking system. Just smaller, community banks. Large banks overextend themselves because they expect bailouts, or don't see the option of going "bust".

    Banks used to fail in the past. That was why the FDIC was created. Insurance to the investors that if the bank failed, your money was safe (up to a certain amount).

  • hmmm, is that Joe Peschi on the phone?

  • well maybe that's what we need: "the end of our economic system as we know it" and start over. If you have a job I;m sure you will be paid somehow, and so you can continue, if you have real estate, you can charge your renters to live in their apartments, and you will be paid with something, etc, so we can start over, with a new reformed dollar value. Yes maybe 100 old dollars will equal one new dollar, but so what?

  • USA stands for greed, lies, hate, terror, war and death of millions of innocent.

  • If these people don't know the answers then what are their high salarys for? i'd be happy to take their wage to tell the people i don't have an answer anymore than they do

  • ...so are you(the government) are going to continue to print more monopoly money causing civil unrest all the way to FED...Congress building and the White House?

  • what do you have to sell, america?

  • Wow, this frames the 3 year long recession debate perfectly in 6 minutes. Nobody knows what's best, our elected officials are indebted to commerce lobbyists and everyone wants the status quo.

  • I'm a bit surprised people don't appreciate the gravity of the situation. Either we shouldn't let banks get this big, or we shouldn't allow them to take risks large enough to put them under, either way we shouldn't have to bail out banks, but we DID have to. They don't add nearly as much value as they've been taking, but they do add some value, and had they failed, it would have been tremendously painful. Likely most business would grind to a halt, including air travel and food services.

  • Just talking heads. Just like actors on a stage.

  • Comment removed

  • The end of the system as we know it. Yeah...they don't want that to happen do they!!!!

  • Kanjorski is a joke. Watch Ron Paul destroy him on CNBC

  • The banks produce no value, but siphon wealth from the real economy. If the Wall St. banks collapsed, $1 trillion annually taken by bankers would instead remain in the primary production and manufacturing sectors that actually create wealth. How much more competitive would we be with $1 trillion more investment annually in plant and equipment?

  • @pikesplitman The banks produce opportunity for entrepreneurs who otherwise would have no way to fund their endeavor. That's why investment exists in this form. In other words, if I want to start a restaurant, but have only 100k to put in myself, but I need 300k, I can borrow that from the bank. Without that loan I could appeal to actual humans to loan me the money, but the process is the same. I prefer, and believe in the latter, but the former takes less time. Borrowing still exists either way

  • Yes the lady on the phone has a better idea, give the money to us. The tax payers will stimulate the economy. I love how he says he uderstands her frustrations, while he rakes in over 500k a year for doing jack shit.

  • haha Kanjorski...Watch the video Ron Paul Kanjorski. It is a smackdown!!

  • What a liar and crook.

  • If we had common sense people like that caller running this country,we would be a stronger nation for sure.

  • In 24 hours? Well Dr. Doom it's November 2011 now and we're like still waitin.

  • @silencerainbows Quick! run out and buy a TV with money you dont have and pay interest it... just keep waiting, this system makes no sense. were all fukked :(

  • @LimeyCanuck83 ya right, I hope this system goes belly up soon and I can watch it on a big TV screen with some beer and a bag of chips! ;=D

  • @silencerainbows Yes waiting it's called patience & this is how hyperinflation starts. It won't be like as quick as 3rd world countries. Remember America has been one of the richest countries in the world. So it's gonna be the worst kind of drawn out death you can imagine. But when it's over in America & things start to change there's other places in the world that are going to be experiencing it same except America will be watching other countries in trouble & worse than America too.

  • The real reason the US and global economy is doing so bad is because most western economies are based on a central banking concept where you print money which has no real value. You also owe the central bank that prints the money interest on every dollar, therefore the debt is perpetual and insolvent. I honestly don't know how people support this kind of shit.

  • only Rome can wipe out your tribute money. In recent years british queen ? had to pay tax - who to - think about it

  • @Korlad1

    Why can't we just wipe out debt? Nobody owes anything. Why wouldn't that be great?

  • Yeah, "it would have been the end of the economic and political system as we know it" which would have meant that the wealthy would have had a massive kick in the balls and there was no way they were going to let that happen. So we have baled out the banks to give the super wealthy time to re-arrange their finances and stiff everyone else with the bill. And if this bloke does not know what to do why has he still got a job?

