Prime the Pump

DATELINE: November 4, 2010:
Prime the Pump

The system is broken, and the public don't trust the politicians no more, so how do we fix it?
The following quote taken from the day after the 2010 election, pretty well sums things up.

"Tuesday's votes were largely a referendum against Washington and the politics of the status quo. While the GOP benefited from widespread disillusion, voters remain just as unhappy with Republicans as they are with Democrats, telling exit-poll interviewers that they view both parties with almost equal disgust." - (skunks and polecats - BB)

Well I know how to fix a broken plow, and I know how to prime the pump when the water stops flowing, but fixing a broken economy, well that's another thing all together.
Or is it? Maybe all we need to do is prime the pump! For close to two years the Great National Bank has been giving all of the banks in the country money on loan for no interest.
This means those banks don't have to give you any money for your savings or retirement, that they hold in their bank. Which means your little peanut crop ain't growing, since it ain't getting no water. Meanwhile the bank's big soy bean plantation is getting plenty of water for free, and growing faster than kudzu.

So the water ain't flowing into your account no more, and your little peanut crop is getting smaller instead of bigger. Seems like all we got to do is prime the pump! Let the Great National Bank start charging the banks for water and maybe they will start paying you to use your water, and your little peanut crop can start to grow again!
If you don't understand how this works, then I have a homework assignment for you.
This holiday season take time to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". It pretty well explains the whole thing. Funny how they understood all of this more than fifty years ago!
(Maybe you should let your new Congressman in on this!)
