What about those people who are hiding money at home? What if the
currency is changed- didn't the US demand that silver certificates and
gold coins be turned in? Anyway- you are right and I was harsh and
hasty.// Doesn't our government own our debt ultimately rather than
the banks via laws and regulations. As far as I know Wall Street and
the banks are operating within granted privileges- taxes are set by
law- even the Congress could benefit from insider trades till their
recent bill. Anyway, the Greek carpenter's story was sad and bleak. I
hope Greece defaults- I think- but does not rejoin the new Ottoman
Empire.//I wonder what I will do when the US collapses? Probably
hitchhike to one of my sons...//Yes- it does boil down to values and
morals- our modern world is psychotic.
