“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” —Thomas Jefferson (1816)

Were on the same path as Greece, but with 32 times the amount of debt! With federal spending at record levels, not to mention as a percentage of GDP, without radical change we cannot provide an environment to make sane ratios of spend-to-GDP, taxes-to-GDP, deficit-to-GDP, and debt to GDP. This has been going on for 100 years without “informed knowledge” of the American people. Understanding of the analysis of threats to the budget by the majority won’t come until the dollar is worth pennies. Today with the abundance of information available to citizens it’s easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt for anyone that wants to know. A way out will have to include making an education real for the people, the one that should have stemmed from the Pledge to America the GOP made to the American people after the 2010 midterms. This aging democratic republic is crying for us to change our ways before she dies.
