Morgan Stanley Says Government Defaults Inevitable - Bloomberg

 www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-25/morgan-stanley-s....html

How is this for transparency? Apparently, if we knew the truth, all would be lost from the Feds point of view. The grand manipulation would have to end if the American public were allowed to view the facts. http://chum.ly/n/2c9323

On the Way Down: The Erosion of America's Middle Class - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

 www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,7124....html

This article gets one thing wrong, it says that in America the free market is king. No, in America big government and big business are king.
