Granted, we are not yet seeing men wearing rags on their feet and children dying, but clearly it will come to that again, if they are successful and our country is bankrupt. And they will not care, because to them, it''''s not about us.

whitemale08: Certainly, you are not saying that the life expectancy in 1913 was 80 years.

The difference between then and now, by and large, is that when the Democrats assumed power and seemed to have ideas and answers to a national crisis in the 1930''s, many Republicans in Congress went along becasue they were still patriots, and wanted to see their country recover.

Today, we live in the Krystol/Gingrich/Rove era of the GOP, where the only lesson they learned from the Great Depression is never again to allow the Democrats to be heroes... lest they become popular with the voters. So in place of the civic responsiblity to save our nation, what we will continue to experience is obstructionism, at any cost.

Granted, we are not yet seeing men wearing rags on their feet and children dying, but clearly it will come to that again, if they are successful and our country is bankrupt. And they will not care, because to them, it''s not about us.

whitemale is right. Without globalization people would be back to dying by age 40. There would also be no need for retirement.

Our parents and grandparents live far beyond the age of 40 before 1971 when ''globalization'' went into full swing by taking our currency off the gold standard.

In fact before 1913 when the private Federal Reserve System was created, Americans lived to they were 80 years old and beyond.

It was during the Dark Ages or Medieval Period in the 1400''s that people were dying at the age of 40 because of the collapse in derivatives by the Lombard banking cartel.

That Dark Age plunged Europe into an era of darkness full of disease because of non functioning sanitation and health care as result of all the looting by the Lombard Banking cartel.

So I don''t know what your point is.

It''s like Obama said when he announced Tom Daschle; "...I reject the idea that because of the crisis we can''t do health care. I say it''s because of the crisis that we must do health care now".

And he''s right about that because we need a ''bridge system'' in healthcare until we dismantle the system of globalization.

Once globalization is dismantled then ''middle-class'' wages will rise to where we can afford our own healthcare.

Need I remind you that it was a different day and age?
Only you would ask such a question as that.

But to answer you, I''m sure he would be in favor of any of anybody needing a blood letten'' by the way of leaches ot be able to get it.

You wouldn''t need a national health care system if we dismantled globalization.

George Washington was living in pre-globalization times here in America.

This government has walked away from its own people.
Why do we sit/stand/lay down for it is beyond me?

From health care, to the failure of not securing our borders, to globalisation, this government has simply walked away, or shirked its responsibility to its people.

Hope you''re happy Washington, and its faux royalty.

It''s amazing how people like can deny the solution that Larouche offers since it was he that predicted with stunning precision everything that has happened and that will happen to our economy over 2 years ago.

You are still brainwashed with the sofistry of Wall Street and the media.

Truly amazing.

whitemale08: To have your plan work, we would need to get the worlds population down to a more workable number like 10-100 million. Killing the vast majority of people on earth is far to drastic for me.

No my friend, it''s continuing ''globalization'' that will reduce the world''s population!

Why do you think so-called prince Charlie of England calls for the ''reduction of the human population''?

If we dismantle the very system of USURY that has infested mankind like maggots and parasites then we can expand the human population from 6.5 billion to well over 40 billion.

Please, go to larouchepac.com and listen to his speeches, it''s all there my friend.

whitemale08: Try following the no globalization plan. Do not eat anything, wear anything, use power, machines etc. not made or produced locally. You main issue then would be would you starve before you froze in your dark cave.
