It's now all about buying votes with "appropriations" that get tagged onto the eventual bailout bill.
It's not about should we do this or shouldn't we.
It never is anymore.... and hasn't been for decades.
That's why we're still in Iraq even though the Democrats have the power
over funding..... they just see it as a bargaining chip over the Republicans
instead of seeing it as a moral or constitutional issue.
Nothing is about right or wrong anymore, constitutional or unconstitutional.

They both agree to give each other money that America doesn't have.
And where does the money come from?

The government doesn't have any money, it doesn't produce anything...
It can only redistribute wealth through taxation and if that were all we
had to decide that would be fine..... we, as a Nation would then be living within our means.

But they can't tax us any more and the politicians know that.
So how can they fund this "I'll give you yours if you give me mine" racket?

They can't steal it anymore, the social security fund is already full of IOU's.

They either have to borrow it or print it instead of just deciding to NOT SPEND IT.

We're broke, and certainly not because of this bailout crisis.

China works hard and saves money.... they are doing what REALLY works, and what we USED to do.
They're better at free market capitalism than we are. Sad.
We even funded the adventure in Iraq with their money plus interest.
That's drying up now.... we maxed out our credit cards.

So we print it, inflating the money supply expanding the currency bubble even more.
This is an unsustainable monetary policy... logically doomed.

Both parties are in on this doomed racket at the expense of the people.
They are doing us no favors by not addressing these critical issues

The empire is coming to an end and we will leave Iraq whether we like it or not.
We're broke and anybody that doesn't think so.... just doesn't understand the racket in Washington.

It's exactly the same sh## in two different piles.
Our vote is a false choice. Abortion, health care, tax cuts, Iraq are just things to keep us occupied.......
you'll never hear a debate question on monetary policy or the Constitutionality of the Federal Reserve. Never.

Now that statement WILL come back to bite you in the ###.

It hasn't yet. I don't post ####, unlike the Liberal POS's who post around here.

Prove me wrong, I'll either defend my statement or admit I'm wrong.

Most loser Liberals have tried and failed and I assume that trend will continue.

What would you do with the stuff after it's mined Lob? Suddenly invent technology which has been maddeningly elusive for nearly one hundred years? Don't you think the energy companies would be exploiting the stuff if it was remotely economically possible? Don't hand me #### about the Democrats and environmentalists either. Remember, Exxon, Unocal, Tosco, Shell, and many others have already worked in here (Exxon alone dumped over five billion dollars into this dream) and all pulled out after seeing the futility of this given the necessity of and scarcity of the massive water supply and expensive logistics involved.
FRIENDLY SUGGESTION- Learn more about shale (kerogen), what is involved and how much water is required to retort (you know what that is, right?) a heavy, crude-like substance from the kerogen, and then refine that into finished refinery products. Very few existing refineries can process this heavy, dirty, sulphur laden compound (way beyond even "sour" crude) so what would you do with the stuff assuming that you really COULD economically mine and retort it?
I will assure you that the price of crude oil would have to exceed $200/ bbl for this to become even remotely feasible.

Bottom line- Shale oil is the oil of the future-and probably always will be. The concept of mining shale seems to come up about every ten years- mostly touted by individuals and politicians with not much knowledge of what is involved.
Most people with knowledge of the subject realize that shale oil is just a cruel, tantalizing joke.

Since nobody ventured a guess....
Phase four will be when "media" starts pushing the "global monetary crisis" buzz words....
and suprise, suprise! Here it appears.... presto! (right on schedule)
the global thugs in fine hats are not wasting any time.... pushing for a
Global Monetary Authority

September 28th, 2008 Via: [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. :


Even if the US’s massive financial rescue operation succeeds,

it should be followed by something even more far-reaching – the establishment of a Global Monetary Authority
to oversee markets that have become borderless. (really.... tell us more)

Washington recognises that the crisis has become global.

Hank Paulson, Treasury secretary, has said that foreign banks operating in the US
will be eligible for federal assistance and he is urging other nations to fashion their own bail-out programmes.
Central banks have also been synchronising injections of funds into markets.

These should be steps to a more comprehensive international response designed
not just to extinguish the current fires, but to rebuild and maintain the capital markets for the longer term.
(what a great idea... how bout a one world currency..... how bout just get rid of all those pesky "borders"?)


The current global institutional apparatus is woefully incapable of overseeing the financial system that is evolving.
(here's the carrot)
This can happen with a conscious, negotiated modification in the US financial model,
(now the stick)
or it could result from foreign investors shifting their funds elsewhere.
All of these considerations point to the eventual need for a new Global Monetary Authority.
(gosh... there's just no other solution is there???)

......It would scrutinise the regulatory activities of national authorities (so much for our sovereignty)
with more teeth than the IMF has and oversee the implementation of a limited number of global regulations.


It would monitor global risks and establish an effective early warning system with more clout to sound alarms than the BIS has.

(here's the teeth)
It would act as “bankruptcy court” for financial reorganisations of global companies above a certain size.
The biggest global financial companies would have to register with the GMA and be subject to its monitoring, or be blacklisted.
That includes commercial companies and banks, but also sovereign (hahahah rotflmao) wealth funds,
gigantic hedge funds and private equity firms.

The GMA’s board would have to include central bankers not just from the US, UK, the eurozone and Japan, but also China, Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
It would be financed by mandatory contributions (global taxation!) from every capable country and from insurance-type premiums from global financial companies –
publicly listed, government owned, and privately held alike.
In terms of US and international politics, a Global Monetary Authority is probably an idea whose time has not yet come.
That may change as today’s crisis evolves.
(just watch for the media "shift" in coming months)
