Bandito,

I have to disagree with you on the Fed. The powers that own and operate the fed want to obligate the world to as much debt as they possibly can, and all the crap that is happening now is only help to serve the debtmasters. When fully debt loaded (almost there), they will then crash the system via US dollar obliteration and we will beg them for a new currency to right the ship and, wallah, the IMF steps in with the SDR, or some such.

"Give me control of the money supply, and I care not who makes the laws...."
