The ruling elite are in a crisis right now - brought on by their very own system of capitalism. What began several years ago during the housing boom as a way to make huge amounts of money through faulty sub-prime loans, has brought the whole system to the verge of collapse. As one investor stated in a recently uncovered email, “I hope we get out before this whole deck of cards comes tumbling down.“ And tumbling down is just what is happening - as more and more homes go belly up and the sub-prime loan crisis expands, more and more banks are losing money and some are going under. With more banks losing money and going broke, businesses and firms have less money to take out loans and do business. Rushing into save the system that screwed us is Bush himself, stating that the government is the only institution with the capacity to save the financial sector and get the economy back on track (you know, exploiting all of us, destroying the earth, and commodifying everything in sight). Thus, the government has been bailing out large banks and firms left and right, taking them over (nationalizing them) as it goes along. But as government bailouts of rich capitalists have grown, so has the anger by ordinary people as more and more Americans are welcomed into poverty’s fold. Feeling the heat, on Monday September 29th, the House of Representatives voted down the government’s plan to bailout Wall Street and give them a free ride for screwing us all over. However, Congress eventually passed the bill and Bush signed it into effect - is anyone really surprised? But the crises is far from over and repression is already rising against those who would dream against the ongoing cycle of poverty, wage slavery, depression, and recession. Offering up a short analysis of the present crisis was Crimethinc and the Center for Strategic Anarchy (an online blog), which wrote:

but but... it only makes SENSE to bail out the large corporations and banks and businesses, because like they say themselves, without them there wont be anyone generating money and more business to help the failing economy... ROFL so it goes, round and round, the rich get all the breaks, the poor keep slaving away, in short. However, if you DIDNT bail out wall street and all the financial giants, ordinary people that no one is looking out after are still getting hit from losing all assets/accounts/etc that those businesses managed... maybe this problem stems from the fact that the american dollar is the first currency in the world to not be backed by gold? plus the wonders of capitalism... plus lazy fat uneducated spoiled citizens... = EPIC FAIL, lol...

Welcome to the 1960's...the 1970's...the 1980's...the 1990's...and the REAL WORLD!

Reality can really suck at times. rofl

Sorry to report, I don't derive my impressions from *online* blogs.

Although the Magic Eight Ball may come in handy for this upcoming election. I think MY "8 ball" is saying: REPLY HAZY, Try again later.

No wait, I think it actually said: "Outlook not so good". slaphead

Bush got in by cheating the legal system now goes out with a golden handshake. Nice for him. Disaster for you and me; my friends. Its not enough we pay for it ,our children enslaved too.

Too often I am tempted to take the route of the corruption, to get out of the rut, but at the end can't bring myself to doing it. I blame my upbringing
