It's been a long time in the making (98 years to be exact), but we're nearing some kind of transition point.

Is it coincidental that the Federal Reserve Act was enacted in 1913, and the 16th Amendment (income tax) was ratified the same year?

The perfect slave system, one in which people actually believe they are free. Just look at all the rabid posts @ FR blaming the Dems, when in actuality, the fake conservatives (Reps) are in on the scam as well.

The entire ball of wax is predicated on ever higher levels of public+private debt. It can never go down. Once a newly minted congressperson shows up in DC, perhaps full of vain glory and ideals, they are shown the real data.

It's why even supposed TP reps caved and voted to increase the debt ceiling. No one wants to go there - everyone figures they can blame Bernanke of some other person when this mofu blows.