  • What an absolute fucking joke that cunt is! You give money to the people, the people stimulate the economy. But you didn't, you stole it and gave it to all your criminal friends on wall street. What, you think we can't work out that all that money has disappeared into thin fucking air?! It's not rocket science, it's basic economics. You fucking banking wankers fucked it and now you think you can chat your way out of it? You're frustrated?! YOU FASCIST FUCK!

  • @iRob420 Normally I'm a peaceful man, but if I ever see him I will personally rip out his anal sphincter and feed it to him.

  • Yeah, "it would have been the end of the economic and political system as we know it"... and the downside is...???

  • are you kidding me? Is this guy telling the U.S. people that they were ignorant about how this unfolded? Come on man, Greenspan knew that lowering interest rates would create a glut of cheap credit that would undermine sound lending practices. This was a set-up job

  • @kcharles66 Right on the money! It's a con job - why don"t more people get it?

  • @Korlad1 America can't be bankrupt? Well, but it can be bombed! Expect it to happen soon. Oh, and yes - how does it feel paying 100s of thousands of borrowed dollars for having own mind shitted in?

  • @Korlad1 Correct, but it depends on what kind of debt it is and who it is allegedly owed to. The national debt is based on loans made from thin air, ie. FIAT currency, so yes, you can write that off just as easy as you can write off credit cards. The debt is FAKE! Now, if YOU and ME sign a VALID contract, the debt is valid. Instead of taking an economics class and having someone else GIVE you your point of view, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

  • USA Should just declare bankruptsy they're so fucked and that would hit the right people

  • marxist retard

  • "We're not the experts" there has never been a more true statement about politicians!!

  • ...and that's the point MR KANJORSKI.. you are Polish by ancestry but as STUPID as and average AMERICAN. SHAME on YOU!! ..and so, GO DOWN with the JEW!!!

  • So long as Jews are living in America there is no chance of an economic crash its all just smoke and mirrors to get the world off their fat asses and do some work. You Know time to give the Chinese a break

  • Yes the end of the political and economy as we know it. But that's what it's being engineered to do, it has to fail so your government can put in it's new socialism and control, think agenda 21

  • @charlespontoon yup.. i totally agree with you 100%... i mean.. the government knows how to fix the economy overnight... yet they keep doing the same dumb things over and over and over. They must be trying to set up some sort of agenda.. or at the very least, lobbyists pay off the government so they can use the bubbles to make money while the little people suffer.

  • @gininginin

    What you say is to eliminate the FED.

    This is correct but the problem is that the bankers and elite groups are stronger than the politicians.

    Every president who recognized the root cause of the problem and tried to eliminate the problem by shutting down the FED was assasinated (Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, etc.)

  • @nokia3210fuck

    Federal Reserve was constructed a good century after Lincoln was assassinated but I know what u are talking about. he tried to do something about the economy in his day. smh

  • @DivinelyMochaDipped

    Back in the day it was the Bank of America who had the function that the FED has today.

    If you are interested in what it's all about with the FED and the criminal bankers, watch this:

  • @Korlad1 Hi

    Economy managed by Finance is a scam. You need to eliminate national debt created by money interest due by government on national public debt, but more important we need to get rid of paper money as paper money is a scam and is just a form of slavery, a bigger one than the Roman one: now you've got to manage your life, the master don't have to do it anymore!

  • Two years later; now its seventeen TRILLION ! Gave em an inch, they raped us!

  • This is a set-up call. It is a complete phoney. Good grief what contempt they have for all of us.

  • this guy is not saying why not let the banks crash and arrest the banksters he is a scam artist or he does not understand what happened ,THE FUCKER PAULSON SPENT MOST OF THE MONEY BAILING OUT GOLDMAN SACH THROUGH AIG

    THIS GUY IS A MORON AND A TRAITOR. HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED WITH THE BANKSTERS

  • there is a great deal of frustration, Ive been thinking lately to put some of my assets into buying gold and silver coins.

  • Comment removed

  • @sundancekid122 Y I say this cautiously, antiques, even some vinyl records and art can actually also bring about a good return, you just have to be careful what you buy. But buy well and in 20 years there will be a good return on your investment. I know someone who has done this and even now there is a good return after only three months.

    As for stock ho hum, well, there is either going to be a huge collapse or a huge loan which will displace that crash, which is the worse I don't quite know!

  • @gininginin Well said.DEMAND Govt create interest free money to lend to people+small business.Repayments(small+spre­ad over MANY years)are added to taxation to fund it all AND health, education etc(a CIVILISED 21st century society)NOT syphoned off into the pocket of the 1% who DIGITALLY transfer it abroad,bleed dry THEIR 99% and MOVE ON. (Banner? Interest Free Money! Interested? WHO Wouldn't Be?) Spread the word-Interest causes inflation-Money is an invention of man-So lets RE-invent it!

