All you paranoid fools are victims of the real plan anyway. do you think that any real conspiracy would ever make it to the internet or youtube? Goodness, too many of us are so gullible because we want to believe in everything but reality. Its not a complex situation: the rich are looking out for the rich and this is all the current administration is about. it is about oil and money- all that other conspiracy stuff is nonsense, put out there to fog your minds. Its one thing to not believe the government, but it is another thing to believe a schizo because of your disappointment in the government.

Another STAY THE COURSE strategy for the Bush Administration. Here''s Bush "The G-20 meeting was SUCCESS (heha)"

Instead of having the guts to tell British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to "take a hike" you take his advice and believe that the ''global financial system'' can be brought back to life.....IT CAN''T!!!!!!!

Now in unprecedented cowardly fashion, you wish to use the ''bail-out'' money to buy you time to pass off the crisis to the next administration which by that time will be far far worse.

With the exception of junkyard dogs like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, even Republicans say "YOU ARE THE WORSE PRESIDENT IN MODERN DAY HISTORY"!!!!!

YOU SIR, CAN''T LEAVE SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

Details??? Shhhhhhh! You''re gonna blow it for the leaders! They don''t want us to know the details, or that there weren''t any details. They want us to think they actually did something at this summit, that they actually have some power over economic events.

You media people! You stop prying into irrelevant things like details and start supporting the economic heirarchy. Stop asking difficult questions and be silent when the corporatocracy speaks. Hush! Stay the course!

"Summit Heavy On Promises, Light On Details". What would you expect from the NO SUBSTANCE president? He''s just an empty suit. The world is waiting for President Obama to come along and fix things.

The crisis was caused because the fed printed too much money, kept interest rates too low too long, and got people to take on too much debt. They were wrong, but in fairness let us remember that the fed is constantly being pressured to lower interest rates and keep them low by every powerful group in this country: the National Association of Manufacturers, the unions, the car dealers, the real estate lobby, the home builders, the construction firms, the members of congress, and on and on and on. We are not going to have a stable economy until people learn that lower interest rates are not always a good idea.

All of these guys, Bush included, live a fantastic rich lifestyle filled with limos, mansions, servants, unlimitted credit cards, etc, etc. There is simply no way they can relate to someone with a wife, four kids and barely making it paycheck to paycheck. No way at all.

The plan calls for the creation of "supervisory colleges" of financial regulators from many nations to better detect risky investing and other potential problems.

So does this mean China won''t loan America any more money?

Who says we have to pay any taxes any time to a world government so they can tell you how what and where and when to do practically everything as they see fit
"ENOUGH"

Leaders only "promise" reform, nothing meaningful will ever occur. The same bankers and multinational corporations in charge of the money before are still in charge of the money. Sure they want to prevent future fiancial meltdowns, but they won''t do anything to benefit anyone but themselves. They are the staus quo.

The Roots of this economic Crisis are deep-- Going back to deficit spending after we got off the Gold standard. However-- There is plenty of Money available -- If we compartmentalize programs and run them efficiently -- Currently it is Incompetent governmental oversight which allows the programs such as defense, medicaid medicare, and on and on-- to waste Trillions-- We currently pay more of our GDP than any country on earth for health programs-- But are the only major industrialized Society to not cover our citizenry properly. I say -streamline and combine programs--Get rid of Red tape and Pork --Simplify the Tax structure -- and Appoint a Comptroller General to oversee their spending--- The Gov''t is mired in waste -- Overlapping services and Incompetency---Line Item veto would be a good place to start-- Ban all Lobbying and give us a simplified Tax base that is added on at the Wholesale level instead of a million small taxes and loopholes. A place to start anyway
