Yes and also they study their opposition's tactics so we have to be creative. The private control of the creation and allocation of money is what we are up against, and that is what needs to change for us to address the rest of the issues. Since privately created money controls public policy we need to change the system to publicly created money in order to fund things like UBI without incurring more debt and the associated interest payments now as high as the military budget. The money opposes any and all legislation that improves the people's economy. The legislation (miraculously) was written and introduced in 2011, that would change the money system putting the public back into public policy. monetaryalliance.org
