Shades, RE: "'Mr. Chairman, the United States is bankrupt: It has been bankrupted by the corrupt and dishonest Fed." Why does this happen again and again? What's up with this position? Maybe it needs to be eliminated or something. Fed Chairman's don't seem to understand a balanced budget. RE: " Its chief foreign creditor is Great Britain, and a British bailiff has been at the White House and the British Agents are in the United States Treasury making inventory arranging terms of liquidations!" So much for being our friends. RE: "'Roosevelt's next haul for the International Bankers was the reduction in the pay of all Federal employees. " Good move.
