Man, the citizens of this country are being duped big time, again.
Dupe: One that is easily deceived or cheated; delude, trick.
President Obama quoted Thomas Jefferson in his nationally televised speech tonight. Here's another quote from Jefferson (attributed):
Thomas Jefferson: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."
Simon Johnson, former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund warned that the finance industry had effectively captured the US government and that “recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform.”
There is no debt ceiling crisis. Obviously increases in the debt ceiling don’t need to be tied to deficit reductions in future year budgets. Obama and both political parties and their financial bosses are creating a crisis, shamefully scaring little old ladies about their Social Security checks, the millions that rely on Medicare and Medicaid, and tonight, disability checks for Veterans of the elite's wars, all to further the agenda of the financial oligarchy. Obama has clearly tied the debt ceiling issue to the debt and deficit issues by his own words. He is the one who is telling the country we MUST reduce spending and share the "burden". Conveniently the Republicans get in the way so the crisis can be deepened and the days can be counted down on CNN. They refuse to compromise and agree to his token tax loophole changes for the super wealthy even though he's agreed to begin their mutual attack on entitlements. That would be hilarious if the situation wasn't dangerous to the American public. Classic political good cop, bad cop routine to collaboratively get the main prize while also fighting for political advantage.
"We risk economic crisis". Ya we do, if we let you guys get away with this shit.
