    I wish this video would go viral. I would love to see it spread around more. I can't in good conscience vote for either a Democrat or a Republican. Neither is for anythhing I espouse. I am Looking toward Libertarian reps thought tye require more homework.

    What I want to know is why are we all supposed to carry ridiculous amounts of debt just to keep the Gross Domestic Product gross?

    ^^^ hmmm, considering that foreign investors now hold something like 50% of the outstanding US Treasury bonds, US mortgage bond paper, stock in major financial institutions doing big business in the USA etc. are held by foreign investors, half of 'Joe Sixpack's' debt payments wind up flowing out of the country don't they ? On the flip side, the gov't (i.e. the IRS) was smart enough to make sure that they got their 'cut' of 'Joe Sixpack's paycheck before anybody else (including Joe !)

    ALCOA is possibly being sold to an Australian corporation. So there goes the profits from that staying here and the loss of the white collar jobs to overseas too.

    If I put Ron Paul links and Libertarian links in my Sig line would that be inappropriate?

    I'd say it's more the case of vultures circling ! But hey who can blame them ? The US dollars which have been flowing into foreign hands for the last 20 years are worth less and less every day, as the US gov't continues to print new money and spend it. From the point of view of a European, earning 7% on a US dollar denominated paper investment is actually a loss when converted back into Euros. Who can blame the foreign investors for wanting to get something of real value for their US dollars instead of more US dollars in interest and dividend payments ?

    PS the smart 'rats' are getting their US dollars converted into something else of real value too !
