James Traficant is currently serving out an 8-year term in prison. He was convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his aides to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and on his houseboat in Washington, DC.

Consider your sources.

The Emergency Banking Act (also known as the Emergency Banking Relief Act) was an act of the United States Congress spearheaded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. It was passed on March 9, 1933. The act allowed a plan which would close down insolvent banks and reorganize and reopen those banks strong enough to survive.

On March 6, 1933, the day after Roosevelt’s inauguration, he called a special session of congress which instituted a mandatory four-day bank holiday. This act provided for the re-opening of banks after federal inspectors had declared them to be financially secure.

Within 3 days of the act’s passage, 5,000 banks had passed inspection and were re-opened. Roughly two thirds of US banks quickly re-opened under this act, and faith in banking institutions was somewhat restored.

This act was a temporary solution to a major problem. The 1933 Banking Act passed later that year presented elements of a more permanent solution, including the formation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Supporting your government has really nothing to do with the financial situation of the country in this instance.

Lets face it what ssg ship said is correct. Welcome to life. There are more bankrupt countries in the world that many realize.

Supporting your government depends on whether you feel it is doing enough for what the countries needs are. Then you can decide if you want to support them or not. On top of that as we live in a democratic society it is majority rules anyway. So perhaps you vote may not even get the results you are looking for.

Sorry, that’s reality.
