After the left and the Carter adminstration got done wrecking America in the 70’s and saying America’s best days were over, along came the great Ronaldus Magnus saying that our best days were yet to come. I like you believe the same.
The commiecRATS can’t risk another election in 2010, maybe never again. Whatever they try in 2010, they must fail.
I think you are both right. On the one hand, the US has taken an economic hit which it might recover from, but on the other, your kind of positive attitude is what will stop that from happening!
Not if we fire the idiot with the credit card, and cancel the policies he’s put in place.
The Founders were adamant about not granting the franchise to morons, women, those under 21, and non tax payers.
The politicians failed to heed their warning, and all of those groups have now been enfranchised via Constitutional amendment and are the reason this Republic cannot possibly endure.
The enemies of Freedom are all around us, the 50 % of Americans that continue vote Democrat.
A populace that gave the maniac algore the popular vote in 2000, elected Bill Clinton twice, and now puts a communist crypto-muslim in the White House is a populace and nation that has only darkness and despair on the horizon.
This Republic will fall, as the non taxpayers will continue to support those politicians who will redistribute money in exchange for votes.
Lets hope that in the new one that rises from its ashes, only taxpayers and veterans are entrusted to have a say on who may govern.
My modest proposal:
1)Cut 2% across all departments of gov. If that means lay-offs, well, welcome to the real world.
2) Eliminate the Dept of Education completely. Nothing can be shown to be a bigger failure than this monstrosity. Get rid of it.
3) Require all fed. employees (including elected officials) to pay Social Security taxes and begin an evaluation of fed pensions to bring them back in line w/ private sector pensions.
Continuing to borrow money from the Chinese is absolutely unacceptable.
And, unfortunately, the Government’s “cure” for the Financial Meltdown was to avoid pain by huge bailouts, guarantees, more regulation, taking over industries, and (of course) bigger Government. And the icing on the cake is we elected an inexperienced Socialist. This assures that the deficits will never go way. We made the wrong choices, plain and simple.
America will once again become great... but it may take a real revolution to get there... at the ballot box or otherwise.

And that is exactly Obama’s agenda.
He wants to ruin this country.
Where is the GOP? Where is the tea party?
Well, if we elect a Congress which will actually do its assigned tasks - one of which is to coin money, and regulate the value thereof - we can recover.
I agree sir. We may have some rough times, but I think (and hope, and pray) that Americans will rise up this November and deal Obama a devastating political blow.
“....To imply that the greatest, most powerful country in history has suffered an economic hit it might not ever recover from is in a word, unAmerican , to imply that the greatest, most powerful country in history has suffered an economic hit it might not ever recover from is to deny that what has made America so great, the very principles set forth by our founding fathers, the resilience of its people to carry on with relentless bravery in the face of adversity. I believe that despite the toll our burgeoning deficit may take, America’s best days are yet to come. God Bless America. “
there is no confidence in the dollar. The fed is monetizing debt. Once the credit contraction slows/ends, the endless dollar printing is going to begin to cause serious inflation, aside from the anticipatory currency moves we already see.
it may be unamerican, but it is very realistic, and is a story told over and over throughout history. Is there any old empire that reached the level of fiscal disaster the US is at and didn’t keep rolling downhill?
Honestly, it will. We are in deep trouble. We don’t have a manufactoring base anymore, and are so in debt that not borrowing will lead to a massive collapse.
The USA is going the way of the British Empire.
