This is truly Orwellian: the latest and greatest Executive Branch/Federal Reserve power grab is labeled "consumer protection." I am indebted to correspondent Jim S. who seems to be one of the few Americans to have actually sorted through this monstrosity and gleaned its true nature: an unprecedented extension of Executive (i.e. Imperial Presidency) and Federal Reserve power.

Obama will have much more flexibility if he wins a second term. Most Americans can't imagine living under a totalitarian, police state. They may soon find out.

It might not have been a bad article had they left out the shadow government bit. That just made the author sound crazy.

Best not to mix the verifiable and speculative.
