What is sad is that everyone wants to blame Bush for the massive spending deficit. Look at the increase of pork projects proposed by the Democrats and you will see where much of the money goes. In the last session just one of the projects was for 4B and that was for a veterans park in Cal. These pork projects increased the cost by 20%. All political parties suck and reform begins by scrapping all or creating a multiple party system (5 parites would be a good beginning).

Going bankrupt: The US''s greatest threat
By Chalmers Johnson

The military adventurers of the George W Bush administration have much in common with the corporate leaders of the defunct energy company Enron. Both groups of men thought that they were the "smartest guys in the room", the title of Alex Gibney''s prize-winning film on what went wrong at Enron. The neo-conservatives in the White House and the Pentagon outsmarted themselves. They failed even to address the problem of how to finance their schemes of imperialist wars and global domination.

As a result, going into 2008, the United States finds itself in the anomalous position of being unable to pay for its own elevated living standards or its wasteful, overly large military establishment. Its government no longer even attempts to reduce the ruinous



expenses of maintaining huge standing armies, replacing the equipment that seven years of wars have destroyed or worn out, or preparing for a war in outer space against unknown adversaries.

the time of reckoning is fast approaching.

P.S. Briton, Italy, France, and Israel is in bed with Bush. If China was not communist (highly volitile politics), I invest into Asian markets; otherwise, go bear market!

Now that this hiccup has jolted the rest of the world a bit, there should be more reason for other countries to dump the dollar and go euro.

Corporate fraud will skyrocket, government corruption and public distrust blanket the states, merger will go on ignored, WAGES WILL FALL, and unemployment will rage with a vengence. Why? Because the uneducated and the corrupt leadership in this country has allowed this perversion to overthrow capitalism by creating an artificial economy.

The media is helping the illusion, by making its headlines sound like some type of victory in the stock market rebound - they know that this country''s economy has nonething to lose, BUT EVERYTHING.

The bushwackers stimulus package is fabricated to encourage more spending to churn the credit monster. China is attempting to wean itself off of American Investment.

LET US FACE IT FOLKS, THIS COUNTRY STRAPED WITH DEBT. THE SPENDING YOU DO WILL ONLY MAKE THE WEALTHY LAUGH ALL THE WAY INTO POWER.
