Ahhh, and the ever-recurring theme of our endlessly corrupted gov cow-towing and protecting corporate interests and shafting all the little people. Our Gov may as well just rename itself the US Corporatement. It's almost jaw dropping how crooked this entire establishment is. And it's right in all of our faces. They are literally flipping us all the bird while burrying us.

So, if they borrow the money from the American taxpayer, they gotta pay it back, right? :shk:

The only thing we little guys can count on trickling down from the fat cats and big bankers is their urine as they piss on us all.

They're using our bonds to pay off the banks.

We lend the government money, and in turn, the government lends it to private institutions.

That sounds like a great way to receive interest...Actually it doesn't at all.

Anyone with bonds now is not going to receive that money back. Nice fed, nice.
