Thing is, that everyone is looking for that magic person who will solve all their problems for them and still take flack from a spoiled public. GW protected the US from a world of hurt, but he was still mouthed off to via the spoiled university crowd and our pampered media. Even conservatives whined about how he wasn’t doing one thing or another for them, while they sat fat and glassy eyed in front of TV. I’m certain that if the US decided to start making changes for themselves we wouldn’t be in this fix.
Honestly, when the economy and system collapses, it’ll be for the better in the end. Time to shed the dross and have ourselves a little Darwin experience. It’s inevitable.
Doomed? Can someone be “doomed” after the fact?
Anyone who can perform mathematical functions would tell you that America is past the point of no return. For now, the burden of the debt is lessened by ZIRP. When it starts to go up and it will, those left believing in unicorns and rainbows, will have to work harder for less.
Yes - without a doubt.
I thought we already were.
I fear we are doomed to become a failed Stalinist State, after the financial collapse and social upheaval.
The sign says “Work makes you free” and Obama doesn’t like work. Just more taqiyya?
Um, no.
Failing Euro-peon welfare states only exist because the US has been underwriting and subsidizing them.
When the US fails, there’s no one there to prop us up. We will take the rest of the world down with us.
Socialism has run out of other people’s money to spend.
Not ours. Not yet. But I agree with you entirely, it will, and when it does there will be no soft landing.
Buuuuump!
Yes.
The 2012 election was the Rubicon.
I loved America.
“Trey Gowdy supports amnesty, no thanks.”
Really?
Trey Gowdy: Don’t trust Obama, immigration reform not coming
“So when I hear the president say immigration reform is coming next? No, it’s not.”

The very few who don't live in the new normal of "equal income poverty" will be 0.002% of the population who are elitist members of "The Party" controlling every single aspect of our lives. They will live opulent lives of excess while everyone else suffers.
Won't it just be fabulous to live like this?(/s)
Short answer yes, with an if. Long answer no, with a but.
Failure. The counties in Europe, for the most part, are homogeneous populations with the same race(s) and religion(s) and goal(s). This country is not like that anymore. The Judeo-Christian/Anglo-Saxon/WASP foundations that this country was founded on have been either eliminated or diminished by decades of calculated attacks by the Communist/Leftist/Anti-American forces.
Major problems in Europe were when people(s) were forced together (Yugoslavia, for example) or conquered (Ireland/England) or “other” (Germany, 1933-1945?). Or in the phenomenon of “Balkanization” that we’ve seen. That problem has spread to the USA, precipitated by what I wrote above.
Yes, we’re already there with the “consent of the governed”.
