A reasonable summary of our current situation from James Quinn:

“The banking system is insolvent. The consumer is dead. The housing market is still crashing. Unemployment is going up. Consumer confidence is going down. The 6 criminal mega-banks were the ONLY banks out of 986 in the US to “make money” last year. The mega-criminal banks are all reporting fake profits this week. The SEC slapped Goldman Sachs on the wrist for blatant fraud. Obama is instigating a race war with his diatribes against the Tea Party and Arizona. We still fight two wars of choice in the Middle East while gearing up for war with Iran.”
