The Economic Collapse of the USA

The Rich Get Richer

Rik Rodriguez
Certainly there are many factors that influence a nations economy, possibly the government and its use and abuse of policies may be a large contributing factor. I can still remember my grand parents talking about the great depression. One could think that because the GNP is less than the debt owed that the USA can some how magically remedy this issue by printing more money and paying the debt. If the government needs more money they print more. Creating more supply therefore making the dollars value plummet . What we are seeing now is that it costs more to produce a penny than the penny itself is worth. I suspect this has been going on for sometime now. But some how we have to look beyond the symptoms of this. I believe that it goes way deeper than just the government the value of the dollar and our standard of living.

Americans spirits are broken, they are not what they once were. They are in general lazy and un trust worthy. I am talking about the average person that lives in the USA. Yes lazy they don't want to think for them self's they want the government to take care of them. The independent spirit that I saw in my grand parents seems to be buried in an ocean of propaganda, spawned by special interest groups with monetary interests in law making. Because the law making effects their bank accounts.

Americans seem to thrive on mis information, in fact many maybe most of them live their life's by it. A good example would be the military myth. Join the service serve your country and we will take care of you and respect you. Truth is you will not get respect being in the military. You will be asked to travel to far away lands and kill innocent people in the name of Democracy and Christianity. When you are in the military they will experiment on you, with drugs and immunizations . Against your will. All for the betterment of your country. Yeah right! All for monetary gain and a political agenda. You will be really not much more than a paid mercenary for a Government that would gladly dispose of you. You are expendable for their means. Just look at the past performance of the USA, we are very destructive. Ask the Japanese people how many innocent people the USA has killed. Maybe its not to late to change our whole way of thinking? Maybe this country can actually contribute to a global economy with out killing people and destroying cities. More than likely not. So the economic collapse will be like a new start for the USA.

Maybe we will even start taking care of our people?

    Ultimately, the human propensity for GREED undermines ALL economic and giovernmental systems. Folks just can't ever seem to get/have enough. Nicely done.
