More power to the Federal Reserve. Yeah, they're the good guys in this

Well, unless a Republican is in the WH. Then the Federal Reserve is bad. Booo!!!

Wow, obviously you need to read up on what started this economic correction.

We need more government. Americans in general are too stupid to figure things out for ourselves. Just this morning as I started to make breakfast I couldn't decide between oatmeal or scrambled eggs. If the government just supplied us with a daily menu I would have known what to do. Instead I made both.

We, as arrogant Americans shouldn't have to make such difficult decisions. We need our central government to step up and help us make such ordinary and mundane decisions. Why should we have to decide anything??

Notice no talk of bringing back all those laws and regulations that got modified or repealed the past several years ? That would bring the regulation they seek back.

Instead they are leaving the bad laws in place and handing control over to the banksters

Why is it government can never do the obvious but can pile heaps of more rules around the broken ones ?

Yes, while doing toilet this morning, I did not know whether to clean up using my right hand or left hand. Where are the regulations on this? There needs to be a Citizen's Manual.

I think you're supposed to use your left hand in order not to offend the oppressed left handed minority in the world.

Man, I wish a bunch of poor minorities brought down the economic system and bankrupted a bunch of rich elites, but that is, sadly, not the case.
