US Meltdown - USA

October 2008

With the elections coming up, pressure is on the candidates to convince voters that they can provide a solution to the economic meltdown. The finances of the average American will decide the outcome.
Markets are still highly unstable and it enhances a feeling of panic that can easily upset the financial world within a few hours: you dont know which market is triggering either the good feeling or the bad feeling in the next market, a trader explains. Average voters feel theyre being made to pay for Wall Streets mistakes and they plan to express their anger on the 4th of November. Nothing matters right now except the economy, says a professor of economics, when you poll Americans on what they are going to vote on, number 1, 2 and 3 is the economy, the economy, the economy. This doesnt bode well for the Republican ticket.

Does it really matter who you vote for? You just change the politicians but the same group of banksters are in charge. It is very disheartening for the middle class.

It is all part of the illuminati plan to set up a one world government.

Why do they have those big American flags on the buildings, busses, etc.

@AMINOGEN1: You mean we have money for war but no money for the American people. You cannot have guns and butter.

Yet Government gave Bailout money to AIG who paid $1million to each executives. The Bilderburg group and banks made money. Yet the hard working citizens lost money. Does it make sense? No.
