Word of the year? Re-Hypothecation

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Hypothecation my arse!

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent they conquered.”

?Thomas Jefferson

Oh... oh... please, may I... remove that worthless, uncomfortable-looking bit of paper for you dear miss?

P.S. If Jefferson were alive today... he'd be called a terrorist sympathiser, kidnapped, tortured and hidden away forever in Guantanamo Bay. Jefferson's vision of the USA is dead.

@Auntie Fa Phew! Thank God for that. I thought this panic might you know, really effect things.

@Voyvolod As long as he could get locked away with his female slaves I am sure he wouldn't mind. Was a randy old bugger that Jefferson ;)

That boy Jefferson, he had a thang fer the darkies. As Southern lore goes, them darkie women 'd gather all 'round a hemlock pine all naked 'n dancin' like angry baboons. They put the voodoo hex on Jefferson cuz they wanted mud babies. When them low-brow darkes sent thar eyes on a white man, thar weren't no turn'n back to the black ape, no nevermind how long his penis hung down. Tain't no match fer the white man's smart's 'n beauty.
