		<description>It would be nice if politicians began to think a bit more systematically about money as the tool that runs the world and themselves. 

Austin Mitchell MP has tabled Early Day Motion 323 http://edm.ais.co.uk/weblink/html/motion.html/ref=323 which goes to the crux of
-- the State being less and less able to influence its own finances and the money of the Nation
-- the Nation's money being controlled by 'bank money' rather than 'State money'
-- voters and taxpayers being fooled by economists whose non-science is statistical nonsense rather than financial reality. 
Please do consider getting your MP to sign EDM 323 as a tiny step towards waking up to financial realities. 
Pensioners', students' and house buyers' realities are a consequence of compounding interest over time. </description>
