This time it's serious!

One of the things that annoys me is how casually most people are taking the grim economic news that is happening all around them.  They think that this economic meltdown is just a typical recession and soon everything will be all right.

Well here's a guy who seems willing to tell them that are just wrong.  And of course, I am of the opinion that we cannot pull ourselves out of the fix we are in without major political change.  Like riots in the streets--storm the Bastille change, not Uncle Barry change.  So even though I do not agree with this guy's politics, he is right to point out the jam we are in if we treat seriously the debts imposed on us by the banksters.

Our massive debt binge has financed our tremendous growth and prosperity over the last couple of decades, but now the day of reckoning is here.

And it is going to be painful. more
