We were printing more money to pay off debts with all of these other countries, which is why the value of the dollar was going so low. Now, we have to print money to bail out these pork-barrel spending industries. The threat of inflation has been around for 2 years or so and instead of the Fed curing the disease, it's trying to treat the symptoms.

inflation has been around as long as theres been a fed. much longer than 2 years, i think the fed started in 1913.

the fed isnt trying to help anything, its simply making it worse. politicians shouldnt be in control of money, and the federal reserve gives politicians a ton of leeway

world war two got us out of the great depression, not the new deal.

 

the fed CREATES economic downturn through inflation and many other means that just goes on and on. If people cant hold banks r esponsible for giving what is essentially counterfiet money, what do you expect to happen? a great depression was inevitable.

You know why the Fed causes inflation? Because it has to bail out those losers on Wall Street.

If not for the Federal Reserve, we'd probably be a province of China by now.

not true in the slightest. the reason the federal reserve was created was so banks could give people cash(that was made with no value backing it, thus devaluing our money) when they withdrew even though the banks had nothing.

If anything out banking system would be stronger without the fed, because it would force integrity 

essentially every economic problem we have can be attributed to the government, and its quasi-governmental organization known as the federal reserve. if im not mistaken, its not entirely private.

theres a 4 minute video that will educate you why we have the federal reserve, from someone who isnt attacking it.

It seems like most fighting series are coming to an end. Dead or alive is done for. Soul calibur 4 did seem like the last one according to alot of the charaters endings. Mortal Kombat is going to end. Armeageddeon was the last one right? Besides the new VS DC universe. But again besides the VS dc universe the story pretty much already ended. Tekken might be like the only one holding in there. Though i dont think it will last forever. Games do need to end. I mean how many tournaments can those fighters participate in. You would think they would move on with there lives. But... there is street fighter 4. But for some reason im not to hyped about it. Whats going to happen to those epic titles? Starting a new fighting game may be a little scary. What do you guys think? Do you think they will get revived? Also, if you have nothing nice to say and feel like being rude. Please dont post anything :D

mk isnt ending, armageddon was the end of many of the story lines that went on for a while. ed boon has stated this many times
