Its just more lies. The baby boomers payed taxes all along. Now its time to collect. Government mismanaged these funs and filled their pockets.

[UnderstandingCuresMe]

All of those baby boomers payed taxes in their lives. So now the government should have saved that money to pay them back. Its government that mismanaged the funds and the people should not be held accountable for governments carelessness. Now government is simply trying to confuse and shift the blame that its the people's fault. Classic swindle of lies so government can keep power over the people and keep dumbing them down.

@UnderstandingCuresMe

Yes, the baby boomers paid their taxes and the government mishandled the funds but how was this possible?

Perhaps if the baby boomers who kept voting for these government representatives had paid more attention to what was happening we wouldn't be in this mess now. Unfortunately, as this post shows, most would rather whine about the unfairness of it and continue the cycle instead of accepting that they are just as responsible as the twits they kept in office...

[UnderstandingCuresMe]

@JustAGibbonsMonkey You fail to see how things really work in America... In politics, you can make whatever promises you want to achieve an office, and when you get in, you can do what you want. The people can't impeach or remove or even hinder any decision because their voices are squashed. You give up all of your rights as an american if you vote someone into office. You relinquish your voice to them. The only way you will have a say so, is if you run yourself and are appointed.

Federal Reserve Propaganda!

[mickyboy200768]

do you remember what george bush tried to say ,but the idiot forgot the words (fool me once shame on you ,fool me twice shame on me) well g bush , his war profiteering friends and jewish lobbiest have fooled america over and over ,

[vanfarowe]

Amen the amount the debt the federal government has and expects future generations to pay is immoral.

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

Notice they say nothing about the FEDERAL RESERVE's control of money and credit as the cause of our demise. Elitist propaganda.

[FriedDaisy]

Does any one think the manufactured financial crisis that's costing a few trillion dollars has something to do with the Federal Government & those who underwrite it trying to get out of the 7 trillion dollar debt it owes in medicare & social security to the hard working baby boomers- who were heavily taxed to pay for these program - when they retire?

If the powers-that-be had to make good on these programs the investors can expect decreasing dividends; and you know they can't have that!

[gow75]

wow, look at today god they were so wrong. fucking idiots

[esoeso122]

Interesting.

[hsbc55]

A Generation of greed gives up debt about as easy as a Generation of war gives up hate Good Luck USA

[lordgaladedrid]

medicare, social security, derivatives, lerveraging....the entire system is going to expolde - and its going to be sooo messy.

[505badgolfer]

There are millions of Americans who have been dismayed about the state of government finances at least since the time of the Grace Commission in the 1980's. Great public servants such as Pete Peterson and David Walker have tried to warn of the impending crisis to no avail. Millions of Americans have voted for politicians who have promised fiscal restraint - but after being elected they ignore all fiscal responsibility.The financial promises made by American politicians are simply not sustainable

[lndac02]

Americans have kept voting in politicans who promise tax breaks without wondering or caring how these politicans are acheiving the breaks. The Repo man is at the door of America Incorporated, and he wants all his money back!

[Tsyoka]

Be careful Indac02...It's not JUST the tax breaks. We also have a system of unsustainable social programs to consider as well. If you focus just on the tax breaks, you blame Republicans. If you focus just on the Social Programs you blame Democrats.

The reality is that BOTH parties have completely abandoned any semblance of financial sense and make promises to the American people that are completely ludicrous.

It's not a Red vs Blue issue... its wise vs foolish; sane vs insane....

[lndac02]

thats a fair point Tsyoka. Both parties are to blame. I blame the electorate mostly for not holding the executive to account. When Presidents from Reagan onwards have been giving away money...People should have asked "how is this going to be paid for"? Shipping out jobs to china & Mexico hasn't helped so the big corporate giants are also responsible....the reason..GREED everyone wants the good life and lots of money without asking how they got it.

[xXU2BerXx]

I totally agree Tsyoka. Both parties are taking this country down a path that will inevitably destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights. One party advocates big government (Democrats) and the other advocates the big corporate model(Republicans). Middle America is being destroyed at the hands of this big gov/big biz model which by definition is Fascism. Our founders would be appalled at what has been done to this country by the powerful elites on Wall Street and in Washington DC...

[jimmnaca]

I love how only 11,000 people have watched this, yet 50 million have watched all the Rhinna videos. Americans truly don't care about the real issues facing this country

[jnycnuk]

the wealth of america will start to move offshore since the rich don't give a damn about the country that gave them the wealth. the poor will be left to fight for survival.

[tomwatkins49]

I hope Americans, haven't become so self centered, that we will await a sacrifice free solution, facing the problem too late to avoid the ship wreck.

[Hiyisal]

With the number of extraneous items in our saturated, drunken culture of excess, we don't even know the difference between "Want" and "Need." I hate to say it, but Karl Marx kinda predicted this because the capitalist system is run by those who can guarantee short-term gain to already wealthy investors. Who are those people? Corporate owners and legislators who operate on the time line of quarterly profits v predictions or re-election season. Unless we learn quickly we and our system are doomed.

[lndac02]

stop shipping jobs to india/mexico and start buying home manufactured goods would also benefit the ecomony. America has a love affair with anything made anywhere but America. All the Mega rich countries have either a lot of oil in the ground or a giant manufacturing base. The only way out of debt is to make things in the USA and sell them to the rest of the world Like the USA used to do so well. Mostly export not import like the Chinese do.

