I'm still holding out hope enough Americans will regain their sanity in time...as we've been talking about in another thread, not "faith", but "hope"... OR that, if it does come to pass, it won't be that long before the whole idiocy is rejected and we can salvage what's left. But you may be right, who knows? Where'll you move to? Can I visit? I don't want to leave my country, and I hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does, we'll have to see...

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: So, Zit... How long before health care reform is repealed? How long before Social Security is scrapped? Unemployment? Minimum Wage? How much of the defense budget do you think Republicans will cut? You DO realize that that's the single biggest chunk of discretionary spending in the budget, right? I'll be laughing at your pain when not one of the promises the tea-baggers made comes to pass. Anyone remember Scott Brown, and how quickly he changed his tune the second he got into office? That you think any of the rest of 'em are any different, is the truly pathetic part. The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger. AURaptor's Greatest Hits: Friday, September 24, 2010 I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that. Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama: Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar. Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit. ... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

This is what happens when a significant portion of a population is propagandized to the point where they can't see reality. Personally, I can see hyperinflation in some sectors, deflation in others, a collapse of our military empire, and possibly even a reversion to fascism as tea-baggers keep pushing the same stupid agenda that didn't work the first couple pf dozen times they tried it. I wouldn't even be surprised if we wound up in another cock-and-bull war to distract from our economic failures. Doesn't even matter which country... pick one. We've a great history of rummaging through a pile of names and then inventing some sort of "reason" for invading. And you'll be able to hear me laughing from halfway around the world. And all my forum friends can come and visit. But not you. YOU I'll take a special joy in watching you crawl back to the massah for another whipping. Reality... she's a bitch, yanno? And so am I.

Since you took the House and Senate in 06 and the White House in 08 things have gotten worse!! For God's sake (even if don't belive in God) SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Everything you douchebags said would happen after you passed the "Pork Bill", and "Obama Care" turn out to be wrong!! On 11/2 Americans are going to let you know how we feel about you lying dictators, and then I WILL LAUGH AT YOUR PAIN!! I WILL DRINK YOUR TEARS!! The only thing than would REALLY give me a boner is if Keith Olbermann shoves a gun in his mouth on the air after all the votes are counted.

Quote:In any case, both China and Europe (and Brazil and a many other nations) understand their economies need to be balanced between production and consumption. China is seeking to expand its internal market and the EU is stabilizing its internal demand while cutting deficits.

They are a brutal totalitarian regime that favors the few at the expense of the billions...in essense a fair and equitable liberty-based result in China is a corruption of their system. It rarely happens, thus, corruption, like liberty, is minimal in China. H "Hero. I have never respected you." "I am forced to disagree with Hero here."- Chrisisall, 2009.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: Geezer, what some of the European nations have found is that they failed only to the extent that they followed the US model... But not all European governments are the same. FOUR nations are under stress... the PIGS, specifically Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. Meanwhile Germany, France, and Sweden are growing quite well economically.
Quote:The difference between them and us is that they have a plan to forestall the financial crisis from becoming an economic one, and this plan is actively pursued by various government levels, up to and including the EU.

Quote:So, here we are: our standard of living sucks and is getting worse, our middle class is being hollowed out, our infrastructure is becoming third-world... in fact, some economists are saying that the USA is becoming its own economic classification (There are developed nations, underdeveloped ones, developing ones, and then there is the USA which is devolving) and all we do is cling to the policies that brought us to this crisis in the first place, meanwhile dragging a bloated military budget along?
Quote:Anyone with half a brain....knew things would have to get worse before they got better. Those of us with a clue know there is no magical wand that will fix everything.

Meanwhile, China, the EU, and.... well, just about nation that doesn't have its head stuck up its collective ass... is going to forge ahead. So you haven't noticed what's going on in Europe recently? France is grinding to a halt because the citizenry can't stand the idea that they might have to work until they're 62 instead of 60 (US is 67). Spain, Greece, and Ireland are in the crapper. The EU is strained. China is doing pretty well because their take on political and economic ethics makes Bernie Madoff look like a saint. This is your exemplar for the improvement of the world?
