This economic meltdown is no accident folks

[utilitarian]

Hi utilitarian,

Selling everything for gold is a stupid idea, and anyone who puts all his eggs in one basket is asking for failure. So I agree with your sarcasm there. Here is an article that was written back in February:

Now tell me the whole market mess and credit mess was not engineered specifically for the purpose of devaluing the dollar and masking the inflationary burden that would result. The recession was planned! A deep recession was PLANNED!!!!! This is my whole point. Look at the title of this thread. The meltdown was no accident. The wealth of those of us in the United States is being deflated and stolen by our government.

My patience with people who don't understand money and what money really is can be really short. I am an old fogey at 48 years old and I get tired of explaining it to others. The whole system of the fiat dollar of the US is meant to steal wealth from its citizens under the guise of inflation. Those who understand that realize what crime is being committed by those in charge of our government. They are taking away our wealth and freedoms bit by bit with each contrived crisis.

No, the whole market was not engineered specifically for "devaluing the dollar and masking the inflationary burden that would result."  If you look at what happened in the financial sector, it can be explained by poor regulations and selfish and short-sighted actions on the part of many individuals.  This combinations of independent self-serving acts is what caused us to be in the mess we are in.

If you think there is a "plan" behind everything bad that happens in the world, well, you will find some video on youtube to back up your assertions.  But sometimes, bad outcomes are not coordinated, they result from independent actions.

You didn't even read the article!

That's fine, you believe what you want.

Once again it is a roadblock of what one wants to believe. I believe it is time to stop dumping our debt on our children. What they are doing is the same as giving someone who has already maxed out a dozen credit cards another credit card to keep spending with. If you believe that's fine then good for you. I think that attitude is insane and the epitome of irresponsibility. Don't make me laugh.

It's that same attitude that has gotten us into this mess. We don't need more Federal regulation. We have enough Federal regulation in our lives. Of course the more the better for you. Maybe they should start regulating what you spend too. Then they can save you from yourself in case you are not smart enough to regulate your finances yourself.

See, this is the attitude of someone who thinks creating money out of thin air is fine. You are dumping your debt on your children. What a fine gift to give them for their future. Apperently nine TRILLION dollars in debt so far is fine with you. Jack it up higher dude. Spend more and more. Who cares. Our children can worry about it.

This generation of Americans still has no clue.

Howdy Y'all,

Apparently congress doesn't give a crap about what the people think, they are going to pass that bill anyway.  This shows us where their affiliation is, greed and not doing what is right.  Despite the overwhelming popular response to kill the bailout package, they are going to do what the wealthy want.  Uuulgh...

Blessed Be...

Very telling and interesting how some do not wish to acknowledge that the "bailout" is being orchestrated behind the scenes by the very same foreign bankers who stole all the profits in the first place.

Once again proving that liqueur, whore's, and coke don't grow on trees.

Regards...

Everyone needs to call their Congressman once again and right away and let them know that you are firmly against the $700 billion dollar wallstreet bailout. Tell them not to put this burden of debt on us and our children. Let them know you are serious!!!!!

Do it NOW!!
