Trillions! What for? And not a single one of those economic terrorists has paid despite our trillion-dollar NSA to protect us from evil-doers. The terror profit train seems to be working two ways but we can't get a seat on either train. One's for the bankers, the others for the elite. Where are we? Back in the caboose shovelling coal? "You know the drill, back to the caboose To shovel coal until you decide which path to choose"
