This time there is no bailout for working class Americans.

The people who caused it, wanted it to happen.

It will trigger the most egregious wealth transfer (to the oligarchs) in history, making them too big to fail…or jail.

Basically, if the President calls someone a "terrorist", on whatever highly creative grounds he wants, then the US military salutes and says, "yessir, they are a legitimate military target"? And Congress has nothing to do with it?
