cavanami Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 All this mess started long before Regan. Jimmy Carter was no angel and Nixon...come on, Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard casting it into some black hole of doom! The dollar is worth about 10% of what it was in the 60's!!!

itsmedave Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Honestly..at this point I don't think health care, jobs, the economy, wars, terrorism...none of these are the worst problem facing America, because these are all problems that can be solved if we work together. Our worst problem is that we refuse to work together. The GOP especially seem to be much more intent on destroying this President than in solving any of these probelms. As long at that continues we have no hope of dealing with the other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they help solve the problem the sitting president gets the credit. So, no matter what the opposition party can not work with the president in solving problems. Sad as it seems.

Old Hippie Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well in theory, the right is against "socialism." Which basically means they favor maintaining the status quo, and that is "being taller by standing on top of the rest of us..." The right are the stooges of the rich elite, they work so hard to convince us all that things like government pension protections and health care, and saving jobs are bad for us, especially bad for working people. The elite need to maintain their grip on us, and the right is all to happy to help, as they figure some day some will trickle down to them, and they can stay on top of others and so on... See, if even 1 illegal Mexican or person without a job (a "freeloader" never mind why they have no job) gets free health care (they already do) that is one too many on the backs of working Americans... Of course it is the elite who exported all the jobs and manufacturing, so they could make more...now of course there is not enough to support them and make them even richer...so they face a dilemma...throw us crumbs or choke us more...or somehow convince us that we need less for our own good...just as CEOs cut workers salaries and benefits, then stuff the money into their pockets, so too does government...full well knowing the average American is too damned stupid to pay attention or care. Remember, the reason we are not all rich and having it better is because of poor people who don't work keeping us all down! and that is the fault of the left wing socialists in this country...right wing socialists are somehow much better...

cavanami Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The powers that be keep it confusing as possible! ...and why not, as they are the problem! Was watching a video (The Money Masters, 3+ hr video) where they do a good history of the evils of the present day central banks (in the US, the Federal Reserve, which is not Federal and has NO reserve!)...they claim that ALL the gold in Fort Know is now owned by the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank made up of international bankers! If this is 1% true, the US is totally farked!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
