Wiemar Republic might not work this time...that's if it even worked last time...if I remember right, well, they just brought in the concentration
camps and removed people to work to death...I think that solved alot of their problems...
the elite, the german military and such, well, they still were living a rather good life I think.
but, people then had savings that could be drained...
much of that savings was drained via confiscation as they rounded up people for the camps.
now, the workers at least in the US don't have much in savings....high inflation will probably just starve them out of existence...
the non working poor?? well, ya, you might get them to work, but....still nothing to confiscate...
the elite....
plenty to confiscate there, and well, I see plenty of new laws aimed at doing it....but, I think in the end the elite have enough
cloat now to at least crash the whole system before they suffer any harm.
I think they've gotten themselves in a nice tight fitting corner, with no way out...not even hyperinflation...
time for war, time to find a new superpower, and time to divide up the spoils...namely the US....
oh, was wondering, heard about a nice little tidbit that was in the healthcare reform law, I think it was that encyclopedia of legal mumbo jumbo they
found it in....
businesses are gonna have to start reporting all transactions that involve sums over $600...
bush killed our economy and shredded the constitution, obama is just stomping the dead carcus into the dust...
if it wasn't dead before he came into office, he's making danged sure it is before he leaves...
I'm wondering if t he businesses will have to report every payroll check they issue over $600 on a weekly or biweekly basis or something....
a definate business killer! but, sure to create jobs....
every business just about will have to hire one or two new employees, just to report all these transactions!!!
oh, the interest being paid out is so much less because the bonds aren't paying crap....
and still investors have been flocking to buy them....thinking that they are "safe"
with all the happy, happy talk about "recovery"....
well.....how good can things be, if those with money to invest aren't looking for a return, just hoping to preserve what they have???
