We will have to cut spending. There is really no alternative. We can’t tax ourselves into prosperity, particularly with our irresponsible Congress spending the money.

“A step down the line of diminished economic power and wealth has been taken,” he said.

and the radical left thinks this is .... bad news?

I don’t think so! This is exactly the commeuppance and “change” these America haters have pledged to bring the world. Thanks! to the 62 million idiots who were hypnotized by the Bamster. I just hope they all freeze and starve before I do.

It is and has been the goal of the left to turn this nation into a “banana republic.” Government takeovers of banking and major business operations, the theft of assets, confiscation of wealth. Leftists/Marxists have dreamed of this for decades.

No wealth,= no nation

A banana republic is in fact a democracy.. not a republic..
A Democracy is rule by MOB Rule.. i.e. a "mafia"..
Socialism is a protection racket.. protecting voters from themselves in the MOB..
An insidious political scam.. bunko..

Rule by a central government, not States or Provinces..
A Banana republic is NOT a republic at all..

In a republic the central government is "the/a client" and subservient..
NOT the seat of public political power..

America has become a democracy.. the republic has been penerated.. and OVERTHROWN..

When?.. How?.. by Whom?.. to what extent?..
Now thats the elephant in the room..

The USA has become a modern Babylon, She has whored herself out to all of those who have courted her. Our elected representatives have feasted in this orgy. Like addicts they lie and deceive. They spend like drunken sailors with no regard of consequences. They prey on our collective ignorance. They pray to the god of money and power.

I weep for my nation.

The writing is on the wall, for those who can read.

Are we posting in echo chamber here, or not?

We repeat from a post a while back: “Have you driven your banana today?”

All of the recovery scenarios rely upon US govt creditworthiness.

Imagine the meltdown if US or Fed creditworthiness is called into question. It's not inconceivable.

What's more, I don't see a viable exit strategy from this recovery effort.

Too which the Dimocrats replied, we do not care, let America fall, we want our country to resemble Zimbabwe, and want everyone making $10 a month, living in a grass hut, burning cow dung for fuel, walking or riding a mule or water buffalo, having no electricity, no car, no grocery store, no medical care, living a green life, with only .78’s of a child in a family, and bowing down to their communist masters. That is what the Dimocrats want, total DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, as founded, by our Constitution.

[Fox_Mulder77]

We’re sitting on the biggest ponzi scheme in the history of the world. Yet, our elected officials carry on as if every thing’s fine.

Dark days ahead...

[dr_who]

They warned about it for decades, now it’s happening.

[ScottinVA]

“or become a ‘banana republic’”

I think we’re pretty much already there. Look at the increasing regularity of fixed elections.

We need to broadcast this from the rooftops “Obama plans on a Weimer Republic “ with truck loads of bills to pay for a gallon of gas, or 20% interest rates, for high taxes (lose-lose-lose)

[detective]

Banana Republic, Obama Republic it's all the same thing. Democrats are turning our great country into a totalitarian state with a corrupt third world economy.
