from what I recall you're an immigrant to our country. You have very little historical perspective in that your experience in our country is very limited.

People all over the world have generally been ruled in such a manner as to benefit the rulers, not the people. From an historical point of view our country has been the exception. This explains our great prosperity that has long been legendary. Only in the last 30 years have we made backwards movement.

I think maybe the reason people get upset over this news is that they finally realize that their beloved Republicans and Bush dynasty are just as guilty as the dems at bringing these trends on. Ronald Reagan was the only major national politician that turned these trends around for a few years. Ronald Reagan did not support the New World Order. Ronald Reagan did not hesitate to tell the japanese to either produce cars in america or face negative consequences on their ability to export to america. Ronald Reagan represented us. The modern Republicans have rejected Reagan's politics. Gerry FOrd and George Bush both ridiculed him famously even.

So, modern republican sheeples are upset by what I'm saying. But I don't care about you. I care about the welfare of the american people.

Yes, I immigrated to the U.S. in 1961. Therefore I went through the times you herald.
I am also astute in Economics, have worked as European director for a very large company and am quite knowledgeable about politics, international business and I am retired.
You have not adressed any of the pertinent points I, or others have raised.
I simply can't go along with your assertions about "the last 30 years". Empty rhetoric doesn't cut it in any meaningful discussion. Make a point with substantiation and I will discuss it.

I will agree with you that the economy stinks. I think it is because of excessive govt. and excessive debt.

I would like to go back to the Great Depression years and ask, why did this happen. I think it was because of excessive debt. I don't think you can blame the great depression on illegal immigrants, trade deficit, cheap chinese goods, the japanese, the french, drug abuse, africa, aids, over taxation, arabs , free trade, globalization, or any other convienent scapegoat.

I would like to hear your theory on the great depression and why it happened. You may find a lot of parallels to our time now, namely excessive debt and stock speculation and manipulation.

Finally, I just don't understand how you can make statements like "Only in the last 30 years have we made backwards movement. " when you have the counter example of the Great Depression.
