The 2008 Quadrillion Dollar CDS Bubble


With all the news of the collapsing global financial markets, I have yet to hear any serious discussion about the impact of Congress
refusal to address the problem they created. With their implementation of the Gramm Leach & Bitely Act and the repeal of Glass-Steagall Act while at the same time, legislating that the hidden CDO market of $1,000,000,000,000.00 and all its investors (the 1%) investments were legislatively guaranteed payment before we the people, get a penny.

Wonder why cash is disappearing from your pocket? Why your government is being stripped of their public mandates, employees, funding and a future? What about all the services government use to provide that are being replaced by the fee-for-service private sector? The 99% are now legislatively responsible for the success and wealth of the 1% whether the 99% starves or not.

As it is now and has been throughout our short history as a species, the 99% has always and will always continue to be the bitches of the 1%.


Go Bernie, Go!

We all know the results of money in politics, if we don't fight this NOW and end it, we will witness the ushering in of TPP which will change things in the worst way. NOW is the time to wake up, get everyone you know on board for a Bernie win. We have to shut this coup down and gain back our voice and representation. We will accomplish that only with a Bernie win, and a congressional majority.

We can do this.
