Comments on: Americans Abroad ‘Banking Under the Mattress’ https://barelyablog.com/americans-abroad-banking-under-the-mattress/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: George Pal https://barelyablog.com/americans-abroad-banking-under-the-mattress/comment-page-1/#comment-22833 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:25:59 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=51117#comment-22833 No action may be thought to cause a reaction. Laws created in a vacuum will work in an atmosphere. Human nature is not recognized as existing until it is demonstrated. All of which leads me to believe evolution is not a one-way trip.

Going after every dollar here or overseas is a natural outgrowth of an Authoritarian Culture. No doubt, the Republicans will claim that all the ill effects are the fault of Obama The Space Alien but keep in mind all the garbage like Sarbanes Oxley and McCain Feingold passed under Bush. EACH “SIDE” gleefully blames the other for the “abuses” of the system yet the Wars, the SWAT team invasions, the TSA gropes continue and increase year after year.

I’m glad to be old enough that I can probably live my declining years in the US but I have no idea what my kid can do. Overseas it is as bad or worse in many aspects…. – but with banks being corrupted outlets of the Welfare State, we may all be returning to home schooling, backyard vegetables, canned food, gold coins under the mattress, and guns.

I forget who coined some term “totalitarian anarchy” but this seems to be the direction we are moving into.
