Save Our COLA

This blog will be devoted to exploring why cost-of-living allowances are necessary for working people, and why the world's largest financial institutions are trying to take them away from us.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..." Frederick Douglass

Interviewed By Jim Fetzer

Jim has been debunking government bunk for a long time. I was quite surprised when, after a relatively sparse correspondence, he asked me to be on his show. I was taken a bit unawares by his questions about anarchism, as he had suggested we talk about Ron Paul and this years litter of Republican presidential candidates. I wish I had done a better job fielding them. Nevertheless, it was a good conversation and I'm grateful to Jim for the opportunity. It was posted December 2nd, 2011, and can be found in the archives of Jim's blog. http://radiofetzer.blogspot.com/

Audio and video I recommend

That woman of international intrigue spills all of Wall Street's beans. Banks create inflation ( and hence the need for a COLA ) and the mysterious Smithy explains how the evil deed is done. All the broadcasts are interesting but the first deals specifically with what concerns us here.

Here's a link to Paul Grignon's brief but excellent history of banking, Money as Debt:

And here's the sequel, Money as Debt II:

If you want the whole sordid story, watch the Money Masters for a decidedly rightist interpretation:
