Bones couldn't save this dead cat. The tricorder shows no vital signs." Why not bury the dead and start over again this time being rational and thinking about a finite earth? The economy is far too important to be left to the care of bickering economists and worse the politicians. Why not trash greed and bleed and move to something human. "You can ever raise a dead man. Oh no: you can praise him but can't raise him." Brecht “Great Milton’s ghost, the economy is dead, Neither Uncle Milties shock therapists nor Greenspan’s paddles can bring that thing back except as a zombie. Bones couldn’t save this dead cat.

The Fed and the IRS should go the way of the dodo as both entities feed off of each other and the Fed is a private enterprise run for and by bankers. Foxes guarding the chicken house is never a good idea and the same goes for finances. As we move toward the end of oil, the system increasingly breaks down. When this is combined with incompetent politicians, egregious military adventurism and tax cuts, the road to a perfect storm is set in place. We are in big trouble and no one has a clue to get us out, least of all the Greenspans of the world who contribute nothing yet take everything. Not a a good place to be in.
