Everywhere you go there is someone who defends the President. I feel sorry for them. Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil Right I remember how it goes.
When I was growing up there was a famous saying Id like to remind you all of "Put out or get out"! There is no free ride someone always pays.
So you mean to tell me the American Dream is dead..... I know.... I know it's been dead for decades. Things are going downhill and I don't see anything stopping it.

DEAD ON BROTHER! However this is a pipe dream because the establishment will not let this happen under any circumstances.

Unfortunately you are correct suga. This country has reached and passed its zenith. IMO that was in the late 60s early to mid 70s. Since then we have been a crumbling society-country.
As a nation we are all too concerned with me as opposed to us. Everyone is fully consumed with themselves and their lives. They have no concern or care about their childrens children and the quality of life they will have.

I second the call for a libertarian.

There are a few simple things that almost everyone have forgot about.
1) Money is like water. It runs best in cycles. The sun comes out and sucks it up and then it rains and everything grows and everyone is happy. If you sock it away so that the cycle is stopped then everything dries up and dies.
2) If I own a large company I want to stand on top of the ladder of progression at that company, industry. I also want to be above evryone else at my company and the other companies. To be above everyone else I have to build a taller ladder. The people I employ are the rungs in my ladder, so that I can afford to add more productive employes I have to make a product and sell it. I make more money, pay more taxes and add more employes so I can keep this cycle going.
There are more things that people have forgotten but these two things would go a long way to makeing things better for everyone. Ill explain.
If I sell more of the product that I make I can pay my employes a better wage and even add employes. My employes make more money so they spend more money some of them buy my product and I make more money. So on and so on. . . . The money goes in cycles and my ladder gets taller. On the other hand If I keep most of the money I make and pay my employes minimum wage they will leave my company and go somewhere else to work. They will also tell others how bad my product is because the people who make it dont know what their doing. Sales go down my ladder might even get shorter. Soon my company will dry up and die.
You might say that the problems in this country are more related to the way our government is and if the government was fixed then everything else would be ok. I dont understand why the government is like it is but I see it as being like a big wall around a castle. We keep building the wall bigger and taller but never bother to fix or improve the things that are on the bottom that are broken and support the upper levels. If we keep doing this the wall and the castle will become like a big house of cards. When the bottom can no longer support the upper levels the bottom will collapse. When that happens everything will collapse and fall down.
Are you confused? Simply put everything must run in a cycle. If you stop going in the cycle or slow it down to much It cant survive or continue. Everything from your work out to the water has a natural cycle that it must go in or there is no more progress. Sometimes even death.
the problem with that is businesses aren't paying their employees more money to keep them because they know the government is crap and the employees have no other choice than to stay with the company they are at. the company I work for is the best in the industry for what we do and they company has almost doubled their earning in the last 3yrs, but they have only given their employees about a 10% raise over that period of time. hell, gas and groceries have gone up more that 10% in the last 3yrs. its a loosing battle.
"Look forward-never look back and enjoy every sandwich -Go get em-OD ALPHA ZILLA"
Amen OD. I vote libertarian and this country is in shambles IMO. Too much socialism, too much spending... The chinese have something right, they save and invest something like 35% of their income, whereas in the US its something like 2%. We have a central bank (fed) with an open policy of debasing the currency through expanding the money supply. They have said there is no end to printing money and will do as much as it takes. That creates bubbles in the economy. When money is created out of thin air and no product was created, inflation follows. Bubbles also. It helps people with real assets like buildings, land, factories etc, because the price to own such items goes up and up (so if they sell, they get $$$), but to those who are saving it hurts them as the prices of everything is more and more.
The main problem right now is runaway federal and state spending (entitlements mainly), and the fed buying up mortgage backed securities at full market value from banks. It would be nice for me to get full price for my intel shares when they went down, but apparently that is only for Ben's friends on wallstreet. So "too big to fail" bailouts means this:
banker: someone who you give money to for safe keeping in exchange for interest, and they loan the money out, and if it doesn't get repaid then they go belly up
bankster: someone who you give money to for safe keeping in exchange for interest, and they loan the money out, and if it doesn't get repaid, then congress takes money from taxpayers to make sure their profits are intact.
So back a while ago banks gave out ARM mortgages to people left and right, and those loans got packaged up into things called mortgage backed securities and traded amongst the banks. Now when joe schmoe doesn't pay back his loan, and enough people like joe give the bank the finger, the mortgage backed security (MBS) value is shit. Pennies on the dollar. Except Ben Bernanke is buying these back from banks AT FULL VALUE. With your money!!! And they're doing it at $40bn a month, and they've said they may never sell them off the fed's balance sheet. So what happened to all the money that didn't get repaid?!?!?! That's where inflation happens.
