Some interesting historical perspective from the 1800's...

Also from scifiworld:
1828 ... we've been here before....After 12 years during which the Second Bank of the United States,
ruthlessly manipulated the American economy to the detriment of the
people but to the benefit of their own money grabbing ends, the
American people had not surprisingly had enough, and opponents of
this bank nominated Senator Andrew Jackson of Tennessee to run for
President.
To the dismay of the Rothschilds’, Jackson wins the Presidency and
makes it quite clear he is going to use his mandate to kill this bank at
his first opportunity. He starts out during his first term in office, rooting
out the bank’s many minions from government service. To illustrate
how deep this cancer was rooted in government, in order to achieve
this end he had to fire 2,000 of the 11,000 employees of the Federal
Government.
