Let me state it bluntly, those that are part and parcel of the system and play in it cannot see the forest for the trees. Recessions are the result of a flawed economic / monetary system and are somewhat contrived. Although lack of "thrift" may play a small part it is not the main culprit.

Gambling
Making Money off of Money (usury)
Artificial Economy

To cut through the financial obfuscation jargon.

Derivatives - Bets
Hedge Funds - Borrowing money to Gamble
Credit Defaults Swap - Insurance on Bets

Reality - average citizens are being forced to cover the bets while the wealthy feel not much pain.

This is not the fault of the common producers and consumers.

Its time for a Revolution One Click Revolution
