Yet we have lost both Dems and Reps to corruption over the last seven years. This just proves that even those whom we expect to be incorruptible can be corrupted.
Think of the US economic system as a large credit card.
The Federal Reserve is Citi-bank and they issued the US Government a credit card. Whenever the US government needs money they just go the US Mint access their Citi-bank visa and withdraw 10 billion. This money comes from no where, it is literally just printed up on credit. The US Government then taxes us to pay the interest that this illusionary borrowed money incurs. We all know how much trouble a person can get into with credit cards, now image that problem on the grand scale of our Government and won't take a crystal ball to see how this is going to end.
