With all the financial troubles on Wall Street today it was pretty ironic to come across a silver certificate at random. Really makes you question what is the root of our economic problems. You can't put the blame in one place or on one thing. Is it the failure of the system, probably not, yet it is a warning sign that something isn't working properly and things need to be changed. Things must change and corporate bailouts is not the problem, the problem is that our money really doesn't mean anything anymore. When Congress just "comes up" with the number 700 billion dollars and is going to create this out of thin air to pay for people's poor investments, it just makes you wonder. Who is working for who, where is that money coming from? It is sometimes difficult to realize what seemed like simple changes over the years has perpetuated a system that solidifies those with power and ensures their well being. Maybe it is time not to help the special but help the average, the numbers just don't make sense any more.
If I had to point fingers, I think the photos speak for themselves, just look at the top. Federal Reserve Note. Where is the money coming from now? The Federal Reserve. Who is warning of all the trouble the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke. He knows more than he leads on, and if he doesn't he should. Our government should control the power to print money and should take it back from the businesses who have gotten us into the mess in the first place.
One thing that really stood out to me was the seal and the words on it, the texture was very interesting as well, I actually thought it was fake at first.
