Did The Senate Kill American Capitalism Last Night While We Were Sleeping?
Pravda/IBD/The Lid ^ | 12/21/09 | The Lid

Back in April, it was Pravda, believe it or not, the Russian News service that warned the end of American Capitalism was very near:

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.... Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? ...The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

That Pravda writer may have been a bit premature, because the death of American Capitalism began for real last night, while everyone was sleeping:

Wow, this is some of the first (pravda) truth I have seen that paper write. We are screwed!

Time to study a foreign language. When the exodus happens, “ability to speak English fluently” will be next to worthless. It’s scary to think of what they could possibly have up their sleeves next year or in 2011-2016.

I have to say I’m impressed with this Obama fellow.

The damage that George W. Bush did to this country in 8 years is nothing compared to what Obama has done in less than only 12 months!

I had planned to retire at the end of this year. I don't know what the Hell to do now. I do know some of the things I had planned for won't happen. Damn these times.

Democrats have been trying to kill Capitalism for a long time. Republicans can usually be counted on to help them. No one can stay awake that long.

That's easy. You, like myself will be carried out of our last jobs feet first. If we're lucky.

Socialism has ALWAYS FAILED. The current 535 losers are mentally ill.

I've been at this for 35 years. I'd rather keep it up than sit home watching daytime TV, which I fear that would be all I could afford to do.
