20? There’s only ONE reason I can think of, and it’s a teleprompter-reading imbecile who thinks America has 57 states.
To: blam
I’ll give you two reasons and cut through the crap.
Obama and his MARXIST railroaded policies.

It will recover the same day the GOP gets its act together and runs another Reagan. Just like the Iranian hostage crisis ended immediately upon Regan’s arrival.

Obama’s MARXIST policies are destroying CAPITALISM. The record setting DEBT is nothing we have ever experienced before and cannibalizing our future. Any prosperity will be eaten up in DEBT REPAYMENT.

Well, looks like tax paying, personally, has to go.
I’ll let Uncle Sam and all his bastard children make it on their own..

"Never" is a long time.
With drastic cuts in federal spending, and with tax reform, the US economy could be back in strong shape in short order.
It just won't happen while Democrats have any political power.

The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!) He sounds like that doomsday guy they all laughed at, Peter ..... : The problem is debt. Collectively, the U.S. government, the state governments, corporate America and American consumers have accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. Our massive debt binge has financed our tremendous growth and prosperity over the last couple of decades, but now the day of reckoning is here.
But award winning progressive economist Paul Krugman says the problem is we don't have enough debt. He is critical of Obama for not running bigger deficits.

Our economy has serious structural problems
In a healthy economy you are trading goods and services with money as an intermediary
Problem is we were/are trying to make wealth off of money (the intermediary) rather than by supplying necessary goods and services. More goods (tangible items) need to be made on US soil and lots of stupid narcissistic frivolous goods and services will be voted out by less wealthy consumers
Making wealth off of money is what the real estate bubble and Wall Street securitization & derivatives mania was/is all about

Think: Machiavelli, Antonio Gramsci and Cloward-Piven. With a bit of Orwell dusted across the top.

The problem is the mindless drones who elect him and others of his ilk. CHange. Hope. Single words that are meaningless without context, but people repeat them like a mantra.

Krugman has been right quite a few times.
To: ClearCase_guy
‘Drastic Cuts’ won’t happen with Republicans in power, either.
They won’t happen as long as people who receive money and services from the government, often without paying anything in as taxes, get to vote.
Long ago (I’d say the Johnson Administration, myself, but possibly earlier, like FDR) we hit a tipping point where these people became the dominant force in politics, and EVERY politician is beholden to them if they wish to be elected or re-elected.
