Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

The Root of all Evil.

Abolishing this Global institution would be first of my three wishes!!!!

Second would be to have my mortgage paid off, magically.

Third would be for world peace, or something, but if #1 is taken care of, #3 would likely right itself.

And if I could have a fourth wish, I would wish to never be cold again combined with a solid plan to reforest the Earth.

You guys remember back when you were a kid, and were like, man, someday I am gonna be a millionare? Well, it is precisely because of these modern day pirates that a millionare is now small potatoes. Now, we talk trillions. And you all are missing a crucial point, which is, that the National debts are not supposed to be paid back and wont ever be. They will continue to monetize the debt and eventually own everything, just like in the boardgame Monopoly. Incidently, that game was originally developed and released to teach children about the pitfalls of predatory capitalism.

Under their current crisis, that would be an end of money. Are we better off letting them continue to create crises or jump off into the maximum crisis?

No. The Constitution is very clear about this. It is the Congress that shall have the power to coin MONEY, and shall regulate the value thereof.

It is that simple, and the Congress can start doing it tomorrow, and there would be NO national debt. Same for every other Country in the World.

In fact, Congress could print one unit of Money for exactly what the national debt is, and pay it off tomorrow, if they so wished, or if so was demanded by the People who knew how the Money-System really works (or doesnt, according to one´s point of view).

The Federal Reserve is Not federal, nor are there any reserves. We dont use Money anymore, we use debt instruments called FRN´s.

Ya all should read that book, DW posted.
Then, read: Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Then you will have a partial understanding of how the Global Pirates operate.

Do ballots even count for anything anymore? It's looking like the end of checks and balances is upon us, hey Gunny, any extra room on the boat to Ukraine? Our current state of affairs reminds me of this:

Oh the borders are open all the time. In fact come visit me for say few weeks and make a informed decision. It is a big culture change, not everybody will like it. It is NOt the land of milk and honey and all, but for me it is how I want to live.

- woodbutcherbynight
But you will be able to get milk, and honey, and eggs, and lots of bread; and with a good woman to keep you warm at night, what else does one need, really? A dog, maybe. Some martial arts training would also probably be a plus- but you should ask first if your potential enemy has gone through Spetsnaz.
