Stop Raising The Ceiling When We Need To Raise The Roof! Part 2
In case you missed it, the link for part 1 is HERE
The financial crisis actually started well before any of us were ever born, but to keep part 2 simple; I will explain a bit more of the history in Part 2 Overdrive.
Currently our financial future is in the hands of a group known as “The Feds”. The Federal Reserve has been screwing up the financial system since 1913. Oddly enough to the average citizen, it is a private bank. Federal is in name only and is best described in an animated movie as “No more Federal than Federal Express”. So in reality, our financial futures are in the hands of a private banking system who could care less about us. Let’s just think about this…
1 We do not elect any of these people, therefore we have no say in who works there or who does not.
2 They are a private business. They are there to make money for themselves.
3 They do not answer to ANYONE. They do not have to prove responsibility to ANYONE. The way they handle our money is not audited by ANYONE.
What I just told you is only a summary of some of the problems with having the federal reserve, but I haven’t told you about the worst of it yet.
Look at any of the bill currency that we use here in the USA… at the top it says “Federal Reserve Note”. You see, while we use the money; it is not ours. This currency doesn’t even belong to our government. It is rented to us by the Federal reserve… with interest. Let me put this into perspective for you. Remember that the amounts shown are not actual, they are there to help you understand; but the situation is very real.
The Fed: For every dollar we loan you, you owe us the dollar back, plus 5 dollars.
Government: Ok we will take $100.00!
The Fed: OK, Here ya go! We will send you the bill.
Government: Thanks!
(At this point the government owes $100.00 back, plus $5.00 per every dollar loaned that is $500.00 interest. 100+500=$600.00)
Someone in the government talking to another government official: We just got the bill… it’s for $600.00.
The other official: I guess we will just borrow more. I mean we spent $50.00 of it, in taxes we made $10.00, and we need $100.00 more than what we have now for that birthday party the president wants.
Government: We need to borrow $1,800.00.
The Fed: No problem… here ya go!
Government: Oh…and here is the $600.00 for last time, and since we borrowed $100.00 this time; here is the other $600.00.
The Fed: Lovely! We love it when people pay on time! We will send you a statement on the balance.
Government: Thanks, we’ll be looking for it!
Someone in the government talking to another government official: We just got the bill… it’s for $10,800.00…
CONTINUE REPEATING PROCESS UNTIL SEVERAL TRILLIONS ARE OWED…
At this point you may be thinking “No way! Nobody would do that! That is stupid!”
I hate to tell you, but our country has been doing just that since 1913 when congress gave up it’s power. That’s right, we are creating a debt that there is absolutely no way (meaning completely impossible) to pay back!
Part 3 will be my answer to quickly getting out of debt, and repairing a hugely broken system.
Part 2A will be written after part 3 because it is more of a crash course history lesson.

Picture of the day.
The picture of the day is…
The part that I did not mention in my earlier post is that the picture of the day will still continue, I will just be doing so without a theme. This way I still get to show you the things that I see every day.
Discovery
Until a couple of days ago, I had been doing daily pictures based on a weekly theme; then 2 days ago it all stopped.
To be honest it was just too much to keep up with because I am pretty busy in my normal life. I gave it a try, and before long it was a chore; becoming less and less fun. I do what I do on here because I enjoy it. I love photography!
I hate politics, but the things that effect us are things that I take very seriously, and since I love to write, it makes writing about what goes on in our governments much easier.
This post for me is kind of like a status update, so you have some understanding of what is going on with the blog and a little of what happens in my life.
