They aren’t grazing sheep in the Forum quite yet, but ever since 1971 when the Federal Reserve-bankster looting spree began (when Nixon cut their golden leash, and especially in 2002-2006 when Greenspan and Bush launched the biggest bubble in the history of the world), Americans have been getting poorer. There has been massive overinvestment in real estate, and now the vultures are coming home to roost in depopulated cities. And there is only one hope for widespread prosperity: a crowbar must be taken to the central bank. (Thanks to Robert Mayer)
