This is bullshit, America has no freedom. And they are not even white any more, America is becoming a third world nation by the day.

Watch this video again from 1:34 to 2:01

Seriously, it's almost scary. You can do those things in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and a host of other countries.

If Americans really don't travel anywhere and they get subjected to this on TV, who can blame them for what they think?

@RebelVoDKa Only white countries allow other mass immigration of other races.

@AlexisCapri Yeah. I can't help but think that if America was so great, then specials like this would be redundant and unnecessary. But, then again, our media constantly tells Americans that every other country is a third-world socialist hellhole. Considering that little tidbit of information, no wonder most American's don't leave the country.

[RebelVoDKa]

Bullshit right-wing propoganda.

He doesn't mention the fact that other countries have immigration too.

@AlexisCapri well said!

but what about singapore, hong kong? many succeeded over there.

[denton1012]

Look at what America is. It is A mixture of everyone in the world. We have someone from every nation on earth here. this is why we succeed in almost everything we do. we have a brain from everywhere on the globe. For example we have a chinese scientist over here working on somthing and he cant figure somthing out, well the russian scientist in the next city knows the solution they come together and work out the whole project. We couldnt have done it without the rest of the world.

you can call it a difference in opinion but logic and evidence shows that business cycles occur when central banks maniuplate/expand credit. this is not the mainstream view at all, but ms views are very often completely wrong. to say anythingn is JUST NATURAL is no theory at all. only austrian economics provides a true theory as to why business cycles occur. if ms economists really knew what was going on they wouldnt be doing so many things to screw up our economy more and more. they r clueless.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

We're running into a difference of opinion here. Business cycles are not natural according to the Austrian School of econ (which you seem to be citing) - but that's not the mainstream view - nor is it the mainstream view that the upcoming recession is (solely) the result of action by the Fed. We are talking fringe economic theory here, especially if compared to the editing staff of the Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times or The Economist.
