Only for a minute. I can’t listen to any of the lying dogs of the political class. The arrogant blowhard is the worst one of all.

That’s true and depressing at the same time.

I think I quit watching ‘the news’ on any channel over 20 years ago... 8^)

"the day when reality slaps the face of the average Obama voter"

Somehow I don't think that day will ever come... maybe I'm wrong but I fear not.

"What recovery?"

There isn't one, and won't be one - I fear ever!

For at least the past 30 years Americans have run up credit cards, high loan-to-value mortgages and home equity loans, new car loans, personal loans (for big-screen TVs and a zillion other toys), school loans, loans for vacations, loans for this, loans for that... all for the purpose of living high on the hog today with the idea that everything will be paid off in the future. Always, in the future. It's called "the installment plan" - - it’s all about squeezing as much fun and cool stuff out of the weekly paycheck as a 30-year payment plan will allow.

The common mindset has been, “Get complete gratification today, pay for it tomorrow.” Then, the cars depreciate, the TVs and toys break, the vacations and casino trips become faded memories, and the party comes to an end.

But paying for it all, well... that continues for the next 30 years. But it’s okay - - just borrow some more and do it again, and push an even bigger day of reckoning out another 10, 15, or 30 years. Just use the house for collateral again - - I mean, real estate values keep going up up UP, right? Sure they do...

Naturally, the banks (and the government that calls the shots for the banks) have worked hard to become accomodating enablers. At least, they were accomodating enablers until recently... Oops...

Of course, the government itself has operated the same way, but even more recklessly than the selfish, ignorant chattering class. The government has maxed out the credit card of not only today's taxpayers, but the credit cards of the taxpayers' children and grandchildren!

Gee, who saw this house of cards collapsing?
Who saw this depression coming?

The day of reckoning has come a little earlier than many expected. It is finally time to pay the piper.
It was inevitable.

No way is a Democrat ever going to stand up and deliver the bad news. Democrats are cowards just as surely as they are liars. So who will lead America out of this mess?

I have no freaking idea.

My apologies.

Those who agree with this Administration are economically corrupt.

IMHO, this Administration is economically criminal.

I agree with everything that you said except for one. The media still seems to be able to indoctrinate low intelligence voters with their propaganda. There is no doubt that they are dying but much like a wounded Tiger... they are far more dangerous and desperate because of it.

intentional.

Go have a look @ Vimeo.com and search on Agenda: Grinding America Down,
better yet,

http://vimeo.com/52009124

Then take two aspirin and call me in the morning!

It connects the dots, crosses the t’s and dots the i’s. The only thing it does not touch on is Obama and his muslim roots and sympathies. Between the two, we have a casty cocktail of marxist-muslim who’s singular goal is to take down America. Actually , its a double header. Take down America and you take down western man. In the meanwhile he has his proxy the MB lining up in rank and file to go whack Israel.

Whatever happens to Israel, happens to us and europe. Not necessarily in that order.

"So who will lead America out of this mess?"

Sadly, no one will. We're headed into the toilet with the rest of the world, as the leftist's want.

We're on the brink of the 'tribulation' which has one bright side - the coming of Christ, and His total elimination of the dark side. All we can do is hang on - for the defeat of the evil that lurks ahead, but it's a rough ride to get there.

"... the longer it goes the more our productive skills will atrophy."

I don't see the possibility of any recovery - the o will make sure of that. The world is headed straight into 'one world government' - the pipe-dream of socialism.

"...what happens... when the Federal Reserve Corporation stops its money-printing?"

I think they have warehouses full of the new one-world currency. And, from what I hear they also have plans to install that 'mark of the beast' - no money, just a number that allows 'the rich' to spend their 'money in the bank.'

Thanks but I’ve already watched it and there were no real surprises in it for me. I have seen this train comin’ for a long, long time.

I wish we could actually SOLVE the problem instead of having our politicians inefficiently play games and trade favors.
