The Multi-billion dollar financial wheelers and dealers are so thoroughly in control of the U.S. government that a realistic financial policy from the government  is literally impossible.   For example, all of the economic advisors of the new President have huge conflicts of interest between their commitments to the financial industry and to the Federal Reserve ^**fb2  and their sworn duty to serve the public interest.

 As the system is presently set up, it's all about the super-wealthy keeping the working class people in debt and collecting interest on the debt.   

 In the last days of the Republican administration (November -December  2008) those in power positions are  doing all they can to set barriers against resolving the financial crisis.   They are doing so by deficit spending hundreds of billions of fiat/fake money to pay the debts of the financial industry, and by spending no money for the relief of the working class.   They are also doing so by instituting thousands of executive orders that are designed to aid the super-wealthy at the expense of the people and at the expense of the environment.  

 The environment is not taking the back seat.  It's not even in the car.   The fact that humans have turned on Nature's Doomsday Machine and the fact that we have about five years left to turn it back off  is being completely ignored.  **en1   

You may think this environmental warning is the ranting of a lunatic, but what if you are wrong?   Are you willing to bet the survival of your children, your grandchildren, and billions of other people on whose right and whose wrong? ^**mc1     Don't believe me.  Don't disbelieve me either.   Examine the evidence for yourself.   **en1
