Irrational Greed

There has been much talk in the past about the merits of greed. Anyway you define it, greed is a motivating factor if kept into perspective. First off, money is NOT the root of all evil. That would be the LOVE OF MONEY. Money itself is a handy tool like a chainsaw instead of an ax. You can get much more accomplished using a monetary system than you can trading beans for fish or haircuts for brake jobs. Money removes the need to search out individuals who have complementing needs necessary before any cashless transaction can occur. Having said that, today more and more individuals are using the Internet to go around the need to use money in the traditional way because of the need to survive in this bankster, free range slave operation.

Really, the main trouble with money is the majority of the people on this planet don't have a clue about it. Most reading this will naturally assume money IS wealth. It is NOT. Money is a symbol of wealth - at least the paper version of the stuff. Think about it for a second. If money was actually wealth then all we'd need to do is print up enough for everybody to become comfortably rich, right? Well...when posed in this manner even the most feeble of numskulls can get "it."

Yet right there in the big media, like CNBC, the talking heads clamor for the Fed to inject liquidity (create up trillions of new electric money then lend it out to chosen sectors within the economy) to save the economy. Why?

The clear answer is irrational greed. Most of these individuals do not possess a great degree of expertise in the big economic picture and are experts in a few small aspects of the free range slave economy. They have 4.01 Ks and stocks that have been dropping like rocks too. It is true that getting the Federal Reserve to aid in price fixing in this way can prop up prices for the short run. So in the short run it might temporarily save the investment portfolios of the MSM talksters. But their broadcast tantrums for more Fed dough will eventually lead to the collapse of the dollar and our economy. Needless to say their portfolios will be toast once this happens. Those days will become more and more apparent as each day passes from here on.

Sometime next year most Americans will finally get these truths because the pain of the economy will have forced them to look beyond the surface veneer. They will be angry and will wish they could have their votes back that they will cast next week. But that is not possible and you will be stuck with the Congress and president that you asked for and deserve. Naturally some will cry that they voted for the other guy who lost but that guy would have done basically the same thing as the winner. The two-party hack candidates always do and you know it aside from their minor talking point disagreements. They Joe The Plumber you and you fall for it like a bass on a blood worm every time. However, you will feel angry once the swindle becomes apparent to you and you might want to lash out. Don't go there. Sit back, shut up and go to work if you still have a job. Survive the next two years of the depression that you requested through your voting record then start thinking rationally. Vote these greedy buggers out of Congress at the next opportunity. In 2012 there will be a pro American presidential candidate so vote for the rational choice.

Finally, this whole thing could come unglued and you must be prepared for that eventuality. For goodness sake if you have any patch of land grow food. Keep a reliable source of water. Remember, you are surrounded by a gang of barbarians filled with ignorance who will not be reading these words as you are. They will be desperate as will the barbarians in government who desperately attempt to cling to power. Stay out of the way of both of these groups as they do battle. Go to work then go home. It is a great time to reacquaint one's self with the family and to pull inward to ride out the storm.
