    They certainly caused something to happen right before the last presidential election. They made a crisis to exploit they must have told Obama that unemployment would not go below 8%. I wonder why Obama was so confident that it wouldn't go below that percentage since he's never run an economy before.

    Yea, the Fed can force a recession. It's been done to curb inflation. I believe it was done in the 80s, for that very reason.

    What caused the inflation was the Vietnam War debt. War ends and GDP drops.

    So can you imagine what's coming when the two wars we're currently waging end? It's not gonna be fun.
