U.S. Economy and Financial System Bankrupt --What's next?

[MegaBcraft]

We should tell the third world countries to increase their wages and improve working conditions and human rights or the U.S increases tariffs on third world goods. This can bring back jobs and who knows make the third world improve. The only problem with that is it could terribly damage relationships with other countries and also increase prices on goods . Though right now there are little options

[ToiYeuDatNuocCuaMinh]

Muhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

[vijayanand875]

Haha Who is working and who is making money? & who is living wealthy?? Folks don't think this country loves you ..1% of American owns 34.3% of US wealth,40% of our country population owns less than 1% of nation wealth. SOLUTION ''zeitgeist movement'' '' the Venus project'' please check out this with patience.

You need a good book about the economy, look for Ha-joon Changs great book about the myths of Capitalism. Great idea for the elites to read this.

[mcwolfus]

Well the us cannot stay at the top for ever- thats capatalism, you have greeded your selves off the map. lol. You lot should be glad that peak oil/climate change hasnt hit yet.

SPOT-ON Cassandra!

Unfortunately, just like the Greeks didn't believe their own Cassandra, even if I did see this video when you uploaded it three years ago, I wouldn't have believed it, because like the majority of the world at that time, I was led to believe that the economy was good - Usually one can smell whit before one steps in it...But Bush, Greenspan & Bernanke managed to cover the smell, until we all stepped right in it!!

[ursa81]

wow these videos are mindblowing. And mindblowingly correct, as seen they are 3 years old

[singletreefilms]

@ursa81 glad you like... you should see last years and this years... go to McAlvany Financial page... I will be posting them soon too... would like to know what you think.

[buddo1999]

Are you guys in some dream land? You need to read Carl Marx works! This guy in office is doing exactly as he is taught, drain the country in every way you can and then the people will lick the boot straps of those in power when they are at 0.  We then will be owned by every other Nation out there! Come on dreamers !

[shaider77]

Look on the bright side folks if the dollar does tank then Americans would eventually close the gap with third world salaries and help revive a long dead and gone labor-intensive manufacturing base that will create much needed jobs at home. Maybe it's time to brush up on yer sewi\ng skills before the big one hits.

How are you making your money here?

[albc1964]

@@@ Sony8877 I agree. I look sometimes at my dad,s old papers. I can clealy see there was time when paycheck taxes was not outrageous, No Social Security or Medicare Taxes....you only imagine how much real wealth he had at that time. Of course this was quite a while ago....I guess it doesn,t hurt to dream doesn,t it?

Living Simple is Sexy & Smart! Reduce your Stuff Footprint and buy Gold & Silver!

You can't print it and it has been real money for 1000's of years.

if they were not allowed to get into debt by easy credit, then westerners would be forced to live within their productive capacity, the market sorts everything out, stable monetary policy is compulsary for a fair playing field, and that can only be achieved through a free market

[BrandyCody123]

China will never defeat the millions of armed usa patriots and guerillas. No army can defeat such freedom lovers. Even China, despite its genocide of Chinese freedom fighters, cannot squash lovers of God and freedom. Americans, become NATIONALISTIC.

[BrandyCody123]

Asians plan LONG TERM to accomplish their goals. Americans plan by the minute. We do not even see what has happened until it is over because Americans are generally now fat, lazy, apathetic, hedonists. Read Sun Tzu, the Art of War. They have no problem taking us inch by inch without firing a shot.

Chinese men outnumber women dramatically in China. The solution in their eyes: war and conquest (watch out girls).

this was posted 22 oktober, 2007. he was right when he said 6 to 12 to 18 months before the real crisis started....when will it end? I think the game is over for the united states.. sorry

[thekid22585]

This video is probably second to only the Jekyll Island vid & Peter Schiff/ Jim Roger vids.

A great find, I wish everyone had access to these videos. It wont be long before Youtube begins banning these videos.

[lumpagogo]

[pgguy3]

I like seeing these older videos that show the true problems with the economy before the fallout happened.

