The $8.5 Trillion Suicide Note

We're throwing good money after bad and impoverishing the consumer in the process. Seeing as how the USA has a consumer-driven economy, this is a formula for a Depression.

why do people continue to explain politicions as being ethier engaged in a conspiracy or stupid? Like every mistake in the last 50 years is because govt is stupid. Is it possible that they are simply doling out money to their buddies? Do you think looting is only for poor blacks hispanics ?

If they're "looting" that would fall into the "conspiracy" category. A conspiracy is an agreement to commit an unlawful act, usually combined with a step towards carrying out that unlawful act.

Governments of the world (with handfull of exceptions, mostly in Scandinavia) are just plain corrupt. There is not much of stupidity here, it is more matter of interests.

Uh... the bailout wasn't 8.5 trillion dollars. The Bush and Obama bailouts combined were still just under a trillion dollars... May want to check your facts first before "informing" others.

The idea that bankers can meddle with the general politic is not a new story. The great depression was invoked by the american plutocratic elite, they didnt lose then, as i am afraid they wont lose this time also. To accept that the politicians you vote for, are the navigators of the foreign policy that drives your nation into global conquest, is to deny the continuity of you true true ruling regime. This regime is represented by your leading politicians, not your people.

So in this case it is not conspiracy, because they are bending the law so that it is not an unlawful act anymore.

All the total overpriced Haliburton deals where highly immorale but they were within law.

I just want people to think that possibly people you never meet and never see might just might represent the interest of other people that they do meet and speak with and people they have benifited from. But I don't want to argue I was only making a comment in passing and I agree with your general statement

[enape311]

If this is business as usuall meaning how Govt has been run for hundereds of years it kind of fall out of the catagory of what we call a conspiracy. Meaning the pop culture idea like the 911 nut jobs. Also I think that what they are doing is leagal, that is the problem. My main point is people tend to give politicians the benifit of the doubt assuming they have out best interest at heart and when things go south its because their dumb. The most wealthy, powerful govt is full of dumbasses

The US can and won't breakup, ever. After the Civil war, it was made so that no state in the country could break away. If a state does break apart, however, then the military will be used to bring the state back to the country.

The whole breakup theory is a bunch of communist talk from a russian who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Oh, and this russian also predicted a break up of the US in 2007, but did it happen? NOPE!!!
