[amsat-bb] Re: A rose is a rose... is a rose

[Gregg Wonderly]

When these kinds of comments come up, I often wonder how many people actually 
understand how the US economy works.  I spend some time to put together some 
view points of how the FED is affecting what's happening and how the "basis of 
the FED" as a mechanism is not really working to manage the complexities of our 
economy.  There are things all over youtube.com which are records of senate and 
congressional committee sessions, historical videos, documentaries etc.  If you 
are not really sure how the FED works and what all the "troubles" of the economy 
in the U.S. and the world (because many countries chose to tie themselves to our 
currency system), visible my Google+ post that I've put up and look around at 
some of the videos I've linked to.

I don't mind betting that in a few years time your Politicians will be falling over themselves to vote billions of tax dollars to the Space program to prevent the US falling into 3rd place behind the Russian Federation and Beijing.