[racenemo]

Everybody thought there was an alledged war on terror while the REAL terrorists.....

BUSH GREENSPAN AND BERNANKE were ruining the US and possibly the world.

[singletreefilms]

You really have not thought that statement through have you?

[herbertsa]

@singletreefilms

Do you still dont beleave that Bush and company screwed you up?

Then nobody can help you!

[yeehs18]

Finally discovered your channel and now catching up with the the videos. Good stuff and keep them coming.

[losplatosdemaria]

Wow, this video has been up since 2007 and all I see is singletreefilms' comments, except for one. As I very much appreciate vids about the US & global economy, I am heavily opposed to cencorship. I would have liked to have seen other people's comments, whether or not I agree or STF finds them vulgar.Last time I check out one of STF's vids.

[singletreefilms]

Don't know why everyone else's comments aren't here... I am also opposed to censorship but haven't been able to figure out why YT doesn't allow the comments... the prefs are set to allow.

[fabianstraregy]

@losplatosdemaria Who cares what you do -- you're one of the clueless . "Those who see danger seek refuge , while the simple ones keep going towrds danger and suffer for it" . Discernment is key right now for the coming collapse . You can't connect the dots you are therefore DOOMED ! And good riddance . fabianstrategy

[singletreefilms]

You are welcome to make comments and bring arguments here. I enjoy solid, intelligent discussion. I have two requirements however. Never be vulgar and use expletives and don't be rude to individuals. Your comment is being removed for the first rule. Please do visit and bring good ideas and arguments in the future. If you choose to break the rules you will be blocked. I hope we al make it out of the mess greedy people and power hungry idiots have put the entire world in.

[TheAttackRat]

@singletreefilms How much do you know about 'Austrian Economics'?

[singletreefilms]

Well, Juliano, you seem to have a real issue with all of this. I am so delighted you know my ancestry so well. Clearly the chip on your shoulder is huge. I am never offended at peoples thoughts well articulated but vulgarity and rudeness have no place in an honest dialogue. Your comment will be removed and if you choose to be rude and vulgar again you will be blocked. Please bring solid arguments to the table... not emotional drivel. Are you capable of that?

[romyromedog]

even if he.s not correct on everything he said the truth of the matter is still there we have been raped people wake up before its to late for our children.

[singletreefilms]

Thats some righteous thinkin' Bruh! IMHO... thanks for sharing the half-baked! Good visual...

[singletreefilms]

Your statement doesn't make any sense. it is contradictory to itself. Please restate it if you feel like it. Would like to understand your view.

[singletreefilms]

Knock of the bigotry, friend. There are so many channels of corruption from every ethnicity and both sexes that it is impossible to point the finger at any one group. We must deal with integrity and moral structure from an individual and small community perspective in order to stop it. If you cannot see clearly and be fair then please don't make comments.

[singletreefilms]

You have no valid argument in any of your statements. Please refrain from spreading this ignorance and hatred here. If you continue to do so I will have to block you.

[singletreefilms]

I appreciate your frustration but please choose a more creative, less vulgar, non-expletive way to express it. This comment will be removed and I hope you will contribute to the discussion. We are a resilient bunch and will make it through this mess.

[singletreefilms]

I don't know if "entitled" is is how I would describe. Let me attempt. We have a basic education in this country already. It once was very effective but has become cumbersome. Health - We already have many hospitals and doctors who provide free/discount healthcare to those who can't afford it. I am one of them. Most poor people can get out of their situation in America but many choose not to. This is a major problem that Welfare created. All humans by nature are lazy. More to come...

[singletreefilms]

1) Regulating greed would be best.

2) Can't end 2 without ending 3

3) We cannot end something that did not start with us. Evil must be wiped out in order to end agression

4) That is being done. some is successful, some not. takes time.

1,2 and 3 are all issues that begin with the individual heart condition. If evil is not eradicated from the heart of man then they will not happen. Hence we must place a bandaid on the symptoms. Radical violent ideologies will not go away w/o a fight.

