Your first problem was pointing to the tacky looking WorldReports website put together by eccentric right leaning individuals. Would have been better to post the original source material which are more difficult to for the curmudgeons here to refute. Even some on the left have tacky looking websites. I glean info from all over the spectrum because there is some truth to be gleaned in all of them if not just to watch the bigger picture of the brewing (or centuries ongoing) war between the right and the left. When I find such items on web pages I know will bring hackles from the peanut gallery about the "messenger" the solution is often a click away at the top of the article which contains a link to the original.
I really don't think we're going to see the light at the end of the tunnel very soon. The rich have trashed the economy using their faithful serfs the Republicans (and even enlisting some Democrats) so they can buy our properties for pennies on the dollar. I solute the rich with my middle finger and encourage the public to do so too. They've had power far too long and it is time for a real revolution and move economic thought into the 21st century to make it a world for the people and not a selfish few. brian64705 wrote: > Judy, If by "reputable" you mean main stream media, I have to disagree when > it comes to investigations of very powerful vested interests. > > But what I find heartening in this story is indeed now we seem to be seeing > more truth in main stream outlets such as Bloomberg.
