<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 2209599, member: 30574&quot;]Well, let&#039;s start off with what I agree with here.&nbsp; This is a &quot;pay for it&quot; republic, and I don&#039;t&nbsp; like it either.&nbsp; It may be worse today, but in fairness, that has always existed.&nbsp; It is just how life works.&nbsp; The quote, &quot;He who has the Gold, makes the rules&quot;&nbsp; comes to mind.&nbsp; Always has been, and always will be true.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I also agree that &quot;Big Buisness&quot; is always trying to gain an edge by &quot;donating&quot; money to anyone that may be able to help them out.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now with that said, when I look at the FED, I honestly don&#039;t feel they were bought and paid for.&nbsp; The reason is simple. If I were in their position, I probably would have done the exact same thing.&nbsp; In addition the results were very real and positive.&nbsp; While some folks do feel, it would have better to just let it crash and EVENTUALLY rebuild, I do not, and the majority of Americans do feel the same as I do.&nbsp; So in this case, I think the decsions WERE in line with the general public.&nbsp; I think most Americans would rather have things better now, and acknowledge there is some risk, then just let it all go down the tubes</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, my question would be, what exactly do the stackers blame the FED for????&nbsp; I mean people can say, it is not substainable, it is all propped up, or whatever, but none of that is proven.&nbsp; Time can only tell.&nbsp; The facts right now are, people are better off, many more have jobs, they are buying more goods and enjoying life more.&nbsp; Please note, that I did not say, things are great, they are not, I am only saying better, and that is undeniable. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;So are the stackers mad that things are better, I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; From the tones of the post, talking with then directly, (BTW, there is a whole contingency of stackers were I work, and believe it of not, they don&#039;t hate me.) my conclusion is they are mad becasue if the FED let it collapse they feel they&nbsp; would be sitting pretty with their stack.&nbsp; Folks have told me that directly to my face. That is what makes the most sense.&nbsp; It is not just Big Buisness that has a monopoly with Greed, many stackers (and others) have the same affliction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, that is the way I see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
