Something sinsiter is going on, I cant place a thought on it, here are the pieces:

  • Why was there an economic downturn in the last year of Bush's presidency?
  • Why, in the USA at least was about $840Billion approved under certain conditions, ie the only condition being ' no questions asked'
  • Why isnt there an outcry?
  • If Bush believed in an economic free market, then if this was a real market downturn then why did he intervene, a free marketeer would have let it die and from those ashes another model would take its place, whilst lessons learnt would inform the new model. Instead he bailed out banks on the pre-condition that they would help the poor and newly homeless.
  • why arent we seeing the poor and newly homeless on TV?
  • Why has every single country followed suit with a bailout plan?
  • If the market responds only to innuendo and rumour, why does the mainstream media play ball with the this Bailout or budget deficit scenario.
  • A man who is half dead runs against a virile 47 y.o. for the US presidency...its a no brainer
  • is obama the pied-piper? whats the plan?
  • When will Russia make her move?
  • Is the US bankrupt (not only morally, financially?)

There is more, I have answers but I dont have a narrative.
