They're intervening into currency markets on a large scale and bullying other nations to do the same to prop up the US dollar. They are doing this to protect the investment portfolios of upper income americans. But by intervening as they are, they sandbag businesses inside america that have staked their strategy on producing inside of america. If the dollar is artificially high and kept artificially high over long periods of time by this type of intervention, then american businesses that produce inside of america won't be able to compete in a global marketplace. Then we will be told that we can't compete because we are fat lazy americans.
The american elite is drunk with power, they have an unwise intolerance for sensible tariffs that can protect the american productive capacity. But then they intervene into the currency markets, going directly against their stated loyalty to capitalist ideology. In both cases the result is to degrade american capacity to produce in order to protect the interests of the upper class.
They seek to hold it all together by their exercise of raw power over the world's banking industry. It is a dangerous path.
Now what, the guillotines ?
The arrogant won't stop until the entire house of cards collapses.
Certainly is...they're playing with the laws of how things function. Have you noticed? Whether it's AMTRAK, or interest rates on CDs, or how business should run, or the economy (it's our job to keep on spending) or the jobs available to American workers, or the people who come here (legally or illegally), it's all about them not us.
I'd like to see it turn around...what rights do little folk have for honest balance sheets, and their jobs not going overseas or to lower paid immigrants, and the battles the government chooses. It's not about whether or not these people go to jail (I don't care); it's about honesty and ethics and fairness for the sake of the other 95% of the population.
They always, (on both sides of the aisle) ridicule anyone who might care about ordinary people. That's how they keep their place...convince us that anyone who disagrees is foolish or deranged. And you know what? The American voter accepts that...so far.
