The real problem here is the idiots who are building toll roads where hardly anyone use them and get corporations to bail 'em out.

[kingmob]

thats the plan...they are pushing private FOREIGN companies to buy the roads....they change laws to allow it....this is fascism

[Jeff Olsen]

No, it's not. (http://forum.sportsmogul.com/showpost.php?p=571267&postcount=6) Stop trying to invent new definitions for words.

[kingmob]

fascism is when corporations run shi t and the govt. backs them up! fascism isnt stormtroopers marching around like thugs.....it is corporatism.....when the govt. changes laws to allow foreign corps. to buy tax payer built roads and then uses the cops to ticket and regulate it ....THEN THAT IS FRIGGIN FASCISM!

[Jeff Olsen]

fascism is when corporations run shi t and the govt. backs them up!You're still confusing business corporations with government corporations. Business corporations have nothing to do with Corporatism (nor Fascism) except that both words are derived from the Latin word for body, corpus. (http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/corporatism.htm)
when the govt. changes laws to allow foreign corps. to buy tax payer built roadsYou are aware that they aren't really buying them, yes? And that none of these roads were 100% taxpayer-built?
and then uses the cops to ticket and regulate itWith their respective departments being reimbursed.

lol the usa is classified as a corp. ....leasing them 99 years??? semantics.....

reimbursed? by who?

[Jeff Olsen]

lol the usa is classified as a corp.Not since 1945.
leasing them 99 years??? semantics.Hardly. The British did the same thing with Hong Kong.
reimbursed? by who?The lessee. Who do you think?

[kingmob]

Not since 1945.

so this country isnt a corp. anymore?.....lol....we've been in receivership since 1933....

[Jeff Olsen]

New Deal United States 1933-1945 Franklin Roosevelt

I don't see anything after that. Do you?
we've been in receivership since 1933....There you go trying to invent new definitions again. If we're in receivership, who's the receiver? Who, if anyone, is trying to repay the debt?

[kingmob]

the receiver is those abroad who hold our federal reserve notes.....why do you think we are selling our infrastructure....

[Jeff Olsen]

the receiver is those abroad who hold our federal reserve notesThat's not a receiver. A receiver would be a person or organization appointed by the lender(s) for the express purpose of paying off that debt. Giving 99-year leases on infrastructure does diddlysquat for the national debt.

Now, if they start selling naming rights for the White House and Capitol Hill...or the buildings themselves, for that matter...

[kingmob]

you dont get it....those foreign entities holding frn's are holding debt....what do you think frn's are? ...they are created with debt....they are debt....answer me this....if everyone in this country had 0 debt ....what would that do too the monetary supply?

[williethebasset]

Nothing.

My dad and stepmom don't have any debt, and seem to be getting along fine.

[kingmob]

Nothing.

My dad and stepmom don't have any debt, and seem to be getting along fine.

i said everyone.....if noone..... 100% of everybody had 0 debt what would happen to the money supply?

[williethebasset]

As I said before, nothing.

[kingmob]

As I said before, nothing.

right because there would be no money cuz all frn's are based on debt....that $20 in your pocket was borrowed by someone

[robinhoodnik]

I'll tell you what one person is worth who has 0 debt. 0. You are worthless without any accumulated debt or record of being in debt.

[Jeff Olsen]

you dont get itI'm not the one going around trying to invent new definitions for stuff. That's another reason I won't go on your show: if something doesn't fit your reality tunnel, you invent a new definition for it!
those foreign entities holding frn's are holding debtYou're confusing FRNs with treasury securities (e.g.: savings bonds). Treasury securites are directly related to the national debt, FRNs are not. FRNs can be converted to whatever the local currency is, and vice versa. Consider this: if FRNs really were tied to our national debt, why hasn't some some Islamic radical pooled a bunch of Riyals, converted them to FRNs, and wiped out our federal reserve?

[kingmob]

no self respecting arab would convert there gold backed currencys for our fiat currency backed by nothing.....arabs dont believe in usury....thats why there money is worth a **** of a lot more than ours.....and that why the banksters hate the arabs is becuase they dont believe in usury

[williethebasset]

Or it's because their money is tied to the price of oil....

[williethebasset]

I don't carry cash, but I do have about 2 grand in my bank account, all of which was paid to me by my employer, which is a town, which got it's money from property taxes.

[Jeff Olsen]

no self respecting arab would convert there gold backed currencys for our fiat currency backed by nothingI said "Islamic radical", not "Arab". Islamic radicals would love to crash our economy!
arabs dont believe in usuryThey don't believe in charging interest? (http://www.dawn.com/2005/03/27/ebr16.htm)
