Our on-going perestroika

In spite of anything you might hear from Obama ad-Dajjal, Jeff Immelt, or Warren Buffet, the former United States of America cannot compete in this neoliberal world it helped create:


We've still got a LOT of restructuring to do, and I predict that we will have to default on our debts before this is all over.

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

-Thomas Jefferson

[There is controversy regarding the authenticity of this Jeffersonian quotation, but I believe it accurately describes our current situation.]
