Did the job drain through outsourcing to India and China have anything to do with it? All the jobs lost meant less money to spend, less money for homes and consumer goods.

America is almost broke and will likely default on loans secured from foreign countries by Spring. If we default on these loans nobody will lend America any money because our government bonds, our collateral, will be worthless. The dollar would also become worthless and would then be replaced with the North American Union Amero.

Yes! Adding two weaker currencies to the dollar will strengthen it by adding a hundred million to the welfare rolls. The Canadians want to do it because their economy is stable and they have huge oil reserves and a small population! It all makes sense to me.

I do believe we are bankrupt and at some time in the future will go thru some gut wrenching financial restructuring.

That said, I do not see how the conclusion that the Amero and NA Union are manifestations of this situation.

Nonsense, fear mongering and blather.

WE HAVE A WINNER.

Pretty hard to pay your mortgage when your job gets outsourced.

“America is almost broke and will likely default on loans secured from foreign countries by Spring.”

Off by about 3 years I’d guess. It takes time to destroy a great nation.

The trouble is communism and communists. McCarthy was right! Once they got rid of him it’s only taken a generation to get communists infiltrated all through the government now and one about to enter the White House.

We are doomed until we realize what has happened. Commies cannot win militarily so the only way they can spread their poisonous doctrines is to mind control the youth of a nation away from its foundations and heritage and to go after a nation financially and break it down.

This is a demonstratively false statement. It is impossible for the US to default in dollar debt.

The only thing that can happen is that foreigners may be unwilling to acquire US debt.

“It is impossible for the US to default in dollar debt.”

In a few years US debt will be in yen and euros, and then we can default.

I’ve heard this conspiracy theory before. The thing the theorists fail to realize is that any group powerful enough, and well enough organized to pull off one of these conspiracies, can plant false clues to hide what they’re really up to. Either that or they are too powerful for anybody to stop them.

Yeah, it's those damn commies' fault that we spent ourselves into oblivion.

All those 42 inch screen tvs and SUVs are very commie like. All that credit card debt? Man, those commies are smart!

..... I hate to burst your bubble, but we did this to ourselves along with a lot of help from the corporatists who own Congress. :(

Our own fiscal irresponsibility can't be bamed on the commies, unfortunately.

Well, everyone teaching our youth have contributed to their brain-drain. It started in my generation with the loss of morality and our parents fearing us, Dr Spock. I just stood out side and didn’t back down from my 6’2 16 year old for shooting up a dog frisbee. :) Its the principle of the thing, its the principles...

Look to the Rothchilds Central Banking System. Start pushing to find out how much Gold is actually at Fort Knox. It belongs to the people. Demand and audit and you’ll see how much of our countries Gold is gone.

There is reason to believe this could really happen.

Look for the Bushbots to post reminding us that Bush protecred us from terrorists and he is a good person, loves his dog.

There remains only one course of action to save the republic.

Indeed, it did! Clearly, the person who posted this response is more qualified to be President most people currently in public life.

True enough. Given sufficient chaos, though, the left will take advantage to gain power. No conspiracy involved. The left is a tightly organized minority with a long view, waiting patiently for the right moment when there is a power vacuum. The left’s ascension to power following chaos and trouble can be traced all the way back to the French Revolution. That we might let it happen due to our sloth and inattention is, indeed, tragedy.
