Probably true of most of the first world countries.
Watch to the end.

That pretty much puts it in black and white. Hard to argue with him on that one... Embarassed

What can you say to that...as Bushy says...black and white, cut and dried.

Cheers, Vince

What is most galling is we've actually done this to ourselves; by implementing unsustainable policies, short sighted, greed driven outsourcing & allowing capitalism to degenerate into casinoism.
Our financial institutions aren't investing any more; they're inventing complicated wagers rather than reaping the rewards from investing in enterprise.

Don't take it too hard though: 100 years ago, Great Britain ruled an empire far greater than any ever before, yet today we are a nation that is struggling to pay its own way despite still being the 7th largest economy.

The US economy is still first & more than double that of the next largest - China, though for how long depends on whether or not manufacturing of REAL goods continues to be exported to feed the greed of the money men.

There's a lot more wrong than the above but it's far too much to bring up here (& too damn' depressing too).

Took Obama 3 1/2 years to really mess things up, so I hope that President Romney can put us on the right path in a shorter time than it took Mr. liberal to screw us over.

By the way, Jeff Daniels is a bleeding heart liberal, but he did give a good speech.

Romney is part of the problem, rather than the solution.
He's a politician & as such will promote policies aimed at getting elected, rather than those needed to turn the US onto a different course.
What's needed is a radical conservative rather than a reasonable Republican.

Unfortunately, come November you might get neither. Sad

You can always vote for the libertarian, Johnson. All we need is another 20% of the votes for the majority.

Paul, how do you come up with 20%?

bet you Johnson is asking himself the same thing.

Bushmaster · Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:48 am Post subject: Re: Thought provoking

Johnson? Who's Johnson? Never even heard of him. That might be his problem and the 20%.
