Demographers predict that by 2050 approx. 50% of the US population will be black or hispanic. Statistically, the High School drop-out rate for these populations is approx. 50%. Thus, the end of the all-white rule of the good ol' USA. How many Wendy's employees and landscapers can the US economy support?

It don't matter to me cuz I'll be dead! I'm just sittin' here sucking on my entitlement bennies and driving cab, for cash, part-time. Asta lavista baby!

I just came to this site a week ago - liked what I saw and even donated! Last night I posted for the second time and got slammed! The first time I didn't get any REAL answers to my query.

So, I apparently didn't play by "The Rules" and was hit by snob intellectualism. Don't some of you have any compassion? You folks are just as bad as the neocons. I've hardly ever played by the rules.

I think I'll look for another site and withdraw my support. I was looking for "community, open-mindedness and illumination", but this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth..

The Obama Deception is a rather right-wing conspiracy video about how the International Bankers and how they've infiltrated the White House, etc. The bankers are called the Bildenberg group and are striving for world dominance. I was tempted to believe half of it. Then, towards the end, it took a hard right and turned me off.

Tonight, I watched Inside Job and parts of it reminded me of Obama Deception. Like, all the same cabinet appointees are the same crooks who were in the '08 Financial Meltdown are in Obama's same administration today. What a sham!

Check 'em both out.

A few weeks ago I read an article(Huffpo) about a GAO 2011 audit of the Fed that the REAL bailout was $27 trillion. The article was by Alan Grayson, a progressive from Florida. It didn't get much media attention.

I did a Google for "2011 GAO audit of Fed Reserve" and there were reports of $17 trillion bailout.

The other day I ran across an article about $1.7 trillion bailout in the mainstream media vs. TARP bailout of $800 billion.

All I know is the banks made out big on these bailouts.

Can anyone illuminate me on the Fed, the conflicting numbers and the lack of media attention? Bob
