minnick8,

I''m just the messenger friend...Start doing your research so you have somethign to back up your hatred of me.

You can hate me and what I posted all you want, but it doesn''t make what is happening to America NOT True.

Your post to me tells me that you are not a student of the markets...of economics...of world history...etc.

Start to educate yourself...or are you to afraid of what you will discover?

Actually, you have already read what I posted...and like I said...American''s are either Ignorant, in Denial, or Delusional.

I believe YOU are All Three.

Sorry...but your response to me tell us all that it''s
true.

Good Luck.

What planet do you live on? They have not salvaged the Titanic. It still lies at the bottom of the Atlantic. An expedition found it and surveyed it with remote submersibles, but it''s still lies where it sank.

Well, obviously, George Orwell didn''t know about night vision gogles.

Maybe it is time to take a page from our past and reinstitute a program along these lines. Help people to help themselves while helping our nation. There are miles of highway out there that need work, and many State and National Parks in dire need of restoration and repair.

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a work relief program for young men from unemployed families, established on March 19, 1933 by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As part of Roosevelt''''s New Deal legislation, it was designed to combat unemployment during the Great Depression. The CCC became one of the most popular New Deal programs among the general public and operated in every U.S. state and several territories. The separate Indian Division was a major relief force for Native American reservations during the Depression.

The CCC lost importance as the Depression ended about 1945. Initial opposition to the program was primarily from organized labor, but as unemployment fell, so did the need for the CCC.[1] After the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941, national attention shifted away from domestic issues in favor of the war effort. Rather than formally disbanding the CCC, the 77th United States Congress ceased funding it after the 1942 fiscal year, causing it to end operations.

81% of Americans think USA is on the wrong track.

Obvious corollary - 19% of Americans are deluded or work for Halliburton.

Not everyone on the Titantic died and 60 years later it was salvaged and much of its remains were very much in tact.

EARTH to FASCIST!! EARTH TO FASCIST!! Jimmy Carter IS NOT the President and hasn''t been for a long long time. The National Debt under Carter was 31 BILLION Dollars, we paid out 430 Billion last year alone for interest on OUR debt. We no longer have all those great paying jobs we had under Carter either so digging out is going to take some doing. Sieg Heil Bush

America does need to go through some changes and refinements to solve its own problems. But I disagree, it is NOT over. We have too many hard-working, intelligent, brave, people who are willing to serve each other and sacrifice when called upon to do so. I almost pity you for your negativism regarding America''''s future. If it is so awful, maybe you could go live someplace else--like Calcutta.

Duh?? We''re in debt to the tune of 9.3 TRILLION Dollars, that debt is growning at the rate of 1 MILLION Dollars a MINUTE. The Balanced Budget and Surplus we had when that pathetic LOSER a few still call a President is LONG GONE, replaced with RECORD deficits. Yes we can recover and move ahead but certainly NOT with Republican''s and NOT with the failed "Trickle Down" economics. Never has ONE party proven to be MORE incompetent than has this republican party. Sieg Heil Bush.

I must not be aware of current events. Who was it that was, " . . . illegally abducted at the mall while shopping." and in Boston?

He said, she said, they said. The only truth is that Saddam did invade Kuwait and we responded. Then we, through browbeating the U.N. for sanctions, imposed no fly zones, and tariff restrictions, and embargoes that became a rallying point for anti-American sentiments among a soveriegn countries populace, and instigated many of the confrontations of which you rant. I repeat, we were not asked to intervene, we chose to intervene. Don''t tout humanitarian reasons or WMD''s or any of the other bs reasons. If we are so humanitarian why weren''t we in Rwanda, or Darfur, or Kenya, or for that matter why didn''t we invade North Korea or Iran

Say what you will about George Soros...and you may or may NOT like him...but the man knows a heck of a lot more than all of us about the Economies of Nations, and more than all of our "Leaders."

81% Say U.S. On Wrong Track.....

let me guess the other 19% are Relatives and cronies?

rafterman1, the wingnuts think this is all a big game since they themselves will never do the actual fighting. Sideline cheerleaders.

"You dumb*ss lib. If the money is borrowed, it has to paid back with interest, and therefore it isnt a "bailout"." - TracyMoron, again

The dumb*ss here is the guy/girl (T.Moron) who doesn''t understand that when the government guarantees a loan, if the company fails to pay it back, then the GOVERNMENT (us taxpayers) have to pay it back. THAT''s a bailout!!!

[sumarongi]

Tonyd_31,

The problem is that these people are incapable of original thinking. Spout the party line they are told. What''s good for the party is good for you they are told. Hence that is what they believe. Mindless little automatons who would gladly line up in the chute at the slaughter house if their leaders told them to. They have been brainwashed since youth in the belief that their party has the mandate of GOD on their side. Sort of reminds me of the Waco incident and David Koresh''s followers. Sadly this problem has an effect upon our entire nation.

[skyhawk761]

Sumarongi great post. Not only did we fund and support Bin Laden we helped to create the very tunnels to the Pakistan border he and his people use. This was all done under the wonderful Ronald Reagan. During this same time frame this same administration was giving chemical weapon technology to the very man that used it on his own poeple in Iraq, Sadam. God, it''s great to be under Republican control.

READ THIS - IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

The American people are...

1) Ignorant of what is taking place...

2) In Denial about what is taking place...

3) Delusional about what is taking place.

The evidence is very clear...IT''S OVER.

America is NOT what it used to be, and Americans think it will get back to it''s former "Greatness" as an economic "Powerhouse."

It aint gonna happen.

The American way of life and it''s "Standard of Living" is in decline, at the same time that the Asian Counties are on the rise and their standard of living is increasing.

Asia is what America WAS back in Post WWII...their countries are creating a "Middle Class" at this time, and hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people are improving their standard of living, even though it is still far less than America''s standard of living. But again, at the same time, America''s standard of living is in decline.

That''s what the American people have not come to grips with yet...America is changing on the "World Stage," and much of this change is decline. American''s can no longer "Compete" with the third and second world LABOR. Business and the Market no longer NEEDS Americans when they can simply go to a low-cost nation, with low-cost labor.

It''s OVER...or as Legendary Investor Jim Rogers said while walking out the US Door after he sold his NY Mansion and converted all his Money OUT of the US Dollar...he said..."America is a Has-been Country."

He is 100% Correct.

Hey jjarden,
I love your points. I cannot wait for the upcoming 4th Great Depression around the year 2018 to dynamite American''''s Ego, Pride, Greed and Arrogant once and for all.

2018?

You think it will take that long?!

Though, I guess that could be right, at about that time, a vast majority of baby-boomers will be retiring and using the Social Security and Medicare systems which will become nearly bankrupt around that time. But that''s just one piece of the crumbling pie.

[arlt1627]

Sumarongi,

Great historical points! Couldn''t have worded it better myself!
