W artykule pt. "gra skonczona - odbicia nie bedzie" pada taki interesujacy cytat:
"(...) In times past, bankruptcy would have wiped out the bad debts. The
problem with debt write-offs is that bad savings go by the boards too. But
today, the very wealthy hold most of the savings, so the government doesn't
want to have them take a loss. It would rather wipe out pensioners, consumers,
workers, industrial companies and foreign investors. So debts will be kept on
the books and the economy will slowly be strangled by debt deflation."
Mowiac krotko - rzad zabierze pieniadze emerytom, konsumentom, pracownikom,
firmom produkcyjnym i zagranicznym inwestorom aby tylko nie zrobic krzywdy
bogatym. [czytaj lokalnym neokonserwatywnym imperialistom, he he he]
Wyglada na to, ze elity doskonale zdaja sobie sprawe ze stanu spraw.
Dodatkowej pikanterii dodaje ostatnia afera zwiazana z preferencyjnymi
kredytami CFC dla czlonkow kongresu i pakietem pomocowym dla zadluzonych
wlascicieli domow napisanym podobno przez tandem specjalistow Bank Of America
i CFC. Nie ma jak ustawy pisane przez zainteresowane lobby, nie? He he he.
Dalej:
"The US can't reduce the balance-of-payments deficit without scaling back its
foreign military spending. Congress is refusing to let foreign governments
invest in much besides overpriced junk here, so central banks are treating the
dollar like a hot potato, trying to buy foreign assets that can play a role in
their own future economic development.(...)