  • resource based ecnomy

  • The ROOT CAUSE of the crash was LAND. Debt after debt was poured into land because it was not taxed. Gains in LAND are tax free. Loans can be secured against LAND as if repossessed the lender pays no tax on the LAND. So much money was poured into land rather than enterprise that it fell over and took all with it.

    SOLUTION: Tax the VALUES of all land and its RESOURCES. Not the house (the CAPITAL), the LAND, ALL LAND, even fields. This means no Income Tax. Look up Geoism.

  • @mphello so, so agree. Almost 90% of Americans oppose the bank bailouts. Get these elitist politician douchebags the hell out of washington!!!!!!!!

  • Americans and Europeans are so used to living such a mid-high life style that when there is a recession they don't want to cut back on benefits. Here in South America same shit happened in the 90's and 80's. Peru went through a massive crisis until the president had to SHUT DOWN the economy in 1992. Nowadays, Peru is growing at a stable 8-9% per year. In the 2008 crisis while every single country was losing money, Peru grew 2%. Look it up.

  • @gininginin Well said, the truth, All the best Roger Lowrey

  • This is why we occupy!

  • @gininginin I agree with what you say about this being the worst banking scam in history and that we need to create renewable resources. But you can not just get rid of national debt. Getting rid of debt means that there would not be a single penny in circulation for the people to use. Debt = Money. What we need to do is go back to gold standard and scrap the fractional reserve banking system or at the least let government issue intrest free money. But the elite are wont allow this.Good luck all

  • @chesh1710

    >>Getting rid of debt means that there would not be a single penny in circulation

    I agree with you partially. Most of the national debts are fantasy money owed to banks, and eliminating them would not affect average Joe directly. Greece just got half of its debt condoned (sadly not enough).

    >>What we need to do is go back to gold standard

    The problem is that the richest already have monopoly on gold.

    >> let government issue intrest free money.

    That's what I would go for. Cheers

  • i don't think he was re-elected in his district.

  • Most South Africans don't even make R10 an hour ( that's about $1.4). Maybe you American idiots should stop taking loans you can't repay and less of my countrymen would die of hunger

  • @gininginin well said sir

  • I listened right up until the point where this bald guy admits he supported the bank bailouts. Kill that guy. Nothing else he says after that matters.

  • who was causing this run on the banks . I don;t remember the american public panicking and withdrawing their money. I think this guy is full of shit . but I can say that about anyone in congress and most likely be right.

  • 600 a week? haha insane.

  • HE said they not genuises to help out to a person thats in economic destress; however they tend to be geniuses when it comes to putting money in their pockets....LOL AMERICA PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • They just need to get rid of capitalism and money. Create a new system because the people in charge obviously don't know how to manage it properly.

  • Global economic collapse will be deliberate and the result will be one world totalitarian government. That is the actual reason for the takeovers of Iraq and Libya, and that is the reason for the looting of America by its corporations. End Game

  • ive been watching the market for over 10 yrs, i predicted collapse, but there is 1 variable that i struggle with in my analysis.... white old witty rich men...., somehow its staying together,, i have to give a little credit to whoever is keeping it together. IT will all fall apart someday, but predicting it has been very difficult.... if you follow trends... the trends are keeping it going... idk..... when people speak.. the markets change.... wow

  • @gininginin THE POWERS AT BE WON'T ALLOW IT.

  • What a load of boring shite

  • @andreasswarfeld 2:22 , if thats boring to you, i would be interested as to what you find entertaining.

    Ponderous.

  • @ToxicHospitality if you find this exiting, i am not remotely interested in what you find entertaining . Verbose

  • @andreasswarfeld Exiting? Alright champ.

  • @ToxicHospitality No .. boring , I already said , Alright . cunt

  • Did he just admit that he doesn't know what he is doing?

  • "Electronic run on the banks" - exactly. Some people have the benefit of automatic stop-loss system that most investors don't; at least the computers know what's up. The computers are programmed to automatically sell below a certain price point, no matter what is going on in the world, and they act immediately and without judgment or questioning, just a simple criterion of the minimum allowable value of an asset to continue holding it.

  • What money?!?!? SHow it to me. What money are "we going to poor" into anything!?!?!?!

  • the economy is not meant to be revived. the us gov. is doing everything in its power to destroy the usd., and usher in a new 1 world currency.they the gov. are only puppets selling out their brothers and sisters for the enlightened ones,who are filled with satan.

