Having a "truly" nationalized central bank would be the best thing that could ever happen to this country.

It's the private banking interests that are the problem here. Not the government. It appears to be the government, because the banking interests have figured out how to take over the government and use the government as a tool for their own special interests.

As far as newspapers, the idea is not that they be government owned, but that they receive tax breaks if they agree to become a 501c non-profit.

The problem I see with that is that non-profits are not allowed to have political opinions or be politically active, so clearly this puts any newspaper under the thumb of the government, who could then threaten to take way their tax exempt status and impose a tax burden that would destroy them, if the government percieves the paper to be political or unfair in anyway.

Very scary.

Personally, I think that any private entity should be allowed to fail. That includes newspapers, car companies and especially banks and financial institutions.

But instead, the burden of failure has been transfer to the tax payer and that was done at the behest of the bankers who hold all of the debt. Should all of these entities fail, it would be the bankers who lost in the end. Which is exactly as it should be.

But instead, the bill will be paid by all of us and our children for generations to come.
