@Red__Sunset,

The government relied on private bankers to cope with insolvency in the past. When the fiat "Green Back" expires from War squandering the Banks will help evolve the Cashless economy. This involves digital "World Money", and loss of privacy.

Synchro, 
Yes, bankers is a subject by itself.  The times are changing and banks are becoming more greedy, no surprise they post such incredible profit margins at the end of the year, and super bonuses.  We have already reached the "negative interest" level, you pay the bank for them to hold your money.  Do a google with 'negative interest', it is happening already in Switzerland.
The laws of Thermodynamics apply here. no free lunch here except if you are in the financial power seat.
You are right, cashless control is coming, but I can not see it to become absolute. If enforced, I am sure a sub-world, like black market will develop based on the old ways.  Who knows ?

Privacy, you have lost that already. You are already everywhere, not much you can do about it.  You want to make it worse, get a "smart phone" and a "Facebook" account.
People voluntary give up their privacy. To be hooked into the WWW is bi-directional, like mutual inductance or Bemf or friction.
The laws of physics and life are quite consistent throughout nature.

Declaring conclusions does not make them right.  What is remarkable to me is that people wander off on speculations where they easily discredit themselves by jumping to conclusions, while ignoring what is indisputable, wrong, and in need of public action.  The physical mechanics of 9/11 are a flea speck compared to the evil that has been done in the name of avenging 9/11 and preventing further terrorism.

Much speculation indicates a deep interest and underlying push for truth and in the case of 9/11 the monstrous evil that followed this tragic event has focused minds on the true motives for the event.

I see a lot of energy put into silly ideas like nano-thermite, and dustifying space beams that does absoutely nothing to marshal against the infinite wars abroad, the decimation of the Constitution at home, the prospect that a two very chummy family dynasty will have run the country for 28 out of 36 years, or that the too big to fail financial institutions that are being subsidized to the tune of nearly $400 billion per year, have not only not been reformed, are taking bigger risks than ever.  These are all huge crimes in progress.

The "Too Big To Fail" doctrine goes against the basic fundamentals of capitalism and free markets.  If a company can not survive in the current market, then they fail...period.  If they are too big, then let's look at the Sherman Act and other legislation to see how they were allowed to get that big in the first place.  No company is too big to fail.  I am a free market guy and I say, let the chips fall where they may.  Using peoples hard earned tax money to prop up a failing company is not the way to go.  The way this was done is fascism.  Same with the auto makers or any other business.

Just my opinion.

You make a good point Bill  (highlited)
The other impact that is commonly overlooked is how those "too big too fail" Banks,  absorbed many smaller banks >> increasing the monopoly size even more.  I don't remember the exact number of banks operating in the US after the financial crisis but the reduction was dramatic.  The financial crisis served the big boys well in capturing a bigger share of the market.