[bitchaches]

It is more feasable to import good made abroad. we simply cannot compete with nations that have labor that is a fraction of our own. Do you tink we can succesfully make products while paying workers 10-20$/hr while someone in another countyr can do as good of a job being paid .10$ an hour?

what we have to do in the US is continue to lead the world in research, technology development and innovation. in addition to having realistic financial policies that doesnt thrive on consumerism.

[lndac02]

Agree with most of what you said, however a country like the US cannot wholly on development and innovation to employ a wide cross section of skills. for too long western economics has relied on people spending money to keep the economy moving. there is a debt factor built into this way of running a country. its time people started choosing home grown/made products to stuff made in china/india/anywhere else. China/India will end of running the west if we carry on in debt heaven

[nHautamaki]

I live in China, so I know what kind of lifestyle Americans will have to accept if they think they're going to compete with the Chinese in manufacturing. Do you realise that 6500 people can live in an apartment block that takes up the same space as 16 houses in a suburb? And their apartment is within walking distance of the factory so they don't have to have cars. That's the kind of social reorganization it will take for America to compete with China. Good luck!

[lndac02]

I found that comment truly depressing. forgetting all the ecomonics and fiscal issue, that is disgusting that the chinese government is not trickling enough of the wealth down to the workers that they don't have to live like rats in a cage. I have always found it ironic that china is supposed to be run along communist principals is the now run like a capalist's paradise but without the same freedoms as a democracy. workers no matter where they live deserve a decent quality of life,

[Licmycat]

Uh...he said the ss recepients never see the bill, that's not true. My mom gets a bill from every time she goes or has medical, and if she's billed WRONG, the authorities are notified. I can't put too much faith in someone that doesn't know this.

[Licmycat]

Is this why we are being poisoned by corporations?

[CL33Zero]

Borrowed time... and we are running out...

[zoltron30]

the american govt, not al-qadea will destroy america

[Ba101]

BTW. how does "the secret" fit in with all this? Does any thinking person believe we fix this by just thinking positively?

LOL.

[BoobyTubenevky]

Wake up Guys, vote Republican again and even "Friend Countries" will be against you...

ML (Canadian)

[CruiserCT1]

I'm not sure I understand you completely. This has no singluar relationship to a political party. It is both parties. This needed to be stopped under Alan Greenspan's area, under President Clinton, and all the president's and congress' before and after them.

They let it go and let political action groups rule. Now we are in a financial mess because of their and our irresponsibility.

[latinoheat300]

um, if america doesnt pay,who is gonna do something about it?

this is a country, its not an individual you can take to jail

[jaspeers]

IT'S GOT ELECTROLYTES!

Go rent Idiocracy. It's a documentary about people like you.

[latinoheat300]

um, idiocracy is not a documentary,it's a comedy, not very successful one i might add.

[Ba101]

true. But it makes a point.

[freddymedal]

Wasn't a success, but god we are headed there.

Where's Upgrade?

[litxlit]

If we don't pay, other countries will stop lending us money to buy their goods and oil.

Then we dry up and blow away. Without oil, we couldn't even attack them.

[theliquidstupid]

You don't quite grasp it, bright eyes. When resources run low, the balance of power in the world shifts.

Not jail - war. Enjoy that thought.

[latinoheat300]

not my problem. i'm already in the china camp

GO CHINA!

[worthlessdollar1]

"not my problem. i'm already in the china camp

GO CHINA!"

^^ I doubt you could even name the Chinese President, you ignorant fucktard.

[latinoheat300]

hu jintao. took me less than 2 seconds as soon as i read your comment. oh, are we doing juvenile insults now? retarded cunt

[worthlessdollar1]

"hu jintao. took me less than 2 seconds."

^^ So claims the silly prick, more than 10 hours later, lol.

"oh, are we doing juvenile insults now? retarded cunt."

^^ And without a hint of irony, lol.

[latinoheat300]

yeah well, my life doesnt revolve around this 'discussion' and you have a point, i have no way of proving i am telling the truth, guess you'll have to take my word for it.

Irony? nah, irony would be if i said 'i would never fall down THAT level of juvenile insults, retarded cunt.'

[worthlessdollar1]

I agree with you on one thing; my life 'doesn't revolve around this discussion' either. Adios.

[AhWibble]

This bailout idiocy has done nothing for the present, will do nothing in the future, and has amplified the historical cowardice of elected leaders.

Raise taxes, cut spending. No it now, or there's nothing left. Period.

[Phreestylgurl]

you think???? didnt take a brainsurgeon to figure that out...just look around you...big fat woman/men driving big fat gas guzzlers living in big fat houses.

[latinoheat300]

dont worry, ull get a big house someday!

[Phreestylgurl]

i didnt say i was innocent LOL

we are all part of the problem. i can go into a store and buy shit just to buy it..and i might be negative in the bank...GO FIGURE

[ewjomega]

We're finished.

[ATAINC23]

Just laying the groundwork for the future Amero. It's all contrived. If this office was so legit, he'd be telling people about the Fed and asking why in the hell we're borrowing in the first place. People are like sheep and they'll be led right into the collapse and right into the Amero trap. It's pretty much done anyway.

[Carlstens]

The last straw fell on the camels back this weekend... Fannie & Freddie will bankrupt the Govt. Watch Wall Street this week, either will go up (wrongly) thinking Federal Govt. can absorb this... OR will crash!
