Americans Are Delusional!

As Frank Sabotka said once ... we (America) used to make stuff ... these days we just have our hand in the other guys pocket.

Without a manufacturing base, or endless resources to sell, America's decline will continue.

Money always flows towards those that actually make stuff.
that is the key-They took our jobs !

LOL... American's are Natives.
Most of the "American's" everyone in the world hates are hardly 1 generation removed from the countries they ESCAPED from.

Europeans come to this continent, destroy it, and then bitch about "American's" ruining the world. We are your relatives. Your cousins. Most of us are British or French to begin with.

So if you really want to talk who's screwing the world look to the LENDERS!!!

We are so quick to jump on the banks that messed up the market. But doesn't that just make China the biggest bank of them all. You know what would help America? If they'd stop lending us money! And force congress to cut out all the overhead.

Politicians cut funding to things like parks and schools because they know that they will get a public outcry to support the schools with more money. There is so much middle management in gov't that all they'd have to do is cut the fat and stop tricking people into spending more than 35% of their earnings on a failing establishment. Its terrible what they do to get the money they want into the hands of their friends. They cut public services because they know it'll piss us off.

Also, doesn't anyone recognize how the gas price hike at the end of the Bush administration is what really screwed us? Gas goes up. Commodities goes up. The average family has to spend more to get to work, and more at the grocery store on a loaf of bread. This increase creates a society that can't pay its mortgage because they are now spending 30% more on all the other bullshit. People stop paying mortgages, the banks fail because they set it up wrong also, and the entire cluster fuck goes out of control.

This economy is the direct impact of the Bush oil cronies making their money.

Fortunately I worked for a semi-conductor company as a purchaser at the time. I saw the cost of metallics increase, so I advised my entire family to invest in Gold, Nickel, Copper, etc... We did very well in a down market.

As a Native American (30%) I am offended when I hear foreigners claim that the problem is Americans. The problem is the European Narcissism and their inability to cope with the fact that THEY populated America. We were doing just fine, partying our asses off, until you jack offs showed up.

... so, are you saying that 70% of your ancestors were/are "jack offs" and that the minority 30% of your lineage is what you claim to be?

I guess just growing up in my family is where I get that from. My Grandfather was 50% Cherokee, my Grandmother a 75% hodge podge of various norther tribes. That made my Dad about 2/3 Native, and with my Mother's Scottish/Irish/English genes that diluted my blood to where it is now. But going to visit Gma and Gpa was a very Native experience and I guess I've always identified closer with that side because of my upbringing. I can't do anything about where I came from, but I'm glad to have at least that much of a disappearing people in my genetics.

And yes, at least 70% of my ancestors were Jack Off's.
I have a very common "Black" last name, despite being a reddish/white, you see it on the back of sports jerseys all the time...
My father's side of the family is from Pre-Civil war Alabama...
You do the math on that...

So I choose to identify myself with the minority of my genetics because of the SHAME I have to carry around for what my Raping, Slave Owning, European ancestors accomplished while on Earth. I am grateful I exist, for sure, just shamed.

The last part I can blame is my true American Heritage and it pisses me off to hear Europeans refer to American as a Nationality when referring to the non-natives. This is a land of Immigrants. What little real American is left should not be blamed for the current state of the world.

For you it might be Semantics. But for me, I just hate hearing it, sounds ignorant. Go figure... Ignorant Foreigners... Calling Americans: Indians... And Immigrants: Americans...

What you are missing is that there is only so much money, the rich are amassing it at a very accelerated rate, depriving the underclass of any opportunity and making it harder with each passing day.

If you are referring to Money as Dollar Dollar bills Y'all then you do know they can create as many as they want at nearly no cost to them , right? In fact this week they will create 9 Billion more and give it to the Government to deficit spend. And it will only take the stroke of a key to create all 9 billion.
