Money (Part 1)

[glorymanu]

Okay, I tried to explain this to Samma tonight. She was very polite, but I don't think I was clear. Let me try again. I'm going to write this in parts because it actually makes me physically angry, and I can't write for long lest my brain explode

So the US is scared shitless of recession/depression, and so they threw money at those responsible for this problem; a problem that was caused by assuming that poor people should spend beyond their means... And there's nothing the general populace can do about it.

Thanks for posting this - I had a general idea of what was going on, but you put it much more eloquently than I ever could.

One thing that gets me: they privatized the printing of money? I know they like to privatize anything they can get their hands on, but that's insane.
