svelteParticipant“You have to have a command of the English language or you’re just nowhere. I mean like…say you get out of college or whatever…you’re gonna go into business, you’re gonna open a bank just for an example. You’ve got to give it the right name. It’s gotta be something big and strong like Security First Trust and Federal Reserve. And you have to name a bank that because nobody’s gonna put their money in Fred’s Bank. ‘Hi, I’m Fred, I have a bank. You got $1500? Ahhh, I’ll put it here…in my white suit'”

Just to lighten the thread a bit. My point? Just because you run Security First Trust and Federal Reserve doesn’t mean you know any more about managing money than, say, Fred. You just have better command of the English language.
In fact, at this point in time, I bet Fred has lost less of his investor’s money than most large banks.

GuestSounds like the beginnings of Socialism in America. I think what Jefferson is referring to is point #4 in Karl Marx remarks on how to develop a socialist government. This will all be augmented by Obama and the crazies that follow him.

Participant“We’ve gotten off-track. Remains to be seen if we’re able to correct course.”
————————————————
If history is any guide then there really is no doubt as to whether we’ll be able to correct course. I can’t think of a single example of any empire faced with such debasement and decline ever able to accomplish restoring the empire to glory days.
Egypt – nope
Persia – nope
China – nope
Greeks – nope
Turks – nope
Romans – nope
Spanish – nope
English – nope
Soviets – nope
USA – ?Can anyone think of one successful example?
