At 1:00, he says it was "necessary for economic management," but led to over-investment in finance. Similar to Obama saying the state has a "monopoly on violence.

That means he knows what's wrong.

In his eight years as president was there any effort to correct it?

My guess is he wanted to live. I'm sure he was well aware what happened to JFK when he went against the banking mob.

Arrgh. :mad:

Very frustrating.

These sluts, like BC, know what the hell they are doing, it slips out from time to time, like this remark.

And yet there are still some people who dismiss what government does as "bumbling, uneducated, unaware stupidity".

Bullshit.

THE JFK MYTH
Was he assassinated because he opposed the Fed?

I guess it's not a full-blown Freudian slip since he was so quick to dispense the half-assed caveat that "it was necessary for economic management", but it's still pretty revealing coming from somebody like him.
