if it is this serious,
you’d think someone would do something
to stop it.

All levels of our government are engaged in rampant and escalating treason against the founding principals of the nation.

I’ll second that. And if we as a country punished those who committed treason we wouldn’t have so many of them.

Obama has accomplished what he was hired to do and that is to bankrupt US, there is now way out now. We are past the tipping point now.

5.7% GDP growth 4th quarter, income rising faster than rising spending, lifting the savings rate to a hair under 5%, manufacturing up, inventories rebuilding, profits coming in 17% above analyst estimates...
Reports of the death of the US economy are greatly exaggerated. They always are.
Don't get me wrong, policy is poor on the fiscal side and in proposed taxes, spending we don't need etc. Monetary policy has been entirely sound and correct, however, and the adjustments of American business to the recession were thorough, efficient, swift, downright merciless. And entirely effective.
In the long run, betting against the US economy, like betting against the US military, is for losers.

Obama promised wealth redistribution. Even boasted the largest in the history of America! Thus it is he is wiping out all capital and equities by crashing the economy. That is why he wants the “civilian” police force. Once you bankrupt the nation, it is maleable.
You would think that people want employment. That the nation would wake up to this crashing and pull the nose up!!!
But no, Obama is taking it into the next realm. The after America Era or the post American era. MArxism can not save nor solve dirt!

Our government has taken upon itself the task of picking winners and losers, instead of letting the free market decide, and as a result we all lose. From car companies to financial institutions, the long arm of government has grabbed freedom by the neck, seeking to decide who gets paid what and how big companies and banks can grow. Profound.

To follow up on something that I've not heard before ... imagine the injustice of income taxes taken from an employee at Ford being used to subsidize his competitor at GM.
The word "un-American" comes to mind.

Fortunately, the sales numbers seem to indicate that the American people “get it” on that. Ford is doing pretty well. The General? Not so much.

All that “growth” is government spending of borrowed dollars coming out of future economic activity.
That is totally unsustainable.
As the borrowed money dries up things will return to their downward trend until Obamacare and his endless spending and new taxes finally die. If those things do not die, things are going to be meager for years to come.

No way out if you expect to actually pay it all back and maintain the current standard of living.

Someday we’ll be at a point where the US economy will no longer be able to support the US military and all will come to an end.
We arent’ there. But every day we get a little closer.

It really isn’t a “free fall” when someone is intentionally and continuously pushing it down the next flight of stairs.
