The USA is stronger today than ever before. Are you joking?

You said”You have to ask yourself were we a stronger country from 1787 until 1996 without the rigged trading or since 1996 up to the present day?”

“The USA is stronger today than ever before. Are you joking?”

You must be referring to our being the largest debtor nation on earth instead of being the biggest creditor nation of the 80s. Or maybe you mean the way were are at full employment. Or maybe you mean the highest percentage of foreign born ever, flooding in mexicans, moslems, Africans, and South Americans who despise at everything America was. Or maybe you mean the imploding military that is a shadow of the early 90s. Or maybe you mean NASA that can’t put a single astronaut up despite our hit movies pretending we can. or maybe you mean the way every nation and pirate who wants flips us the finger anytime they want. Or maybe you mean our smallest nuclear arsenal ever.

You claim we are stronger than ever...please prove it.

We are in a bubble and about to burst.

Let’s see though since NAFTA, GATT, etc...

We had the dot com crash in 2000, then we had the crash in 2008 and we are set up for another crash probably not too long after the election. The derivatives bubble is bigger now than it was in 2008.

Prior to that 1996 we had the crash in 1987 and 1929. Notice the bigger stretch in time between the crashes? But the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 was supposed to prevent all this??? We have had nothing but disaster with the Federal Reserve! It has destroyed the value of the U.S. dollar. Which today’s buying power from the dollar is worth about 2 cents to what it was in 1913. That’s a side issue.

Getting back to my main point we still led the world from 1787 to 1996. We led the world in many things and were even a Super Power from 1945 until about 1996 without the RIGGED TRADE DEALS. What do we lead the world in today?

If NAFTA, GATT, etc.. Are so great then how come we have nearly 100 million people out of the work force? How come we are over 19 trillion dollars in debt? The unemployment numbers are bull$hit because the Obama administration decided to use the U-4 report vs. the U-6 report which was used forever. Plus they tried to hide inflation by taking food prices. off of the inflation report.

Did you just forget to put a "/s" on the end of this or are you actually panning this nonsense as fact? This country is in the worst position economically and geopolitically it's ever been in my lifetime and probably since sometime during WWII.
