Economy ping
We Are So Screwed... (c)
Ping for CWII ping list. The facts are both vivid and depressing. What is the response to most Americans to the open looting that is going on? (Today's $100 Million bonus's to the very unit of AIG that bankrupted the company is a great example).
Is there any point where it becomes too much to bear? Have we been so sheeple-ized that we will just acquiesce to all this? Does the idea of our kids paying 75% of their income in taxes (and perhaps still not getting health care for it) upset anyone?

“probably can’t be turned around”
That’s pretty grim.
So, what are we facing? Starvation? Invasion? Default on the national debt?
Time for a good ol’ World War to shake things up. (and get the economy rolling.)
And Barry is just getting warmed up .

Yes, but as far as the conclusion goes, perhaps it doesn’t end with a dictatorship by a ruling elite. My sense tells me that the “elite” will in big trouble if wealth seizure is attempted. The “elite” may find themselves before firing squads of angry citizens at stadiums everywhere.
This alone would cause moderation in execution of ill conceived seizure plans.
If the election of one Republican senator from Mass can turn the political class on its head, think of their reaction to the potential action of tens of millions of armed citizens.
Our founding fathers got the 2nd Amendment right. There’s a reason it exists.
Sergeantdave’s unofficial economic report:
I’m seeing big growth in cash for service and a big leap in the quality and quantity of goods in the underground markets. High-priced manufactured foodstuff (yuppy spaghetti sauce, olive oil, nuts, imported Italian noodles, canned crab, etc.) is selling for about 50 to 75% less than on store shelves. Common low price food (cans of vegetables, tuna, soup, etc.) is sometimes selling for more than at the grocery stores. (Watch for expiration dates) Fresh fish very high prices, but get to know the fish monger and he’ll give a good price at end of day. Power tools galore for bargain bin prices. Hand tools priced high. Most ammo and arms are still in the high price range. Fresh fruit and veggies coming in daily at very low prices, except pineapples. Still $4 each. Meanwhile, the obuma booths at the local fleamarkets sit mostly unattended with massive disinterested crowds passing by.
The Federal Government is a terminal cancer on this country, and the media and the lying politicians are passing out nausea medicine in the form of propaganda to mask the symptoms.
the treachery of the moneylending sytem is on so many levels, from retail sales monopolies, to utility monopolies, to credit card debt, to mortgages, to stocks and bonds, right up to national debt and taxation, it is all manipulated and orchestrated by the unbridled moneylending monarchy as in the old days of kings and queens
We have had a democracy for some time (the republic died long ago), and such states always go either to tyranny or fall apart. We should assume the US is no different.
Democrats should never be treated with even the smallest amount of respect or tolerance. They are a walking lethal virus worthy only of eradication. They bring absolutely nothing good into the world. They ONLY thing they do is kill and consume the weak throughout their entire worthless lifespans.
"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."
~~Ludwig Von Mises
(What comes after that is a total disaster: CW2, Max Max or tyranny.)
I can't imagine why there is a problem.
When more than seven million American workers lost their jobs and were subsisting on unemployment benefits and food stamps, federal government employees, who now earn DOUBLE what private sector workers earn, were given another round of pay and benefits increases anyway.
Governments that openly defy the people are either already totalitarian or in the process of becoming so. Monetarily, the United States clearly functions as a totalitarian dictatorship already
