- I love it, since notblu has nothing to say that factually negates my facts, he resorts to the typical right wing snot of calling people communist, anti-American, ignorant, etc.
In fact, I love this country more than anyone he or she knows which is why I am trying to save it. If they had spend as much time as me exposing the crimes of the plutocracy and the unholy alliance of government and industry. - Reply to this comment
- Just talked to someone this morning. He said the actual number out of work is 46 mil., don't know how right or wrong that # is. Then he went off describing an economic collapse........riots and chaos. Who knows?

- Our thinking is determined to some degree by the technology we use. We are users of internet devices in abundance. It is possible that the tightness we show in our thinking is being determined by the growing scarcity of internet protocol addresses.
It has just been reported that a new internet address protocol is being tested and will be introduced. This new system, IPv6, has significantly more supply of addresses.
It may well be that such technological innovations as this new IP system will loosen our economies up to perform in line with the rational expectations which we have for economic performance. - Reply to this comment
- Again, this is the end result of failed Republicon policies. Deregulation, privatization and free-trade policies have been a complete failure.
Of course it did not help the severe damage the Republicons did during the Bush Crime Family Reign of Terror. They let the corporations do so much damage we will likely NEVER recover.
Once you FUBAR stuff, it is very difficult to reverse. Like the environmental climate damage, good example. - Reply to this comment
- No country has EVER cuts its way to prosperity. The Republicons know this but don't care as long as they get theirs. That is how Republicons roll. Of course the REAL ENEMY are the giant corporations who have seized the government for profit.
As in most fascist countries like America, this will only get worse unless we unite (right and left) to fight the Class War. - Reply to this comment

- The housing prices have gone down MORE than in the '30s. There are almost the same amount of unemployed now (15-20% in reality). We might be WORSE off now because we have no manufacturing to get us out. And out debt, caused by Republicon policies (read Reaganomics), is through the roof.

- The United Corporate States of America have not fixed anything so of course we are going to get hit again. Worse than before.
We are in the Second Great Republicon Depression of the last 100 years. Furthermore there is a full on Class War where the Top 2% who own and run the government, are trying to finish the job of concentrating all the wealth at the top.
As in most fascist countries like America, along with this will come loss of freedom, wages and wealth for the poor and middle class and disastrous and deadly devastation of the environment. - Reply to this comment
- The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has updated a widely cited chart to show that Bush-era tax cuts to the rich and two ill-advised wars - not the economic downturn - are primarily responsible for the massive debt now driving Republicans to cut health, education, social services and every other remotely useful program
