I see it as part of the great plan .....
Let's face it .... the US economy is crashing. China is quickly becoming the world financial power. It took Japan 50 years, but China will do it in five years, because of technology.
There is a huge shift goin' on and the pain is being felt everywhere. Imagine the pain that people in third world countries endure when the price of oil fluctuates to 55 bucks a barrel?
When Americans feel under seige, they will accept anything. It serves the US government well to have it's People feel that they are under attack by anything and everyone. Thus; they are more likely to accept the huge "police" presence they are now taking within our personal lives.
The crash or re-distribution of wealth to China is going to happen rather quickly, but not painlessly.
The Americans are a proud People. They will blame all the chaos on everyone else in the world. They will become more adamant that their way must of been right because look at what they get in return for all the years of kindness they gave the world in the past. They will just resent the rest of humanity moreso than now.
The media will push them along this path. Sort of .... "Trust your government because they are the only one's left who are on your side."
All the social programs are going to be downsized. All the promises which government made to it's People will be withdrawn. It will all be blamed on everyone else, but Americans.
Imagine IBM selling China the whole Ka-Boodle? They even sold them the "intellectual" properties! Wow! That is how desperate the US economy is.
No one of any consequence wants to remain on Bush's team. They are leaving in droves. No one wants to be branded as being in the Whitehouse as the economy crumbled.
Anyone with money will need to live in gated communities with security at the gate. The rest, will fend for themselves, just like the 30's.
Not everyone starved in the 30's. But there was pain.
And in Canada, our prime minister is off travelling the globe and spouting-off about some grand "ideas" ..... not policies! Just grandiose and candy-ass plans for everywhere in the world but at home!
Oh! my, he looks so postive.
Meanwhile .... Bombardier stock fell 80% during the past 3 years!
I sure wish Paul Martin would find some great ideas for what he is gonna do for Canada's economy.
The charade is over! He has a 45 billion dollar surplus in the EI fund and another 11 billion in fiscal budget and he thinks a raise in minimum wage or assistance for the desperate poor is an "idea" of the past!
Calm
