"Never let a crisis go to waste." Just another false prophet boomer leading the world to calamity. It worked for FDR when he pushed the Japanese into attacking pearl harbor. They never teach the real history of WWII, or the Revolution, with its connections to banking institutions that were instrumental in colonial control / oppression, the great depression & financing both sides of WWII. On & on. . .

Beware, the boomer generation are false prophets. Most are hypocritical, selfish and arrogant. Look where we are today, and where we are going.

RED FLAG. Possible 'white terrorist' attack in Minnesota. Northern white state. They closed the state government and sent the employees home. Maybe to plant explosives.

I'm not so sure about the "can't have QE3" part... we're getting close to finding out though...

2003-4, Attorney's General from 50 states petitioned Cheney/ Greenspan (Bush was absent that day) to regulate & stop predatory mortgage lending as did the FBI's understaffed white collar crime units who reported liars loans as "out of control" Bush supporter Roland Arnall's Ameriquest was the object of the FBI's report. Cheney knew what was going on from Arnall, the FBI & 50 AG's. His response? The co-president's SEC allows 30-1 credit reserves & pours gasoline on the out-of-control fire.

A good book to go along with this is Tipping Points. Check it out.

This whole discussion and Howe's book are fascinating and chilling. I can't believe how this guy predicted what is going on now. What the big culmination will be can't be known yet. I think the first trigger was the eco meltdown and election of our first black president.

I am hoping we are up to the future, and that a tea party type will not be president when the crisis hits.

This is great stuff...Neil Howe and Tom are right on. Why can't people see past the mainstream media propoganda. Unfortunately it is both major parties that are blindly in the pockets of wealthy interests.  Too bad Hartmann must point mainly to Repubs, first it is inaccurate, and it causes people reject his valid points. Politics is rigged to support the elite establishment and ensure middle class serfdom for their gain - incredibly even to the point where we have sold off America.

Good panel. Sane people make for much better discussions than nut-jobs.
