“By the time that things get really messy...around 2016...it’s hard to envision how you crawl out of this pit. You’d have to downsize the Pentagon to half it’s size, or just gut Homeland Security completely...to make the government function after that point.”
2020. 2016 is just a bit too close. Even if Obama continues as he’s continued for the previous 4 years, he’ll just get the US up to where Greece and Japan are now.
I wouldn’t have wanted to be the pilot of that plane. The landing was of great political importance. Had he messed up, he’d have been hanged. As it is, he’ll probably get a medal.
“They’ll continue to eat burgers from McDonald’s.”
Probably; they’ll eat hamburgers from the dollar value menus at McDonalds and Burger King.
What happens to the people who sell more expensive burgers than that? I think I know; rumor has it that the Stewart’s in my town is closing. After watching a summer go by with idle waitresses slumped over empty tables, I can certainly believe it.
Just goes to show how much of our technology that the Chinese have stolen from us (or Clinton gave them). When arresting cable technology was developed many decades ago, lots of planes were damaged during test landings. If the Chinese developed the technology on their own, that should have been the case now with them. When you use photocopied blueprints and instructions, so much can go right.
Sickening thing is that the Chinese have lots of money to invest in new toys, while Obama fritters away the wealth he stole from us, on lavish parties for his freeloader homies. Like an addict, he'll pawn our assets to the Chinese to support his habit, until they come to collect and it's game over.
