Well, ladies and gentlemen, here it is. The most powerful nation in the world is now crumbling in economic ruin. Will it pull out of its slump and march on valiantly? Or will it collapse upon itself like the bloated politicians that have come to run it?


Your answers and/or opinions if you please!

so far it looks as if we're indebting our children to the chinese by borrowing nearly a trillion dollars, putting the schip program within the "stimulus" package is weedling us towards full on socialism, and the businesses of america are getting less responsible with bailouts being offered at every corner.

it makes me sad to se her in such states.

I'm fairly sure we're doomed.
Hell, most of the world is doomed.
People want to continue doing the same old Reaganesque bullshit of "Just Say No!" and "Reagnomics works!" without really considering what might REALLY help them out. It's like these people have some sort of death wish towards their countries or something.

I think that it is more likely that we will pull out of it now then say a year ago but it still is a long way off and is gonna be difficult. And with us basically being owned my China these days it's just geting more and more ironic considering we jump started their economy...

we will be fine the economy has done this every 10-15 years. even though never this bad. what we need top do is not panic and spend like we normally would. but less with credit, thats were it all got started.

The Baby Boomers and Gen-X crowd are going ***** about the life they robbed themselves of, the younger twenty somethings and below are going to grit their teeth and deal. I look forward to showing them that the Millennials are ten times tougher than their hippy garbage and narcissistic job-changing life style.

If Japan's economic collapse and recovery is any indication, the banks and lenders are going to shut down every single attempt to control them. Audits, opening their books, etc. Given the amount of bitching the half million salary cap is generating, I'd say the next 8 years are going to involve brutal class fighting. The honest business people who built good, strong businesses are going to be pissed that they can't reap the rewards. But the crooked assholes who ruined it for all of us are going to drag them down with Republican jargon and party-line nonsense. In what will be one of histories greatest ironies, the rich will eat themselves in America.

Government controlled lending is both complicated, potentially unworkable, and will take years to tweak to proper order. We'll have no choice but to nationalize the banks in about 6 years, when the banks are so broke they can't even fight anymore, and then we'll be about 20 years behind China. I recommend studying something useful for the upcoming years.

I hope this country utterly breaks to the point that it needs to be built anew from scratch. We're now reaping what we've sown, paying the price for a life of consumerism and false sense of entitlement.

I want to watch it all burn.

I'd say that the United States will be able to pull themselves out of their economic deterioration. It'll take a while because of all of those people not willing to actually think of what they're supposed to be doing going ahead and demanding a lot of their government RIGHT NOW, instead of in the future. As Obama said in his address earlier this evening, people have been spending mass amounts in order to enjoy their present life rather than investing for the future. And it will come back to haunt them more in the future, especially since so many people will be unwilling (or even be unaware of their actions) to change their lifestyles.

But yeah, people are so quick to proclaim the end of the world (I can't wait for Y3K) that they seem to ignore the fact that people have come through harder times. If I may reference the 1930's...

Edit: Ignore my abuse of the word "future".

Look, everyone bitches about the bailouts and how we're "Morgaging our childrens futures" but if you do the math then people would realize that 1 trillion dollars divided by the US population is less than $5000 per person. I know channel like fox news like to act like its a hole we'll never dig ourselves out of, but if we can be fiscally responsible, we could erase this debt with in the next 4 years. Don't get me wrong, things are bad out there, but they just try to make it sound worse than it really is to fill the 24 new cycle.
