We are all pawns in a larger game that we dont get to play.

I bought 4 ujoints for a 4wd truck. SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS EACH AND ALL WERE A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER. THAT IS BEYOND INSANE. ALL INVOLVED SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The government doesn't print money. They are supposed to. It is a mandate the founders put in the congressional responsibilities. But Woodrow Wilson handed that responsibility over to the Federal Reserve, who is neither a Federal agency, nor a bank, on December 23rd 1913, after Congress had adjourned for Christmas. This is why we have deficits and inflation. Every since then, the government is borrowing our money supply from them.

Who owns the Federal Reserve...private entities.

Sticking with the inflation theme...bought a GFI outlet this week to replace a non-functional unit on my porch. $30. I used to buy a box of these for $30. Guess I'm just starting down the old man path.