[singletreefilms]

Certainly there are those who are overly reactionary on both sides of the argument. I think the problem for me lies in the definition(cursory) of the two economies... one allows me as an individual to excel if i have the work ethic and opportunity and in turn can provide for others out of my own abundance... the other requires that I give up personal opportunity before I even get to it and give control of capital and industry to the state. We have seen how well the state handles that. Think.

[singletreefilms]

I don't think so... we are a resilient and hard working people and I think this will be good for lighting a fire under our gluteus maximuses!

[singletreefilms]

Why do u assume that just because he doesn't mention money spent on wars he is a moron? And sometimes money spent on wars is a necessary expenditure. Please feel free to share your thoughts but when doing so, be respectful of others viewpoints and please don't be rude. This is a rude statement. Thank you for following that guideline and I hope to hear further excellent comments.

[singletreefilms]

Whats your point? Would love to dialogue on something worthwhile.

[singletreefilms]

Not sure why your comments may not be posting... everyone elses are. May be an issue with YT. Sure do welcome your comments as long as they stay clean and don't get rude. Merry Christmas!

[yahoovisitor]

When the national wealth is being thrown out in the 3rd World War at one man's will, collapse of economy is but evident. Imposing taxes to save the country's economy from decline and throwing away all in the war so far resultless will surely bring decline in economy & lose the investor's trust to further invest when loss is evident on all sides. The new president will surely have to see this dark side of the economy and give it a support to stand up as bankrupsy is not at all a good sign.

[singletreefilms]

There seems to be some issue with YT that I am trying to figure out. Several have made the comment lately. All of your posts are showing up on my end and along with my rebuttals. And as long as people are not rude I will engage in discussion.

By the way, thats pejoratives. Thanks for the pity as I have already eaten a lot of food I didn't like! So come on with the free flow of ideas brothah! I can dig it!

[ellibrepensador]

If you just forget America was the top notch that forced the world its way, and stop being so conceded, you would be just ok.

[singletreefilms]

America has been blessed with being on top of the heap for the last 70 years. It is a blessing. However there are many who have not respected that blessing. A travesty for us but the whole nation cannot be lumped into one, as I am sure that you can't say your nation or people group have done all good. many of us live with humility. I would suggest yo do the same. are you from Mexico? I noticed you mentioned Mexicali. Keep sharing your thoughts.

[koollord]

Man, the economy is dying slowly and we can't do anything but watch it comsume us.I'm in college and I've noticing how the tuition has been ingreasing forcing students to take loans. This's is crazy

[singletreefilms]

The point is this, bushisa. I don't think that an educated, intelligent individual needs to use expletives to get a point across. I think it makes one look like a fool. I like what you contribute but your name makes it hard for me to stand by my rule of not using expletives, for which I have blocked several here. I was attempting to make a joke about it but it didn't work apparently. I do appreciate many of the things Bush has done but don't agree with many also. Hope that makes sense.

[singletreefilms]

Beheaded? Based on what? and based on your other comments you appear to not even be a US citizen so you don't really have any room to speak to the issue. If you are then you can say what you want. as to the name, since I run this page I don't like people to use expletives when they should be educated enough to discuss something without them. I think it is a poor use of intelligence. I have the right to both state that and block those who don't want to play by the rules. Thats why it sux.

[singletreefilms]

Certainly there are many in America that need to learn that lesson. I, for one, and these gentlemen, have experienced hunger and working very hard for a living. I still do. And I travel to many parts of the world and have lived in those places, knowing the struggle to survive. We have been blessed by God to have much and as a nation have shared much with the world... though we have also gotten greedy about it. Those to which much is given much is required. I do hope we get better at it.

[singletreefilms]

So what do you mean by this? I believe I posted something about it when you first posted but you haven't responded. Can you clarify or is it supposed to be cryptic.

