The stock market rally is indicative of the amount of delusion permeating the masses. Obviously it will be short lived.

“It’s really sad when the responsible people in this country are punished.”

The punishment is an unintended or intended consequence of the marriage of government and corporations. This systemic problem, that is only getting worse, seems to have accelerated in recent years. The corruption is so overt at this point that most of us accept it as normal or write is off as stupidity. One of these days we will learn that the people we elect to office, on either side of the aisle, are not working for our best interest but the interest of a select few. Unfortunately, I think all of our nations wealth will be sucked dry before we realize what happened. It’s a parasitic economic-political model that is bound leave us impoverished.

During the housing bubble run up, every institution, including the fed, media and government were encouraging and praising the poor behavior. Mass delusion, or sinister plan?

Put another way, the global decision makers, international planners, financial institutions, political parties, media conglomerates, corporations, banks, a hegemonic, accumulative bloc working in concert to coordinate the extraction of wealth from first and third world alike. A series of privately held international institutions to which and from which money can be moved to leverage nations and populations according to their needs is probably gonna do just that because they can.

Anyway, put me in the ranks of the babbling paranoid until I see evidence to the contrary.
