In otha words, Richie, “spin alert.”

Th’ financial downturn cain’t be blamed ohn one party; it is th’ doins of money men n’ statists who belohng t’ both parties. ‘N-iss-here symbeeohsis between big gummint ‘n big money has been with us a lohng, lohng time. I personally believe that we will soon reap th’ dread result of this tomfoolery. Some of th’ Foundin’ Fathers ‘n certain figures in early American history warned us ’bout all iss, Jefferson even goin’ so fir as t’ say th’ followin:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

As t’ yir question ’bout who I wud rather see runnin’ th’ country, I simply cain’t see that th’ GOP is any better ohn th’ score than th’ Dems. Ol’ Joe Klein ‘xplains why:

One cud even argue-att it wuz the “Party of Lincoln” that set much of this in motion back durin’ the time-a strife that led t’ th’ War fir Southern Independence. The division between th’ largely agrarain South ‘n th’ industrial, finance-centered North was one-a thangs contributed to sed strife. ‘L, th’ North winnin’ that war (or at least that phase of it ) commenced to make a nation in its own image. Weren’t but a hop, skip n’ a jumb betwixt the events of 1865 ‘n those-att led t’ th’ creation of the Fed thar in 1913. ‘N th’ rest is financial histry.

You now know wut Jefferson believed. If’n ye thank he’s right, wut are yir thots ’bout nationalizin’ th’ Fed, just as Congriss did to Fannie Mae ‘n Freddy Mac? If *ye* agree that this’d be in th’ best inturst of American, do ye thank some politian like ol’ Juan Mequeno wud agree with ye?
