    Hal, figured this out a LONG TIME ago…….why cant the politicians and the average American?
    Because the former DOESNT CARE and/or CYA!
    The latter – to obsessed with their tatoos, I-phone or bogus, stupid TV programming….
    oh, well!

      Marc . I aggree. Politcians “NEVER” want to fix things, because that would make them very unpopular with the voters, so they kick the can down the road till the next lot come into power,they then blame them for the mess, so they then kick the can…….on & on it goes, in one great big circle. So long as they promise MR & MRS freebies , they will get away with it …What your country need’s is a third party, to knock these selfish lazy politicians out of their comfort zone.

    The first fall-out in France from their 75% income about to start is that the richest man in France just moved about 100 miles and is now a resident of Belgium!

    THe two states with fastest population growth in the US: Texas and Florida; picking Californians, New Yorkers and Illini…….wonder why?

      cfs. HE is just the first of many, soon there will be a flood leaving, the only millionares left in france will be the politions, & they wont be paying 75% tax, because they know all the loopholes, Why ?…Because they wrote them into the laws, to protect themselves.

    So what else is new?
    It’s just one guy who clearly states dire straights the US is in; And so is the rest of the Western World!
    The US has tried to push the blame to all other scape goats, including Japan, then China and the BRICS and of course now the EU and its €-experiment has become the main threat to the US-$ hegemon(e)y – when the rest of the globe is starting to price major resources in reality, rather than the US $; And while having adhered to the Nymex, Comex pricing et al for too long, the real values in future will be determined again by supply and demand – supply and demand not of the “availability” of US currency – No, by reality.
    As an Austrian (including Austrian Economists), I don’t really care if Barrack or Mittens are evolving winners from Nov.6 – as I’m rather impartial to both … meaning no change is to be expected.
    So why not go on and spend the future of our next several generations, just to enable us escape inadvertent austerity for a year or two. That seems to be the only real target of our wise government, having already succumbed to a neo-fascist idealogy of state and corporate power.
    Looks like Montsanto rules the corn, wheat and barley (don’t dare touch my (SCOTCH), in a irreplaceple generic form, not ever reproducing, though necessitating huge amounts of herbicides, pesticedes and other GMO related problems – now just cancerous rats – tomorrow we’re the rats.
    My problem is that any kind of ethics and morals in the western world, and in particular in Wall Street and Washington, D.C. have corrupted all and every man, woman, Senator and deputies and have deserted all of them, when reality knocked!

    Again, Mittens or Barrack in reality are just two clowns, standing for the real powers of corporate and government controled US – a synonym of FASCIS’M!
    gotcha – frr

    OUTSTANDING….succinct and to the point.

    THANKS!

    Well, the explanations are getting even more clear. Still a little education required to understand it. then there is the common sense not to believe what the gov. is telling people. (thats a tuff one) Excellent vid, anybody know if more than 2% of people are following this stuff yet?

      Sep 28, 2012 28:03 PM

      I would guess not, benb

    Austria is thinking of leaving the eurozone.

    An Austrian Canadian named Frank Stronach wants to lead them out and they are starting to take this very successful businessman and entrepreneur seriously.

    I would rather see a businessman in government than some idealist with a degree in psychology or something equally useless running The Fed or the US bureaucracy.

      Sep 28, 2012 28:30 PM

      DT…..I totally agree with your last statement.

        Sep 28, 2012 28:45 PM

        I expect that the most probable solution is for the current EU to become a free trade area with many countries forced to re-introduce their own currencies. Germany, Austria and a few other might retain a common euro currency, but the old guard power-elite bureaucrats will not give in easily. The bureaucrats will try for an immediate fiscal union, but that will not succeed.
