The first time I heard casino used in comparison with the economy it was with Max Kaiser.

Wow! I so very much want to see this documentary "American Casino". So much those motherfuckers in Washington, D.C. do behind the people's back. What a corrupt system the U.S. form of government has become!

Other thing you can do is work hard to kick out the 'corporatist' incumbent senator in 2010.. keep the grayson, franken and the like but boot the other.

Those were able to get in .. so its possible, get more like them in..and you can have change

[moestietabarnak]

Already, you should fight wallmart..that would be a start..

Funny, with so many screaming for 'more competition' and 'less government' .. protectionism is quite the opposite

[moestietabarnak]

I'm not saying everything is just right .. I'm saying close your border and it wont be much better...

It's a balancing act..

The Problem is believing you are capable of being the Father. We are the children, not the Father. And if our government is the Father, its lying Cheating, thieving deadbeat.

We the people are feeling a backlash now. We are out of Work, Our Wages have not kept up for 30 years, we are Losing Homes and starting to live it tents. It matter not who beats you down, you are being beat down. Man, optimism run deep with you.

ok, little parable for the 2 year old..

Let say you prepare food on the table, your kids is well feed and is not hungry,, then you spot hungry orphan.. you get him in and you divide the food in 4 part ..your kids eat 1 part as usual, and the hungry orphan eat all the other 3 part...

Your kid will think its unfair, but you, as an adult, you know there are other thing to consider. (right?)

Be protectionist and you will suffer the backlash from the other country, its a balancing act.

I said a 2 year old having since of fairness.

Guess you have never played with a 2 year old...  Each one wants a turn in the air and the one that does not get his turn, knows all too well and you will hear about it..

Our workforce rather than crying about what was going on, believed the line that there were better jobs waiting and that our economy was dynamic... Yeah Right. our economy is dieing and people like you who still want to say "it not so simple" will be waking up hungry.

[moestietabarnak]

Lol, a 2 years old you say ?..

Show me ANY two years old, I'll present him(her) with a lead-painted toy from china..

Then we'll see if indeed he/she KNOW.

See, unless you have a genius child.. it is a big more complex and pragmatics than your simple mind can graps .. (a two years old minds grasp of thing appear to be what you have)

[asphyxiafeeling]

these greedy corporations just remind me of small children trying to break the rules, and the government is the neglectful parent that gave in to bad advice and allowed it.

[btigtime2]

If this continues, our standards will fall far below anything you are going to recognize, and your children will not have the choices you enjoy. Wealth is Freedom, right now your Government is running up a 12 Trillion dollar debt. When does that become less complex. Every dollar leaving this country is that much freedom, choices, opportunities for your children. We need to swipe way wide or else.

I just can not believe people like you do not see what the Treasonous Government has done to us

[btigtime2]

Fairness is not Complex... A two year old knows when things are not fair. And with this Global Market built by corporate banks, our trade is Restricted and theirs is not. Our COL is not even in the same comma bracket with the rest of the world. Our regulations /taxes /insurances are far far above the rest of the world.

Not complicated to understand why we need to instute more protectionism if we are to contunie to funtion as a country.. The notion of a service only Economy is a lie.
