Neocon & Globalist Economic Lunacy, by J. A. Davis

"...all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." ---Declaration of Independence

"The current mentality of most Republicans is support the party position regardless of the consequences.... .It's time for a change." ---J.A. Davis

We've warned it could get worse, and sadly, it has.

Our trade deficits continue to rise at levels that are almost incomprehensible to most Americans. I wonder if anybody cares.

Surging oil pushes trade deficit to all-time high
AP - 9/12/06

This simply means that every month that rolls around we send almost 70 BILLION dollars more out than we take in.

Suppose your family budget went just 700 dollars a month in the hole every month for a year? Try five years as in the case of the U. S. government. How long can you stay afloat? How long can America stay afloat?

Our currency is in shambles world wide. Nations like China play games with us and manipulate our dollars. Our stock market reflects it as it remains listless robbing investors of more billions every month.

The neocon Bush administration does little to abate the source of the problem. They speak of talking with China. The truth of the matter is they developed the problem by making it profitable for U. S. firms to close manufacturing in the U. S. and take it overseas, making what used to be exports into imports with the bucks going out, and no longer in.

Even the U.S. and Georgia governments export jobs overseas that Americans should be doing.

American citizens continue to be more interested in other things while the nation goes bankrupt. They continue to believe that neocon Republicans are their friendly 'conservatives' and will continue to reward them at the voting booth.

A day of reckoning is coming. Sooner than you think.

There is no way we can continue to issue trade treaty after trade treaty with no quid pro quo. The idea of giving trade advantages to freak nations over the world has got to stop. The idea of supporting big business with our dollar deficits so they can sell cheap goods and pocket huge profits.

The chickens will come home to roost while Nero fiddles away. They always have.

If you really care, check out your own congressmen and check their voting records on NAFTA, CAFTA and all the recent treaties our generous government has enacted. A clue, get a barf bag, because you're going to need it.

Had enough yet? You haven't got that much more time until your bucks are worth a lot less than they are today, as in when China pulls the plug on the U. S. debt being held. Don't think your mortgage or car payment will decrease. Higher interest will prevail and in most cases you'll be paying more with less. History has recorded many such eras known as recessions and depressions.

It's the old law of supply and demand. When the money supply dries up, it becomes very expensive.

God help you if you have seniors in your family trying to live on a fixed income.

What ever happened to the pride of "Made in America?" Ask Walmart, they know.

It's time for a change.
