The goal has always been, regardless of which party is in power, to get them to use their policies to centralize power in Washington

Neither party caused the bubbles. That was caused by easy money policies from the private corporation called the Federal Reserve. Without the easy money, the policies of BOTH parties would not have created any bubble. This is 97 years of flawed economic and monetary theories being used by both parties to base policies on. Even good policies that were legislated to solve real needs, were disasters as far as the health of the nation goes.

While Congress (The House Ways and Means Committee) are the spending source, Presidents can veto the bills. Most of the time, there will not be enough support to overturn those vetoes. While Presidents can't cause the damage, they certainly can limit the damage. Presidents can beg, ... threaten and coerce the House to spend or pass legislation the President wants, but he can't force them to pass it.

During the 40 straight years the House and spending was controlled by Democrats and the 12 straight years the Republicans had control and now another 4 years of Democratic control, we gained no ground. Instead, every decade, we lost ground because they based their policies, good and bad, on flawed economic and monetary theories.

The goal has always been, regardless of which party is in power, to get them to use their policies to centralize power in Washington. The international banking cartel could care less whether the policies help or hurt the nation and people as long as power gets centralized where a crisis like this destroys the economy, dollar and our standard of living. Their belief is that destruction will cause us to willingly accept their goal of a global financial system and monetary system they control.

Everybody in America is part of a special interest group of some type and expects Washington to cater to them even if it is at the expense of other special interest groups. No wonder Independents are the largest voting block in America now. More and more people are fed up with both parties and their shortsightedness that has destroyed the nation over the last 80 years
