The Wizzard of Oz

[Charles]

Now what's wrong with a system where the Federal Reserve can privatize earnings and nationalize losses by passing them onto the lender of last resort...the Fed Gov, in other words, the taxpayer.

Other than it's rotten to the core.

"Ripe and ready to the eye, rotten somehow to the core".

"In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such, because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as others have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.. I doubt too whether any other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution. For when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? " Ben Franklin

[BlueStreak]

In other words, if Ben were with us now, he'd be sarcastically sayin', "Pffft! Who coulda seen this comin'?"