  • @silvertogoldman Agreed~ Only--they Aren't "enlightened"...they are Just WANNABES!.....(filled with satan).

  • God is about to pull down the walls of Jericho ( symbolic of the world monetary system). The church of Jesus Christ will then advance into the promised land (ie the world) and we will see the greatest christian revival the world has ever seen. When jericho was over thrown , the Lord gave the command that everything should be destroyed but the silver and gold. Figure it out for yourself.

  • The economy will fail in 2012. An angel

  • he says that huge sums were pulled out of US, he does not say, where it was going to? WHERE? & WHO WAS DOING IT? perhaps he would find out that it was afew banks, doing it.

  • its even simpler all americans should just strat using gold and silver coin, boycott merchants and stores who are not american enough to take the silver and gold coin

  • If is true that those people rules the world i m guessing why we are living in a such terrible situation ! A Bad economy , no jobs , low feritly rate ,rising of the islamic foundamentalism in Europe ecc.... WE ARE DYING THE WEST THAT THEY THEORICALLY RULES IS DYING !

    Guys i think that the real conspirancy is the scariest thing you ever heard : The real conspracy is that there is no conspiracny , no one cares of what will be of our people . WE ARE ALONE

  • So, where did all the money go from the big 'draw-down' ?

  • God-damned greedy pricks! Their time is coming to an end. End the federal reserve!!

  • Man why didn't it happen!! Let it fall and start again.

  • fiat currency = fake and gay

  • Keep your powder dry. And grow a garden, a big garden! Ron Paul 2012

  • okey, the economy is pretty bad, can a country suddenly collapse, simple answer NO! Just look how poor other countries are, they are still thriving and strong even w/ a bad economy. Fucking honey lips politicians.

  • The monetary system is flawed at the root. Planned obsolescence (which is far lower quality stuff than possible) and large amounts of waste are the natural outcomes of the system. As automation displaces jobs, the natural rise in unemployment is framed as individual laziness. Capitalism thrives on scarcity, now artificial. We MUST re-evaluate global currencies as our organizing principal. This is the death knell of all things financial. Adapt and evolve or we'll fall into money hell.

  • That woman sounds like she knows more about economics than any politician ive seen lying to the public in the last 3 years.

  • So the tax payers paid for all the bad mortgages these banksters loaned these unsuspecting people whom trusted the banks, and the banksters whom had no intention of honoring these bad mortgage loans ended up throwing everyone out onto the streets!!! Then where bailed out! I do not blame the american people whom lost there homes. I blame the banksters. The banksters should have gone Bankrupt for making bad loans knowing what they were doing!

  • @53muse Not defending the bank but the government forced them to make the bad loans.

  • @bkl139 Nah, Goldman Sachs fills the Treasury department. The "Federal" Reserve claims any space that's left in it. They overturned Glass-Steagal so they could make these bad mortgage deals, and organized to steal three million Americans' property. When the balloon interest came, mass defaults hit, just as they'd planned to see. The panic over that unpayable debt was the excuse to bail them out for the fraud they lent.

  • @bkl139 The banks and the government are intertwined believe me no one forced the banks, and alot of that money went over seas to foreign banks!

  • Listen carefully to the lying scumbag, he lays out the greatest fleecing of Americas wealth in history only he leaves out the actions taken by the criminals once the monies were approved..Paulson, you have o love that SOB robbs Americans of 200 million dollars and authorizes the release with the swipe of his own pen, sneering in the face of congress that criminal and his croanies continued to fleece this country..But whos fault is that?? IT'S YOUR FAULT, ALL AMERICANS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING N

  • as long as the jews are controling your finances, you will have trouble.

    read the book "The House of Rothschild: Volume 2: The World’s Banker: 1849-1999", by Niall Ferguson and see how they took over the world's financial system

    read how they make money out of financial crisis....and read how they work so hard to kep non-jews well away from the top of the system, or under strict control.

    when your economy falls, and you end up working for them, you'll know who to blame at least.

  • To most people, this is not a game. It's food on the table, it's shelter, it's security for the future that the economy is fixed. To the privileged few and lucky ones, this is merely a game that's lost that they can easily recover from.

  • I've heard it said that the end of Glass-Steigal in the 90s deregulated the banking system to allow mortgage banks to become investment banks, that is, to make speculative bets with their holdings. Under high leverage, these banks were caught holding a hot potato of bad assets that they tossed to the taxpayer through the bailouts. Ouch.

