America today is not the only empire, but it is one that has consistently formulated itself around the ideologies of corporate business, the military, big government, and religious self-righteousness, mass marketing itself and mass exploiting others with

This administration has created money that isn't there so that we are trillions of dollars in debt - yes, we are in recession but somehow the corporate owned media manages to keep most Americans from knowing that they are in a recession - I heard someone say the other day seriously that the debt is decreasing - I'm sorry but when the national debt is in the trillions and decreases even a trillion that isn't even news....people are just ignorant as to what is happening now in their own country and as to who owns their money, their banks, their corporations. Most are just struggling to live and raise their families and exist in a system that cares less and less about the middle class and the PEOPLE of the country every second. Horrific doctor/insurance company stories abound because there is no good health care here - that is a myth. The middle class has no time to think about bigger things like the gov't is running away with itself and is a wannabee dictatorship - there are bills to pay, not enough jobs left here at home that pay decently, health is precarious - you get sicker if you have to be hospitalized and who can you trust anymore - not your gov't and not your health care system. I remember being much happier w/my country in the 50s - yes, it was happier for only some of us, and I realize that now. What I see now is that this is the country I love and it's being destroyed from the inside out by a self-centered administration and people who for the most part do not understand what is happening. They do not realize the extent to which the media is infected. They have bought into much of the propaganda so far in regard to the election: Hillary is the DEM winner, Edwards doesn't exist, Dennis K is nuts, Obama is Muslem (and he isn't) and all we hear about positively are the stupid Republican candidates...it's disgusting.

Dear Jennie your point is well taken. All I know that as ression is in progress here many factors are involved. As you have mentioned jobs are disappearing and middle class is almost going away..hard to make two hands meet..here is some thing as I read that US has gone this far with borrowing power through globalization...but it has also brought US on the brink of losing the status of being the most powerful and strong military power in the world....I think China or who knows Russia or even as US most trusted ally Israel will come in power. We are foolish as this man has taken us to this state of "Bankrupt US".

peace

George is even now on the news saying our economy is fundamentally sound. What an ass. How can it be when we have jobs being sent out of the country as fast as greedy businesses can send them and our manufactories are closing at an alarming rate!? Tried to buy something that carries the MADE IN THE USA label lately? And if something IS "made" here, it geenrally says "made of US and imported ingredents."
