I would avoid calling the recent activity a bailout, Wall Street is being forced into regulation and they have access to federal funds. They have access to the same funds as any bank and they have to operate as any bank.

I believe that technology changed things what was free market forces has become forces that can be to some extent be controlled. Which is not a bad thing unless it is done from behind a curtain or if the money all goes to one place or to just few people.

Consider that Goldman Sach owns the rights to natural gas from the well head, there is nothing in their interest other than higher prices. That gas used to be owned by East Ohio Gas which was bought up by Dominion. Dominion also makes electricity and in the summer they buy the gas to generate electricity it’s a cheap way to meet the peaks in summer. They do not want to supply gas they just want to transport it and that charge is a variable higher prices more money…no incentive to drill in this. Goldman says go ahead and eat up the summer storage, then when winter comes we can sell it for a higher price.

Who ever thinks that the more people that touch something the better it is for the economy is now questioning the logic, why some things where regulated and why some things are not.

Change is not always for the best.

Alternatives, buy the car that has the best fuel economy, make you home more energy efficient make your life style more efficient. If you say they need to do something, they will and it will not be for you…it will be for them.

It’s all about the meeting of income and the market price, they love the stuff that really has no alternative, that’s your part, find the best alternative.

These intuitions reflect the risk that exist in so many individuals, the government should and is regulating them and they will in turn regulate you, the ratios have to be real and so does your value.

If you make reference to a Bill# then you should detail and link to the actual Bill, too much misrepresentation of legislation is happening too often.

EDITOR: TruthBeTold – Not sure what you thought you were sharing but I removed the link after browsing the racist posts at that site. I don’t know the individual involved in the blog but it sounds like you might so I imagine you’d be better advised to talk to the person, not me.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.

This whole green movement is a very dangerous agenda and thousands upon thousands of scientists all over the world do not believe in global warming. A carbon tax on all life should send a chill up your spine. Too many jobs are dependent on this movement, it’s a whole new “pseudo” industry, only the power brokers will be making money on it, not us.

I agree 100% with renewable energy and ending our dependence on oil. But the fact is we have the technology to end it yesterday. Electric cars, hydro technology but the industries that need our dependence also pay for politicians like McCain and Obama to run for office.

Support of these candidates is doing exactly the opposite of stopping our dependence and moving us toward a greener America. It’s a political power grab in the name of the environment.

This green movement is plank seven in the Communist Manifesto. I’m amazed semi intelligent people buy in, but maybe that’s the point, they are not.