  • @radicalsquare Well stated, it's exactly how I would have commented...

    

  • @radicalsquare The Clinton administration forced, Under threat from attorney general Janet Reno and the "Fair Housing Act" to make loans to people for homes that could not afford them. As a result the banks ended up bundling these "bad" loans. All these were dumped on and the losses were covered up through the federalization of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. Then the bailout was to farther cover the losses. These investments were ran through hedge funds and speculated on and inflated artificially

  • The American government should have let the banking sytem collapse, true the political system would have changed as far as the politicians would be out of the pockets bankers since they would have all collapsed. One good thing plus one good thing equals one big great thing.

  • there is no incentive to work since people can get more living off the gvnmt than working.

  • all BANKERS are EVIL, they only know GREED, nothing about HUMANITY!!!

  • Look at this weasel try to put a uniform on this BAILOUT. It was a god damn bailout and you KNOW IT.

    They get a bailout and nobody else does, and us, the American people, are nonchalant about it. No anger, no protests, no nothing.

    I don't know why the American people are so passive.

  • @Seedofwinter ummm... maybe fluoride? prozac? other drugs? television? lack of education? 75% in poverty? maybe a combination of these things....why did poor whites in the colonies fight the revolutionary war against england for the aristocrats when many of them knew nothing would change for them..? desperation? maybe people are trying to hold on to the couple freedoms they have left. human beings are pretty primative, on some level they enjoy being controlled...

  • @txl301md LOL Not this human being. I can't stand when the government --or media--tries to manipulate me.

    It's unsustainable though. The American people CAN'T STAND our Congress, they have a 11% approval rating, with 80% saying they would change their Congressman or woman. Let these politicians continue to play ball for the special interests, and America is going to face massive destabilization. People can only take but so much. It's only a matter of time, at this rate, until America sees red

  • @Seedofwinter let us hope so my friend. fear is a powerful tool and will continue to be so for the world elite. The only reason why other countries are currently "revolting" is because we are inciting the revolts..ex.i used to think Lybians were poor until i did the research. They actually had no debt and plenty of gold reserves(were preparing other african/arab nations to stop using paper money...that is why Gaddafi was targeted...that is why the "rebels" have links with al-queda...chessgame

  • @txl301md `You sound like you've done your research. I'm going to look into what you have just said about gold. I know better than to think that the UK and France are humanitarians.

  • @Seedofwinter I have done a fair amount. At the end of the day it is just a theory as we can never know the degree to which each of these factors influence final decisions. However, considering Brzezinski appears to play a prominent role in Obama's foreign policy, this all fits his "Grand Chessboard" world view. The goal is to prevent short term collapse. I would look at Lybia's official records for stats..here is a good summary of the theory in the meantime: watch?v=rgdn0bNsMkQ&feature=fe­edlik

  • @Seedofwinter Check out OCCUPYWALLSTREET its live!

  • instead of bailing-out the phoney investmank-banks, the U.S. government could have done one thing, which even costed anything:

    to guarantee the selling-price of all houses at a certain date, let's say August, 1st 2008. no-one would then be homeless, all the investors would strive to buy because of the stop-loss of American mortgages, and only the casino-banks would have gone bankrupt. but now the banksters got what the liked: a deprived middle-class

  • All Thats Happening Is Our DEMISE By Their DESIGN.

    Nothing That Is Destroying Nations Is By CHANCE ACCIDENT.

    ...so....Beware of GOLD....At These Prices it is the "Housing Bubble" Part 2.....a severe food crisis will Crash Gold Value....ever try to eat Gold coins?....After a few days and food is gone...the "money changers" know you will give up All Gold to feed your Starving Family...for a month, a week,...a day?....then they will have your home...car...savings...retirem­ent funds.......Guns???..

  • Oh I understand what the banks were doing and they still are, only this time it will be much much worse. Go watch the documentary "Inside Job" about 2009 collapse to see the truth. The outstanding debt because of the dirivatives scam is estimated to almost $1 quadrillion. The world banks are right now passing around a $50 trillion debt. It's only a matter of time and we are going to experience the greatest GLOBAL depression imagineable and the bankers are beyond wealthy.

  • @ee121173 EXACTLY SO! Very well stated.

  • @ee121173 They have already told us what they are doing, they have been saying it for years even, they are moving China into power. They do not feel that the American system(Any part of it) is sufficient/it is to primitive. In reality though, I think it is all about shifting the balance of power, more for those that have it, less for everyone else. THEY know what they are doing, and THEY do not give a good goddamn about anyone else.
