BUT BUT BUT! DIDN'T YOU HEAR???

Hussein-AdHominem-AdHominem is using a fake driver's license to straw purchase all of our guns through eminent domain, and then will give them to the Muslims to convert everyone's fetuses into militant black Christian radicals!

Anyhow... on the plus side, if the US dollar keeps dropping in value, we won't need banks, and we'll be able to use our dollar bills to feed our furnaces in the winter, negating the implications of both troubling stories you mentioned.

More news hot off the presses and more crap the election furor kept hidden until now

Remember that $700 billion bailout they passed?

Remember how the FED was to report who got what and how much?

Well think again kids.

How about 2 TRILLION lent out!

How about they refuse to say who got the money and what collateral they got in return!
