The nation will be sovereign for decades and centuries to come unless we blow up the world. However, I think it's a real possibilty that Gen-Xers and Gen-Yers are going to see little or no help from Uncle Sam in their golden years.

[FONT=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]"The federal government is bankrupt," Williams explained to WND. "In a post-Enron world, if the federal government were a corporation such as General Motors, the president and senior Treasury officers would be in federal penitentiary."

I loved that line lol, and it's true too. If a buisness was withholding financial woes from it's employees and was more or less going bancrupt but leading everyone on, and then one day suddenly stopped paying employees altogether they'd be in trouble. Actually more than trouble, they'd prob be facing double digits in the slammer.

I don't think this is the worst America's been thru, I've heard stories from my Grandma about the Depression, and the settlers had it rough. I will say tho that at that spending rate we will be in major trouble in years to come if we don't start cutting back big time. Something tells me the true amount of debt wasn't released because Bush wants to end his office on a semi high-note like most presidents try to, and is just leaving it for the next president to tell.

Maybe we shouldn't have invaded a country and started an unjust war.

Maybe we should have taught Floridians how to vote correctly.

 

[Kyalesyin]

I can see this escalating. Never a dull moment on the hype.

 

[The_Mystery]

Maybe we should have taught Floridians how to vote correctly.

And we have a winnner, ladies and gents!!!

Too true. Although, they did manage to sue AOL and win. I'll give them credit for that much.

LOL.

I'm from Florida.

I still say whoever made that post about "everything happening in Pennsylvania"

should try living here for a week.

 

[Abaddon]

LOL.

Don't let your people make that mistake again.

It's nothing to be concerned about, really. Years ago, we were expected to back our currency up with gold, or some scarce commodity; now the treasury can simply print all the money it likes, and if people are foolish enough to accept it, then the ones who are really going to lose are the ones who sold the U.S. government all this debt; i.e. Asian banks.

 

[Kyalesyin]

Nice first post.

It's more than just that. Even without the Iraq war, Bush and the Republican Congress just gave away money like it was free candy to children.
