What it does is water down an already weak dollar and ensure the collapse ahead is mind boggling indeed.

The thing is this...

The politicians can't be this stupid.... but, in the back of our minds, we prefer to think that they are actually that stupid because the alternative is that they are that evil.

When we are in a sinking ship and someone does something to "save us" and what they are doing is making the situation worse we first look warily on.

Then we begin to ask questions but give them the benefit of the doubt.

When it becomes clear that they here for the express purpose to ensure the sinking of the ship it is, generally, too late to stop it.

The politicians of this day are driving us head long into ruin at break neck speeds.
I agree, except, I've heard many of them say that they are not experienced and knowledgeable in the area of finance. Now, I can see that.

One example would be a teacher - that teacher studies all subjects, to a degree, in order to graduate, but they specialize in their area of expertise, i.e. History, English, etc.

I see many that specialize in their area, but not having overall knowledge. That's what is bad.

Yes... but they then stand behind their ignorance because convention is King.

People operate too much on what the "people in the know" say rather expending the energy to "know" for themselves.

The people "in the know" are often "on the dole".

Somebody or (somebodies) knows exactly what they are doing. Who those people are remain to be seen...or may never be seen. Hundreds of billions of dollars have already gone somewhere.

Yes, agreed!!! We do that as constituents to our party, as Stew has pointed out so many times.

It's a comforting thing to know that God is in control. That He sees all these things and will judge those who do wrong in this life and in the one to come. We don't have to fret that someone is getting away with something in darkness. We know and are confident that we all will reap what we sow.

Yes... God will judge those who we failed to control. But it won't stop the havoc that our closed eyes have brought upon ourselves.

God judged those who attacked Israel... but the attack often came because they, themselves, had ceased to heed the voice of God.

Re: Who Is Really Setting the Agenda?

There appears to be a method to the madness. In my honest opinion, the first round of hundreds of billions of dollars had to be pushed through by Republicans. If Bush had not exhibited freakish zeal and gotten 700 billion pushed through as he left office, there is no way the country would stand for this round by the Dems. What happened to the concept that administrations would not undertake this sort of thing at this magnitude when they realized that they would not be there for the implementation and follow-through? I seem to remember outgoing administrations even voicing this sentiment. Why the exact opposite here? Why the stance that it must happen right then?
Otherwise, I don't think the Dems would have the gall to push this one month after getting into office. It would be seen as validation that they are simply Socialist at their core...of course now no one can really make that claim too loudly or convincingly.

And the game goes on...

Re: Who Is Really Setting the Agenda?

Long term, where does this all lead?
I believe it will lead to the ecomonomic collapse of the United States, and the further rise of the European Union ("United States of Europe") as the next dominant world power... and help usher in the eventual New World Order/One World Government.

That's where I see this all going. We can complain all we want... but if this is something that's already predermined to happen, then it is going to happen regardless of what the "little people" think.
