“I think we have reached a tipping point already regarding our future creditworthiness. USA, Inc.'s financial statement looks worse than any zombie bank's I've seen. But because it takes so long for a behemoth the size of the US to sink below the waterline once the irreversible final act begins, most people just aren't conscious of how much water is already in the hull. ( Or most people are just brainwashed, drugged out, dumbed down, and purposely ignoring the alarms going off..there's always that explanation. )

I'm not looking forward to the hyperinflationary phase ahead, when all these people are shocked out of their stupors and forced to learn the 100 years of monetary reality they've been ignoring their whole lives... in a week.

"Wake up, kids! Time to take that red pill. Lesson One: In 1913, an illegal central bank was established, and real money began to disappear from the American landscape..."

People hit with that much cold water in the face all at once are bound to be disoriented, irrational and unpredictable. Hopefully, the types of strikes and demonstrations you speak about will materialize- but we are talking about Americans here, who rally around sports and not much else.

:(”

“That's why Americans of all races, creeds, genders and all who love our great country must stand fast and not allow the haters, ignorant, spreaders of doom and gloom to overthrow this government with their lies and other means of separation to ever gain a position of power again.

Country first must never become a guise to put Self first or party first.

We must remain vigilant and informative to the guiles of those who would divide us as a nation.”

“What's a Repugnant?”

“She won't be for the same reason Krugman is ignored by the White House. Obama marches to the drummer of corporate America, not Main Street.”

“Agreed. Elizabeth Warren does not have a seat at Obama's table. She is not a member of his "Summers-Geithner-Kashkari-Paulson" Club. Warren is like a modern day Laocoon warning Troy against the dangers of the Trojan Horse. She is being politely ignored and not without consequences.”

“But he has Summers doing his advising who Arianna Huffington recently said is telling O he can't do anything about the foreclosures and job losses. That's a fact, written here on this very site.”

“Bad policy and sending thousands of americans to die in a foreign country is just as ludicrous when a black president does it as when a white president does it.”

“the struggle for power and prestige occurs at all levels of society -- continuously. you won't improve the world by trying to weed out "greedy" and "dangerous" individuals, as they only indicate what's possible given the current conditions of the game.

i agree, though, that the conditions need to be changed.”

“Your 'idealism' is really 'realism' as we continue down our path to self destruction... corporate style.”

“let me guess. the hours u spent watching tv r now spent on the innertubes? (me too.)”

“Hate to admit it, but you're dead on with your analysis. This is the biggest mistake I've ever seen a President make - bigger than Bush because it's going to be the final straw and many of us know it. Why even risk it, at this point? It really boggles the mind. I'm guessing he's scared of the military brass and the contractors, since they've got half the power in this nation now. Wall Street and the banks have the rest.”

“you have no idea what you're talking about”

“This column is correct and so are you. I've seen what threatening (as a perception or misperception really) does. The closer I got to a PhD the more the guy I was with pulled away. Within about a year he married a woman who never went to college. I taught a class that largely had women in it but there were 4 guys. They all sat together. One in particular talked a great deal and was openly confrontational when he or the others didn't like something or whatever I said didn't support their preconceived simplistic binary notions. Then all of 'em wrote final papers where they all claimed victimhood status like they had been persecuted (which was in their heads as a bunker mentality).

This is what is sooo funny about men condemning Muslim practices against women. You KNOW they secretly like such things because in their own ways (if more subtle) they do the same thing.”

“X2”

“Equally scary (if not more so) are the two legged parasites who rob us blind and reduce our economy to rubble. I think we should bring back DDT for those guys.”