[singletreefilms]

There are many in America who saw this coming as well. And yes... typically the masses in any country are more like sheep than shepherds... that is why we need people who are selfless as leaders with the sense to do what is right for the people rather than what is right for themselves. And I do hope those who are not aware and in leadership will learn from this situation... but I fear they will not.

[singletreefilms]

Sure... glad you like it... by the way... your user name sux.

[singletreefilms]

What do you mean by this? Please clarify. It makes no sense.

[singletreefilms]

No, it was determined that Saddam had ties to AQ.

The WMD question is still unanswered.

We did not start Vietnam... check your history... and not the revisionist garbage coming out of the current public school system. Go back to the original sources. Please try to bring something worth discussing to the table. I believe you are intelligent enough to do that.

And dozens of trivial conflicts? Please, you have nothing but emotional feelings to back up your statements. Try again.

[singletreefilms]

1) The UN does not have sanctioning power over the US... therefore you are smoking a crack pipe, figuratively speaking.

2) There is ample evidence of connections with AQ and Iraq, despite what you would like to believe.

3) Please, get some facts and an argument of some substance. That is paranoid speculation at best.

[singletreefilms]

Here your logic is completely off. OBL wants Obama in office so he can have ease of operations... not because McCain will follow Bush ideologies. Though Bush ideologies do work for the most part, McCain will most likely take a number of different options available that are definitely not where Bush would have gone. Obama will destroy the US economy very easily without much outside help. McCain will be a strengthener of the economy... Throw out an argument with some substance next time please.

[singletreefilms]

You start with a decent premise, friend.  Then your reasoning falls apart. The issue of deserved rights really holds no water. Chaos and anarchy happen as a result of evil existing, not the act of good people resisting evil. However, evil will continue to strive to gain control through those means. Please restate your argument so it can be followed.

[singletreefilms]

Whats your point?

[singletreefilms]

Over Capacity? I think you mean consumption. What is your point? Please make it clear... politely of course.

[singletreefilms]

Thanks for speaking up... but please don't use expletives to make a point. Again, for all who post, please use good arguments, facts and respect to discuss here.

[singletreefilms]

Probably not the only one. Since Mr. Mcalvany did speak to this as well. and there are some others who predicted this elsewhere I believe. But you clearly were one of them! Glad you have your head screwed on straight!

[singletreefilms]

HerrMoppel

Please check your history. And by that I mean actual history, not the revisionist drivel they teach today. The US has done more to bring economic stability around the world by stopping wars and defending others against thugs than any other gov't in modern history. Your example, Iraq, was the result of thugs attacking us and a thug nation backing them and providing the means to execute attacks around the world. Check you history. Think. Don't swallow the pill.

[singletreefilms]

I appreciate and agree with your sentiments about credit and greed and keeping up with the Joneses. However, I am very strict about using expletives in comments. Please don't drop the F-bombs or I'll not be able to allow your excellent thoughts.

[singletreefilms]

The point is to point out the two most influential, populated countries and acknowledge the others as a whole. Identifiers are quite common in public discourse.

[singletreefilms]

Why would we need to start a world war to settle the world's economic problems? It seems to escape you that the US has become so integrally intertwined with the rest of the world's economies that they are going to all have to work together or the entire structure will collapse. Of course this is the result of the us having rebuilt most of the economies of the world at one point or another at its own expense. Please attempt to make intelligent comments.

[singletreefilms]

Habizabiusa

You are incorrect beyond even discussing. As I have stated here before, it is inappropriate and ignorant to make an argument with foul language. Cease and desist or I will remove you. I appreciate a valid,factual argument regardless of whether you and I agree or not but conjecture coupled with inappropriate comments will not be tolerated... though many have made rather assinine statements they at least refrain from the combination. Thank you.

[rad4life1]

ha! drowning in stuff...the late george carlin had been saying that for years!

Teddy or FDR? I would agree with Teddy but NOT FDR... A major reason we are in the mess we are in.
