Financial Collapse

Not stepping on mine, Stretch :smile:

Wonder where all the rich bankers will go when they realize that they have to live in this world too - not like they can take their filthy lucre and decamp to Mars.

Appropriate title and interesting link. THX. ( had not seen that one before )

so in keeping with the theme:

Debt Political Theater Diverts Attention While Americans' Wealth Is Stolen

by Dennis Kucinich
The rancorous debate over the debt belies a fundamental truth of our economy -- that it is run for the few at the expense of the many, that our entire government has been turned into a machine which takes the wealth of a mass of Americans and accelerates it into the hands of the few. Let me give you some examples.

Take war. War takes the money from the American people and puts it into the hands of arms manufacturers, war profiteers, and private armies. The war in Iraq, based on lies: $3 trillion will be the cost of that war. The war in Afghanistan; based on a misreading of history; half a trillion dollars in expenses already. The war against Libya will be $1 billion by September.
Fifty percent of our discretionary spending goes for the Pentagon. A massive transfer of wealth into the hands of a few while the American people lack sufficient jobs, health care, housing, retirement security.

Mars would be too close. They should inhabit Pluto. IF only. Won't be long before being rich will be a negative. The level of impoverished are increasing with tragic speed.

IMHO........if ever "we the people" need to be aware and as informed as possible, it is now.

Meanwhile the politicians in Washington continue to bicker like irresponsible kids. Wonder what last ditch effort they will come up iwth in the next few weeks. They certainly are not known for planning ahead...

If you're that concerned, it's easy to buy silver and gold bullion, but I think you're about 6 months too late.

as you say, it is too late. Sound advice as it might have been at one time.

Should we NOT be concerned.?? Not saying outright panic. (plenty of time for that if needed ) Me thinks we as a collective population have become far too complascent in allowing the leaders spend like there is a perpetual money tree.

Ocean Breeze, you appear to be a very convincing bloke.

Please be the first pioneer to Pluto and I am sure lot of people will follow you.

Since time is of the essence, the sooner the better.

What are you waiting for?

Bring oranges!!!!

are we to assume that everyone in Canada is gainfully employed ?? ( those of working age that is)

We might make sure we take care of our own before opening the doors for others who might decide to come en masse. .Particularly those from the "best country , richest country on the planet)

I hear them complaing but I don't see them filling the 8400+ jobs available.

A big chunk of the those require skills and high priced educations. If you are past you prime in the construction trades there are 50 jobs between Lowes and Home Depot alone.

HINT: ALL empty potash and Canadian grain cars that are on the roll are heading here. Bring a tent....and Oranges!

A friend called it intentional demolition - they win, you lose. The present monetary system has run its course. It has nowhere to go but down. A new system will replace it but again, those who control it will win and you will be allowed to think you are winning but you can be assured that you will be their slaves through dept no matter what system they come up with.

Lenin called it leveling and the Fabian Maoists have never been stronger.

When China and India are their own best customers what will they need us for? Stuff they can eat or iPons that they can copy for $3.75 ea?
