Notice who is managing the crisis. Not our elected leaders.

Buchanan via truthseeker: The Party's Over

Patrick J. Buchanan – September 2008
The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people’s wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mark the end of one era and the onset of another.
An unelected financial elite is now entrusted with the assignment of getting us out of a disaster into which an unelected financial elite plunged the nation. We are just spectators.
What the Greatest Generation handed down to us — the richest, most powerful, most self-sufficient republic in history, with the highest standard of living any nation had ever achieved — the baby boomers, oblivious and self-indulgent to the end, have frittered away.

The highest standard of living any nation had ever achieved?

I think not. What about Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, all of which have exceeded the USA in recent times, and even more
so when their universal health care/ pension schemes are taken into account.

You always hear stories of a loner weirdo type going on the rampage with a gun in the US, can you imagine what its going to be like now?
