What's Really Going On With The Nations Financial Crisis?

The circumstances that have led to our current recession are the controlled by many of the same factors that led to The Great Depression in 1920's. The doctrine that our very government has worked very hard to maintain, the doctrine that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But when the top 1% controls too much of the money "critical mass" hits and a recession is right around the corner. When income inequalities in this country become too skewed, it prevents the system from working the way it was designed to and those at the bottom suffer. According Delaware Senator Bernie Sanders "the top 1% own more wealth in this country than the bottom 90%".

FDR's federal chairman who served during The Great Depression likened this sort of financial catastrophe to a poker game:

"As in a poker game where the chips were concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, the fellows could stay in the game only by borrowing. When their credit ran out, the game stopped."

Game Over? We hope not. But it's up to the people to put the necessary pressure on Washington to get turn this thing around before it gets worse.
