Every American citizen should be outraged at what is happening to our country:
It is time to channel our collective outrage fatigue and turn our country around. America became a superpower on the backs of a thriving industrial base. Manufacturing and production was a success domestically due to hard work, ingenuity and lack of competition from overseas industries that were recovering from the bombs dropped on them in WWII. Since the end of WWII, the rest of the world has rebuilt, caught up, and now surpassed us. All-the-while we have been fed tales about a transition to a service economy, and the promises of free trade, as we have sunk deeper and deeper into debt. Something needs to change folks! Our current economic path is bankrupting us. Our policies have rendered us industrially impotent. The solution to this is not- like some suggest- to let our currency fall to near-nothing to boost imports- it is to reinvigorate industry to compete in the world and strengthen trade laws to combat countries who ‘cheat’ on trade. Contact your congressional representatives and channel your outrage fatigue. Demand that they wake up and take action, before it is too late. Click here to contact your Representative in Congress.

Remove all incumbents for starters. Insanity, doing the same thing over, and expecting a different result.

The primary problem with Americans is that they love to blame someone else for their problems. Both Democrat and Republican politicians have been "serving" only themselves. We need to quit voting for a party and begin voting every incumbant out of office. That, in the short term, will rectify the problem. Quit baming someone else! You, in voting for a party, are the problem! flotsamoverbd

Why are people so surprised about the loss of jobs and importation of illegal immigrants? They help lower the cost of doing business by undercutting Americans and unions, accepting lower wages,and working as compliant slaves for their masters. Its far more profitable than using Americans.
Realize that this is now the nature of American Culture. Business always has and will come first and people will come 2nd or lower as long as Proift is the motive for human endeavor. The culture of the USA has been retooled to be a fundamentally materialistic and conservative and religious nation that blindly pays homage to multimillionaire televangelists on Sunday only to worship and envy the superwealthy for the rest of the week. Every country has its national character and philosophy and the USA used to be admirable in many moral and humanitarian ways as a guiding light of democracy and an innovator of new things and a brave nation that would stand up to and oppose evil as it was loved around the world. But folks that was 50-75 years ago when FDR was the president. The USA has chosen a very different path, and seeks now to be a belligerant world bully. A nation of torture. A government of secrecy and Constitutional violations. A nation where short term business profiteering and billionaires are lauded as the most important policies and people whom politicians should consult. These are our American values that have been chosen intentionally in preferance to other goals and values. All of those who welcomed in the Conservative Evangelical revolution have helped make it so. So, we should not be surprised to see the natural effects of these choices. |
