Nearly 235 years after moving out in a massive row, the United States has asked to move back in with Britain “temporarily,” until it can get out of debt and back on its feet. The former colony, which is $14 trillion in the red, “just needs to retrench” following a few bad years and hopes living with its parents will help it save up some money to get a new start. Britain, however, has yet to agree, explaining that it has its own financial problems and has nowhere to put America, as the Leeward Islands moved back in just last week. In a phone call with the U.S. earlier today, Queen Elizabeth was initially unsympathetic to her former charge’s plight. satirewire.com Monopoly is exactly how our economy works. Bankers give away money allowing insiders use the fake money to buy real assets. My question is, why do we have an economy that is designed to put our neighbors in the poor house and concentrate wealth into the hands of the banker’s buddies? The short answer is that when you let bankers make the laws, this is inevitable. The long answer lies with us and the fact that we remain willingly ignorant of these criminal activities. Try playing Monopoly another way. No inflationary “Pass Go ” money, no community chest, no forced redistribution of wealth, etc. It makes for a pretty boring game. But that is how our real economy should work. If there was no counterfeiting or forced redistribution of wealth, no one can usually can put together a Monopoly to bankrupt everyone. The Elite know this very well and have created an inflationary Monopoly economic system that in the end will bankrupt us all and they win. This fast moving, slight of hand economy has benefited no one except the insiders and it is coming to an end. No one has even begun to think about the ramifications of this collapse, much less prepared for it. Those that did not see this coming will have no idea what to do when it gets here.
