If our economy fails, ...I fear a far worse outcome. If our economy fails, so goes Europe, China and the Middle east. Now when economies get bad, people get angry and wars get started. Look at the global economic conditions preceding World War 1. Look at the economic conditions preceding World War 2. We had horrible economic conditions worldwide, and America was in the thick of things both times. Most historians say oh we were "neutral" before WW1 and WW2. I take issue with that because we sold arms to both sides before both wars. If you are supplying both sides to fight a war are you neutral or are you for both sides to fight it out. don't let those who rewrite history get away with doing so anymore. That is one of America's biggest problems. Comunists that run the education system are rewriting our history books and that must end now!!!!!Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-42652400260149228772009-07-28T14:51:39.963-04:002009-07-28T14:51:39.963-04:00Joel: Unfortunately, you are right.

All one has to do is look at Zimbabwe to see where we're headed if things don't turn around.

But no, that is bad, it is the rest of the world's turn to prosper and in order for that to happen, America must step down to the level of a 3rd world country to make things fair. The problem with that mentality is that the world is not fair and nothing we can do will change that.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-2491849759497889702009-07-28T13:17:11.649-04:002009-07-28T13:17:11.649-04:00The people that are running the government grew u...The people that are running the government grew up in the era of credit cards.

In my years there, every August, the end of the fiscal year would come and the city employees would get sent to spend all remaining money so that the city could get that same amount of money next year. The city workers were literally given the city's credit cards and told to max them out. These things you are listing are evidence of the same activities at the state and national levels.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-2673394210166018532009-07-28T11:40:18.927-04:002009-07-28T11:40:18.927-04:00I go "WTF" whenever I find out what they...I go "WTF" whenever I find out what they pay for, propose to pay for, or say they're no longer paying for "to save" money.Snarky Basterdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823805913522030434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-32819487092489758912009-07-28T10:16:12.246-04:002009-07-28T10:16:12.246-04:00I'd like to have the red pen and the "lin...I'd like to have the red pen and the "line item veto" over spending in a number of those agencies - oh, would the liberals howl.<br /><br />Most of it is pork and stupid spending in the first place - then again they're spending other people's money so WTF - over?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-36830676803368727402009-07-28T08:52:40.905-04:002009-07-28T08:52:40.905-04:00You should see the whole report, Clay.
