There Was a Chicken in Every Pot, But We Ate It

I do not know who said this, but it is an accurate assessment of our country’s situation. We have spent way, way too much over the last 30 years.

Gerald Celente has been making the rounds on the alternative economic programs I watch. I chose this one because he got less excited than in some of his other appearances. His basic point is that crime is crime, and the big bankers are criminals. My title for today's post is not entirely accurate. The bankers got the chicken and all we got was some weak broth.
