Hey Steem citizens,
Sure I can call out small actors for scams, and I certainly will in the future, but why mess around? Let's call out one of the biggest scams of them all:
The United States Government
A large chinese credit rating agency, Dagong Global Credit Rating Co, has recently downgraded the US government rating to +BBB
I'll do them one better:
United States Government: credit rating: F-
This organization is incredibly deep in debt, which grows every day:

600 billion was added in just a few months.
This scam organization extorts billions of dollars from millions of people every year with taxes, which are collected at the threat of violence. Much of this money is used to perpetuate wars and commit various atrocities around the world, to maintain its global empire.
The currency promoted by the US government is the US Dollar (USD). This is a scam coin, one of the worst shitcoins imaginable (even worse than bitconnect). The USD is a largely digital currency, but without a proper blockchain, rather it's just strung together with a poorly designed, ad-hoc network, subject to arbitrary inflation which benefits the Powers That Be.
The USD is not backed by anything valuable, President Nixon closed the gold window in 1972.
There are signs that an exit scam may be approaching. The US government is no longer able to pay its bills, each month for the past four months, it has had to issue a short term continuing resolution to pay the bills, and even this effort has failed last friday, as the US government is entering a shutdown. A shameful display really.

To try to list all the sins of this corrupt organization would take a library full of books, and I won't attempt it here.
The Bank of Neoxian advises that you avoid doing business with the US government if you can. Sadly, many are forced to at gunpoint.
