U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin announced Friday the federal government will give the city nearly $1.9 million to hire 15 police officers.

The irony is not lost on me.

Federal revenue collectors. 15 officers can write a lot of tickets. Wonder if those proceeds will be funneled back to the fed..

The feds give the money, the tickets go to the county the tickets were written in. What's in it for the feds?

[Spectrism]

Federal money going to all these individual cities is not constitiutional. Detroit getting bailed out. Chicago getting free money. This is how they will keep the fake system running. They will continue to bleed those that have and give to those that have not. The friends of the regime will get fat.

I don't know, that's what I'm wondering. We are entering a new ballgame when the feds start funding local police depts. Like Spec said, it's unconstitutional. Almost like there might be some hidden bribery or promises that nobody knows about. It stinks, and doesn't sit right with me.

Any fines are paid in FRNs...duh.

FRNs are not what this is about.

FRNs are not what this is about.

You could not be more wrong. Stealing wealth/value/worth by issuing I.O.U. nothings and conning the entire populace to deal EXCLUSIVELY in FRNs/illusory 'money' is what ALL of this is about. The stealing of wealth via FRNs is at the very root of ALL our problems.

Name ONE 'employer' who pays his or her 'employees' in anything other than some form of Federal commercial paper.

See, this is how a perfectly good thread gets derailed. I'm not disagreeing with you, FRN's are one problem. In this thread, let's discuss another.

In regards to sworn officers, who receive funding at a FED level, not local county/city, opens a huge can of worms.

Do you think this furthers the police state a bit? Federally funded soldiers, policing at a local level?

It keeps the locals in control because they are accepting fed.gov frns.

Same idea behind the education system. You accept fed/state frns, you do their bidding.

The point is that the culture has morphed so far from what the framers envisioned and set forth in the CONstitution (which only bound the group of men who signed it and ratified it, limited to THAT generation) that the current state of affairs would be absolutely and completely unrecognizable to them, they would never be able to fathom what happened to what they set into motion, and indeed, how it got to where it is. Yeah, accept FED 'money' and FED benefits meted out from the District of Corruption, and the District therefore calls the shots. This country is so far gone that even those who consider themselves 'knowledgeable' regarding 'money' (in reality exchanges of value) cannot grasp what is going on with Federal commercial paper* - as seen in this very thread.

Osoab/Midnight, exactly...

slippery slope we are on. Nothing good can come out of this.

A pig is worth according to how much meat is in them.....some pigs are really big......but is really bad meat so that they are worth nothing.
