I just heard an interesting figure. Between the US and other countries bailing-out the bankers/financiers, the ultra-rich have been given an amazing 4 Trillion dollars in the last 8 weeks alone! Put that in perspective along side the few millions regularly denied for a school lunch program; better shools; health care; etc., et al. Digusting is the only word and I can't understand why more aren't enraged at the theft ongoing for decades, and longer. 4 trillion dollars could solve most of the problems of the poor and struggling middle-classes - but that would be 'socialism' in the eyes of the socalledists at the top. They don't mind socialism [as long as it isn't called that] as long as they are the only beneficiaries. Yes, the Fed is as 'federal' as Federal Express. It is a private bank with its straw in our glass....and they've all but sucked it dry.
