All the Worlds a Stage at the First National Savings and Loan
All the world is a bank. The Federal Reserve Bank is the central bank of the United States. It is an independent privately owned bank. It is not an entity of the federal government. The word "federal" is deceiving. When the government needs money, by law it must go to the Federal Reserve. If the government borrows $100 billion it automatically owes a little more in interest to the Federal Reserve, which it must go to. No matter what the government does it can never pay off it's debt. It's the government. Every country on Earth has a central bank. So the worlds' debt can never be payed off. The only people with the real game are the bankers. Reducing the number of people or keeping population growth to a minimum is essential for the system to work. To build hospitals, roads, etc, etc money has to be borrowed. As debt is racked up the value of the currency goes down. The worlds first central bank was begun in 1694. The Bank of England. Most of the wars since then were waged to control inflation. A good movie to help understand is "Zeigeist II Addendum”. The movie can be seen on youtube.com.
Another problem with the economy is the mutual fund industry. These funds hold large amounts of stock sold on stock exchanges. This industry further concentrates the power. The more the power is concentrated the less it acts like a market. The number of companies offering mutual funds is around 10,000. Each has less than 100 funds. This makes the number of people who could control the market very small. In 2008 there were commercials on TV for NYSE Euronext. In these commercials they would say "one marketplace, infinite possibilities". It should have gone "one monopoly, no possibility". Most Americans retirement is in these funds. I believe the stage is set for a global "controlled" collapse of the economy. In 2008 NYSE Euronext was in the process of moving to Dubai.
An example of a fund is an index fund. The idea is to buy every stock on a particular index. If the whole index goes up the fund goes up. The S & P 500 is an index. Over long periods of time it has always increased. But if there isn't enough stock openly traded among individuals the idea stops working. I believe this is the case now.
