I'm one of those forced to share the planet with you "fine folks" until the mothership has mercy on me and sends a shuttle to take my arse back home.

Your statements show that you are a heavy consumer of the liberal propaganda

It's called common sense. Try it sometime, and stop letting yourself be programmed by these media ideologues. I don't subscribe to any of it, and instead form my own opinions. Something else you should try.

It's as easy as keeping the radio and tv off.

Really? This is your common sense...

if i'm the dictator, the first thing I do is reject this idea that private banks should be getting wholesale funding from the federal reserve.

so first off, i return the private financial system to a free market, and let it sink or swim. No more Fed credit, no more GSE's. It will probably sink. when it does, i would be ready with a flood of money from the fed, to be pumped directly into households, rather than the corporate & banking sector. Enough to grow the money supply, but not so much that it causes too much inflation. I would not limit money creation to the household sector, I would also consider the idea of having state banks, and these state banks would be the primary dealers, sort of like how North Dakota already works.

then i would change the tax code to discourage debt, not encourage it.

then i would flatten the tax code so that wages don't support the entire system; capital owners and businesses have to start paying as much as wage-earners.

then i'd sit back and watch the carnage, as these huge state-backed corporations fall apart, without any more money from the Federal Reserve to prop up their mistakes. Capitalism once more.
