We lose @ half a million jobs a WEEK. This has been going on for months. These people are now dependent. Half the population was already dependent before the crash.
Our economy is in a downward spiral with no end in sight. Washington needs money - fast - all it can get. They've gained access to every workers private bank accounts through the Death Care bill. They're talking about forcing all those who earn a wage to get a national, biometric, ID card. They MUST know who has money, because they want it. They need it. They're struggling to survive.
If they were to admit it publically, there would be panic in the streets.

Great points!

As far as panic in the streets goes, I’d substitute the words ‘massive deaths’ for ‘panic’.
