Economic collapse is on us
We American people need to take our heads out off our care-free asses and put our nation’s interests at our hearts. I know that I am dreaming to even think this as most folks aren’t even aware of the economic crisis that is on the news. Sure, many have heard it on the radio between their favorite advertisements that they are concerned with---but, it will come to the forefront in the long run and these people will learn to be more cognizant and involved many years from now. Much suffering and economic soul searching will happen before such a change will happen.
I predict one of two things in the near future---- economic collapse with hunger and desperation, and/or a war. It will probably be both. The idiots that control our country’s destiny will be looking at such unrest that they will probably have to start a war to re-focus the masses that are at their throats so-as to retain power.
As I pointed out in my last entry to this fine blog, the Wall Street short sighted geniuses that shipped all or our technology and jobs overseas and the paid off politicians that tried to sell our port security to the Arabs of Dubai and allowed us to be sold out at every juncture have created a future for our country that is not reversible and has lead us to need to adjust our standards of living and factors of production (labor costs, material costs, and capital costs) to fit in with India, China, Africa, and the other nations that produce the items that were sent form here to there to do so. We will humble to the world’s economy quickly and become pliable to it to crawl back into economic stability---however meek and different that it might be. The longer that we fail to accept our new world position and economic misfortunes, the longer it will take to stabilize our system and act as a nation again. A real leader will be needed too to take our masses to his bosom and give them strength to trust. That leader is neither Obama or McCain. Palin might be there and in the position and have the balls to act and also be old enough in ten or fifteen years to lead for real. McCain is too old and Obama is too ignorant and has no fiscal sense at all.
I so wish that I am wrong but I can’t see any other scenarios.
Perhaps I should lead us out of this mess but the $700 billion bailout bill would pale to my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bill that I would stick the taxpayers with if I was elected!
