04.08.11 | i'm pretty sure we're going to be cutting out all funds from anything that isn't necessary. for example, national parks will be temporarily shut down. that kinda stuff. i think. |

04.08.11 | sonic, here's what's going on.
Benjamin Dick-licker Bernanke and Alan Smallballs Greenspan have been printing money for years and throwing it at insolvent (insolvent = broke due to stupid/selfish banking decisions) banks who have essentially lost the money through more bad loans so more money was printed....the cycle reiterated itself about 30 times. so now the government is like "oh wait, our money doesn't just fix everything and it's losing value and we owe like 13 trillion dollars to the world....shit" so government workers are gonna be as lazy as usual but just not get paid for it. |

04.08.11 | It's called too many public servitude programs (welfare, medicare, s.s.), too many wars over seas and "policing" over seas (if you need examples you weren't born in the last 70+ years).
In other words, we are witnessing the cardiac arrest of an empire. It makes me sad, but at the same time it makes me feel good because at this point in time we COULD change for the better.
I'm hoping for the better.
Besides, it'll be a long time coming before the centralized government we have in the states shuts down. Anyone that is freaking out about a governmental break down is buying into media bombast and not letting reality set in. Welcome to Y2K all over again. |

04.08.11 | @iFght- take it all the way back to just prior to Wilson's term. Then add in the fact that without Versailles there wouldn't have been a Hitler. Without Wilson there would be no central bank in the States, and numerous other issues. Can't blame the problem on the symptom, which Bernanke, Greenspan are part of, and the American citizen being a comfortable lazy follower is the cause of.
Can't have them without the participation of US. Nicest people, but the most gullible.
That gullibility/ignorance turns easily into arrogance, which is big problem. |

04.08.11 | yeah I guess but it still pisses me off that two of our nation's most influential economists seem to be awfully unlearned in basic economic principles.
Get Defeater in here so we can have some real good econ chats |

04.08.11 | the government is broken, and it will never get fixed because it would take "radical" changes. |
Jruined
04.08.11 | I'd rather the populace learned that economics isn't as dry as it's made out to be, nor as esoteric. It does get complicated but the basic principles that are flouted on a minute by minute basis here to the good of the top .5% is what really needs to be understood. It's really not that hard to understand, the nuances are the issue but with the basics down, you know when someone is fucking you right hard.
If someone can understand the idea that a broken window doesn't create jobs only more debt, then they can get why inflation of a currency is a baaaaad thing. |
Jruined
04.08.11 | Also, back to this. Why not cut down on our overseas spending. Right there that would handle a substantial chunk of our domestic. |
Jruined
04.08.11 | Also as an addendum to my prior comments, are any of you in the states going to die if the central govt. vanishes? Your whole life will end and crime will run rampant in the streets? If it went away for a short bit it might be a breath of fresh are, because everyone would realize that "MY GOD LIFE DOESN'T END WITHOUT SOMEONE TO DICTATE IT!"
Just saying (and using bad punctuation). |

04.08.11 | the lack of people that follow sonic's philosophy are what's wrong with 'merica. |
Jruined
04.08.11 | The fact that people get comfortable and the herd mentality is prevalent is the problem with 'merica.
Sonic's philosophy should be followed everywhere. Then we'd all be laid well, living life to the fullest, and musically satisfied. Problem is, you'll always get that one douche who gets 10 other douches to think that they need need to regulate and subjugate everyone else in the way. And those 10 other douches will get 10 more, who will get 10 more, etc. |

04.08.11 | It's basically America is finally feeling the brunt of it's currency that isn't worth the paper it's printed on, shits starting to hit the fan! |
Jruined
04.08.11 | Can't have a fiat currency without the peoples consent. At least not for long, so yeah, what you are saying is a huge problem, but it's only been brought on by the peoples lack of interest/enjoying being told what is good for them as opposed to deciding that on their own.
