Government ‘misadventures’ and the current economic track…

The financial news wires report analyses every day which reveal the ‘cracks’ in the current economic track that our government has us on – and why continuing down this road is an exercise in futility.

One recent analysis sums things up well (and shows why we need an economic acceleration driver like The Leviticus 25 Plan’s direct credit extensions for American citizens):

Financial Blogger, Matt Taibbi (TAIBBLOG – May 8, 2012):

 1. Let banks inflate massive asset bubbles with the aid of cheap or even free government cash, and tons of leverage;

2. Before it all explodes, carve out gigantic sums for bonuses and compensation for the companies that inflated those bubbles;

3. After it explodes, get the various governments to bail those companies out;

4. Pay for it all by slashing services to what’s left of the middle class.

This is the model we used in America. We had a monster asset bubble based on phony mortgages, which Wall Street was allowed to inflate to spectacular dimensions with minimal reserve capital, huge amounts of leverage, and tons of fraud for good measure. When that bubble exploded, we first rescued the banks who inflated the thing in the first place…
