There is no need to talk about Bernanke

or the Federal Reserve. Millions around the world know what the Fed and the IMF and all of the Central banks are doing, yet, most of us do nothing.

And why is that? Why do we BITCH about something so horrific and do nothing but talk about it?

Anyone? Bueller?

Their plan is to muddle through for another 3+ years

Submitted by go213mph on Wed, 02/27/2013 - 11:30.

Even after that...things will take years to recover. The only way "we the people" can force the issue and make the economy hit bottom so that we can regroup and begin a REAL recovery is for everyone to withdraw their money from the banks. JUST DO IT!

CROOKS!

Maxine Waters (Chronic Corrupt Member of Congress)

Submitted by go213mph on Wed, 02/27/2013 - 11:15.

In the midst of a national financial catastrophe, Rep. Maxine Waters used her position as a senior member of Congress and member of the House Financial Services Committee to prevail upon Treasury officials to meet with OneUnited Bank. She never disclosed that her husband held stock in the bank.

Rep. Waters is an eleven-term member of Congress, representing California’s 35th congressional district. She is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee.

Rep. Waters was included in CREW’s 2005 and 2006 Most Corrupt Report for unrelated matters, as well as in the 2009 report for her actions regarding OneUnited.
