| Last I looked, congress is part of the US government, and it is controlled by Republicans, as are the senate, executive and, increasingly, the judiciary. The Fed keeps unemployment up around 5.5% as much as possible by raising and lowering interest rates, it brokers loans from private banks to the f... |

| "The point is the Federal Reserve is more powerful than any President or any Congress. So the condition of the economy is neither to be credited to nor blamed on either one." Well now if that isn't a rediculous statement, I don't what what is. The fed and government together create the eco... |

| First, transfer payments are the fed's responsibility, healthcare is the domain of the provinces. It is the fed's responsibility to ensure the provinces play by the rules of the health act, it is the provinces' duty to ensure compliance with regulations by providers.

| Give some examples of his militaristic dicatorial character. What exactly is it that Chavez has done which you consider to be so bad? Per capita income fell 35% from 1970-1998, a 28 year slide thanks to the US backed neo-fascists that Chavez has beaten at the polls three times. Since then, PCI has b... |

| Militaristic dictator is it? Increased poverty? You really have no clue what Chavez is doing in Venezuela do you? You seem to be taking Bush's record and trying to graft it onto Chavez. Which countries did Chavez invade lately? While Bush was stripping American's of their rights, imprisoning people ... |

| Why do all these idiotic economists and business reporters always want to move goods across borders? Is there some sort of divine holiness attached to selling products out of the country? What good is building up a reserve of foriegn currency which is not legal tender in our own country? It just for... |

| I met two representatives from Chavez's government tonight. One person, Jacoby, from the national trade union (the new one, not the fascist one left over from the 4th republic days) and Malina from the National Student Union.

| Nice sentiment but using us as an example of a sane, peaceloving country isn't the best idea. At once time perhaps, your compliment would have been justified, nut today we are a country much like your own. We have our own patriot act, allowing government to "disappear" those it does not li... |

| This isn't the first time a "false flag" operation has been busted. Israel was caught planting bombs and trying to blame muslims in the Lavon Affair. Google that name and you'll find lots of information from both right and left wing sites. |
