Pic,
The two party system is broken. It's the same power brokers behind the curtain.Who cares who wins..we get Goldman cronies in the FED and Treasury either way.
I don't mind progressives and I don't mind social programs.
I also don't mind fair business practices and reasonable taxes.
I supported Ron Paul and met him at a private fund raiser here in Arizona. He really isn't the answer but at least he knew the questions to ask and wasn't afraid to ask them.
We lost the first battle in 1913 when the fed was created. The second was the confiscation of gold. The third was the assignation of Kennedy ( he was printing US silver certificates to compete with the fed notes). The next battle was the closing of the gold window and making currency backed by a commodity illegal world wide.
Since then it has been an Ponzi scheme or confidence game.
All fiat currencies fail.
This is just banter because the planet will only support so many people...one more doubling of the population and it's game over any way.
The current pace is 43 years....1965(3 Billion) to 2008 (6 plus billion). The projection is for 12 billion some time around 2060.
Just isn't going to happen.
