...”And it’s going down EXACTLY as Alinsky predicted. Create choas, so the people ask for a Socialist Dictatorship, in the end”...

I am afraid you are right.

“In 2008 Obama carried North Carolina. I think the people of N.C. should starve.”

For just a brief moment I thought about the death and destruction they had from the spate of tornados.

"This is nothing more than carter II....we went through this in the late ‘70’s..."

Not so. This is much, much worse.

"Will Obama still blame Bush for everything wrong?"

Bush is perpetually blamed for all of Obama's failings. The Obamatrons say Bush screwed up so much, that Obama has no wiggle room for improvement. The Keynes strategy is the only way out according to these goons, thus will follow Obama all the way off the cliff taking us with them unless Repubs grow a spine.

No, it is not worse....carter decimated our military, to the point that you could not get spare parts for your aircraft, ammunition for your rifle, or fuel for your aircraft.....carter left us utterly destroyed and completely defenseless......

Yet, they still want to re-elect that piece of excrement in the White House.

So you give a complete pass to the Republicans who also flooded the US with illegal aliens under GW Bush and who never saw a “free trade” agreement or an outsourcing they didn’t like?

Sorry, our declining standard of living has a lot to do with the Republicans who over spent, added to debt, and created conditions where we have to compete with low wage labor from China and India. Bush added more to the national debt than anyone before Obama.

The GOP politicians are in to this up to their necks. It is not just the left-wing socialists responsible for destroying our standard of living. The GOP politicians are in to this up to their necks.

And the worst part of it all?

Our government is doing everything it can to make it worse.

“So you give a complete pass to the Republicans who also flooded the US with illegal aliens under GW Bush and who never saw a “free trade” agreement or an outsourcing they didn’t like?”

Nope, I don’t. I consider them - the RINO/soft marxist wing of the GOP - to be part and parcel of the marxist demscum party. Same people, different label.

That’s why our first battle is to take back the fGOP (f for formerly). If we don’t do that, we lose before we begin.

"Why would they do that? I'll leave that question as an exercise for the reader. Hint: study fascism, nazism, and every other power grab in the history of humanity."

I was just thinking about this. George Soros (who wrote a book on how tough it was to be god) saw a faltering economy after the dems took over congress, and decided to find himself a jockey to ride it, since he enjoys playing with national currencies. He hired the current resident to ride the dejected economy to the bottom. The current resident enthusiastically leaped at the chance to get even with America, and he jumped on, raked the downward spiral with his spurs, fanned it with his hat, and screamed, "Yeeeee-Haww!!" all the way down.

I feel your pain. I am in the real estate business. It is just a misery to deal with it anymore. Cutting back all over the place personally. We were pretty stable till the food and gas went up. That is a real kick in the teeth. The one thing I won’t cut out is the booze. If I didn’t have a few scotches Friday and Saturday nights, I would lose my mind.

The only thing the federal government needs to do is get
out of the way. They won’t do anything for “Joe Schmo” because THEY CAN”T. The government does not create productive jobs. Heck they can’t even manufacture a pencil.

The democrats have succeeded in creating more takers than makers. 50% of people with earnings pay 0 income tax. But that is not the real problem. The real problem is too much taxing, too many regulations, too many restrictions by the Feds.

Well said, agree completely.

“This economy” has been going down for nearly four decades.
