Are the current economic woes of USA tantamount to self inflicted wounds?
ez f asked:
The more you think about the true reasons for the economic collapse….not the symptons, like people losing their homes and not finding jobs….but the actual down the nitty gritty reasons why people who work for a living in the USA and who are not rich are struggling is really because policies were intended to attack that section of the population. Perhaps the perpretators did not intend these results…in some cases I know they did, but if someone says they dont want to hire you and would rather someone else and is bent to not hire you, then that puts you at a disadvantage, doesn’t it? We have to look at the obvious. Think of it like a boat out at sea that has sprung several leaks and is in danger of sinking, you have a pump and are using it to bail water but more water is coming in via the leaks than you can pump out. We have got to plug the leaks that have led to the declining real wages of american workers, and unbalanced budgets and a 14 trillion dollar national debt, and a trade deficit. We need to go to american stores and look at manfuctured items and see that most of them are made in the USA by the people who will be buying them. We need to go to places of business and see americans working, and not a bunch of foreigners imported to drive down wages . We need to have banks be banks and banks only again and to have walll street operate under common sense regulations.
This is not rocket science people…it really is not. But have you noticed how litte talk there is of so called solutions that really get down to the actual roots of the problems?

If there was a large asteroid heading toward the earth, and we had a chance to blow it up?
Glen D asked:
before destroying the earth, which of following would Republican Party leadership say, to stop funding of a massive program to save the earth?
A. It would cost too many trillions of dollars, not worth it
B. Not worth it, it would burden future generations with massive debt
C. It would promote big government and both Socialism and Fascism at the same time.
D. The national government must not deal with the problem, there are better state or local solutions
E. Since there is only 50% chance that Earth will be destroyed, do not worry about it.
F. No problem, we’re glad that final destruction has come, we’re ready to die.
G. (Could it be all of the Above, for most Conservatives?)
Of course this is not a IF’ question, it’s very likely that someday a large meteor will hit the eart.
It’s also true that blowing it up in space will create hundreds of smaller particles, but the althernative would be worse.
If blown up far enough out, many of the smaller parts, would not hit the earth, better than the whole thing wiping us all out, right?
Taking care of life on earth should be first priority, not taxation or debts.
You cannot put a dollar tag on one live, yet alone 300,000,000 or 7 trillion lives.
Right?
Solutions, or excuses?
WE need solutions, for all earthly and and national health problems, not excuses, right?
