Those are grave mistakes of the past - but how can we stop the panic now? I found it outrageous than none of the presidential candidates are calling for a wide investigation of WS firms, insurance companies and their counterparts in other countries for the present mess and the explosion in OTC derivative financial instruments - at most they pay little lip service - Why the head of GS collects $70 million in compensation when at the same time his firm gets $10 billion of tax payers money is beyond me – and they do it NOW

"The issue is that during the past 8 years real incomes for citizens in 90% of the western economies fell, while world population rose." Remember this the next time your local governments advocate increasing the population through immigration or other means (religion). Increased population does NOT equal prosperity in fact quite the contrary. The only people who profit from an increased population base are the corporatists...the new enemies (well they always were enemies of the people but most can't figure that out even to this day in spite of whats going on)
