i was doing some looking around from here and there.money is the source of alot of stuff.history involves it,in early age’s only few had it.they bought the gold.then they came and mined it themself’s.creed,foriegn banks couldnt have formed in america in the 1700’s or the 1800’s in plain sight.to patriotic a people.so they had names like,bank of america.wachovia,and so on for todays age.slowly changeing names as time grew on and people became less caught up in history and and respect of that history,now money is tight.the people who own most of the money now seem to want it back,because for some reason they say america will be printing money-not backed up ? by what-not gold any more.it was the tax’s we paid when we aorked.but then again over the years many more things and america has reached a point they no longer need you as a people.all the major wars are over.the Indians are gone because of money,a new land.banks are bad,they control the rates of inflation also.so they loan you the money,then change their rates and you have no choice,and this they plan one more time i’m sure.asking people to pull out if ya got it because you won’t get it for 5 % next month maybe.thats like ringing a wash cloth till it is almost dry,then the rates shoot back up.unemployment will never get better,there is no industry left to support americans today.all the plants shut down and went to other countries with these being plans made by the banks,how do you employee a nation while at the time you are still shutting down plants moveing to other countries ! please explain .if you can’t employ us.we won’t need many bank’s.hence the darn original name from early day’s.family name’s.they loan lot’s of money also.buy every thing.banks own us if we have credit,if you want a house.and ain’t got cash,you better have a large ( 20% ?) down.last drain on the ones who have money saved to go down by buying a home someone else lost for in a short time you will face the same issue.another houseing failure.the buyer will be the suffer.the loaner will still have dinner served to them very nicely i bet.it run’s deeper,the bank’s are under control.they are just getting rid of middle men.peace out world.i love ya.lbroke ass american…
