HAHAHAHA!

Who decided to invest in the United states. Who decided to jump on the train of growth and success? The world did. And now, as we desperately try to fix the brakes as the bridge is out ahead, everybody wants off.

They used us for our wealth. THEY are in fact the parasites. You didn't HAVE to do anything. you made a choice and now its going to bite you in the ass.

Why is America going down? Frankly i think its because the population of IDIOTS has actually grown into a nice chunk of the population. More and more undereducated morons are reproducing. Whether that be the idiot who decides to drop out of high school, or the gang members,or the OH-MY-GOSH Teenager with a brain the size of a golf ball, or That 10 kid family Mrs Ramirez has going who she can barely afford to feed.


i mean, just look at the people on the street the reporters question. Everyday time they question people off the street, half of them are completely oblivious to damn near everything happening around them, much less whats happening to the country. And people like them, completely oblivious with half a brain, are still given the right to vote on issues they know nothing about, and often mimic those they see on television, like nut-job Bill O'reilly.

OR, those who do care about whats going to help them keep a job in the economy are ultra-loyalists to whatever party they're in. They think in terns of "Under no circumstances can the other side get what they want".

And with whose money that "wealth" have come from? Your government have chosen that its better to loan from others to fund their action while letting people to enjoy their practically (for some) TAXFREE income.

If you don't like it feel free to cash in all your US investments and put your money in Russia. I'm sure it will be much safer in Putins hands than ours...

Thank you for you recommendation but I would rather invest that money to somewhere within EU like France or Germany. Not perfect choices but better than U.S. in my opinion. However I do not happen to be Minister of Finance or Primeminister so my possibilities to change anything are not very high.

Meanwhile I think it would be good for all of us to listen some instructional music.

Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
! Lyrics are available here if you need them.

I agree. The United States must end it's parasitic ways and wasteful use of resources. I would start be ending the billions upon billions of dollars spent on foreign aid to places like Africa, the Middle East, Israel, Greece, Lithuania, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Serbia and, oh say, Russia.

On a much smaller proportionate scale I would ask that the UK follow suit

Australian Dollars may be your best bet $1.10 US to 1 Aussie last I looked ,then again probably be easier to leave the US as the main one so we can just keep on buying stuff cheap in the interwebs
