Not really the end... I mean the end to the UNDER productive and wealthy life styles of Americans. We have been consuming too much, buying too much, expecting too much, paying executives too much, and even paying main street too much.

There is a very simple damn solution to make a deficit up in ANY country. Being able to sell something to other countries that they want to buy and afford. See all those guys in China with bicycles? They need cars, we should be making cars to sell to them. We have too many cars, we got like what? 3-5 per household? So many of them go into the junkyards, too. We need to get cheap, and when I say cheap, I MEAN we need to get CHEAP. Cheap wages, cheap executives, and materials need to be cheap. That way we can sell **** to other places that will BUY from us. That's how we get out of a deficit.

Everyone has been sitting on the housing bubble, and that blew up. Basically this "wealthy American lifestyle" was a fudging of asset numbers. Kind of like me buying a piece of land, the land supposebly goes up another 300-500%. That land isn't real goods, you can't sell a home outside of the United States. The difference between cars and houses was supposedly one appreciates and the other one always depreciates. What happens when you have too many houses? Exactly what happens when you have too many cars, it sells cheaper, then no one wants to buy them.

The end? America might be dissolving as it is, rumors say we might be with Canada and Mexico... but the truth is that America is just a pawn being used to dominate the world. Whether politically or by force, we're just tools being used. We have nuclear threat and we don't want others to have it. We think we can spread democracy and tell others what to do in their own countries. We think we can fix terrorism, that's a never ending battle. We think we can defeat Al-Qaeda, but that's another name for a never ending battle. We think all the countries should be united in a New World Bank.... but that's another way to control other countries.

All countries need one thing, even 3rd world countries, or countries just trying to survive, and that is a labor force. Even without much of a functional government, you need labor force. United States people think we're worth more and unions think we're worth more and we refuse to work for less.

No wonder why all our jobs are outsourced and companies sneak mexicans across the border, WE THINK we're better and deserve better, when in reality we need to overthrow our own dumb *** TOO big government, and let the free market fix and create jobs. The more the government funds the people who are supposed to get new jobs, the more it digs our "borrow and consume" economy in the hole. When people stop loaning us money (which is damn soon since our debt is too high) that's when you'll need one thing.

Your gun to protect yourself from others getting what you have.

Think about how people felt during the great depression! Times were much worse back then compared to now... They had worse wars then us, think about it, they were smack in the middle of two of the worst wars in our history, WWI and WWII, so they had just exited WWI which ravaged the hell out of the world, and had WWII to look forward to! To top it all off, everyone was homeless and people lived in Shantee towns that were comparable to the ones in India! No one had a job and unemployment was at its highest in US history...

Murder was up higher then it ever was and even the cops were crooked, so you couldn't even depend on the law to come through.

Makes our time look peachy and filled with sunshine and warmth.


Our economy is going to recover in a few years and we'll be out of this hole. If the US was able to come out of the great depression then we can get out of this, especially now that we have so many over seas supporters (well, compared to then)...

Also, what about the cold war era where we came as close as you can possibly get without actually going to nuclear war as humanly possible. Some people really don't know how close we got to exchanging missiles with the USSR... It was literally a 50/50 coin toss decision. It came down to a submarine captain making the call... but he was out of communications range so he had to make the call, and imagine how paranoid our guys were since we thought that the USSR was really going to launch their nuclear missiles... So yeah, that was a friggin rough time... Imagine thinking that the Russians were going to nuke us at any time... F' all that, I'd be so paranoid, so much more then I am now, hahah...

So yeah, we're not in trouble, at least not like the many times we've been in a hole in the past 100 years.
