This is bad news. If you're not worried, good for you.

The whole world should be worried. If we crash, there's gonna be riots(and wars) worldwide.

IF we make it out of this, you are going to see a massive change, and not for the best. Countries are gonna distance themselves from the US. Sure they love how much we consume(money for them), but our days of unlimited consumption are over and they know that. You're gonna see countries distance themselves from the dollar(dollar is the new peso), and while I am in the minority on this, I think the trade deficit is gonna go waaaaaaaaaaay down as countries start sending their goods to other regions and Asia concentrates on providing for themselves.

We are about to enter an era of forced isolationism.

We will have near zero imports as we destroyed our manufacturing base and moved it to China so we could save a nickel at Walmart. That was a huge nail in our coffin. We need to start rebuilding our manufacturing base ASAP. I know we don't have the money to do it, but things are gonna have to be cut to ensure its achievement because this country will die without it.

We have to stop buying from other countries. The days of buying american beef jerky that's made with cows from Argentina are numbered. It was stupid to begin with.

Also, illegal immigrants have to be dealt with in the next couple years, even if they have to be forced into labor camps or war threatened with Mexico. There's nothing here for them anymore, so get the fuck out. Illegal immigration is going to drop naturally in the coming years as those people realize coming here is worse than staying home, but we have to deal with the ones currently here.

The public has wanted a lot of these reforms for years but the government didn't care. Now that we have bankrupted ourselves into irrelevancy, the reforms are coming no matter who resists.

You hear about Obama wanting illegal immigrants to have health care and get Social Security benefits. Its true, but its just pipe dreams. There's no money for any of that liberal garbage and everyone knows it.

The irony is the supposed leader in the era of globalization is going to be on the outside looking in as globalization and whatever era is spawned from that passes us by.

We are fucked. Permanently.

Oh man, the hits just keep coming from Mrs. Palin. She apparently said that dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time:

These are non issues in my opinion. Those types of beliefs don't have any bearing on public policy. Reagan thought we were living in the end times. He didn't nuke Russia or Israel to illustrate that point.

Liberals making huge mistakes going after these types of things. Questions Palin needs to address is what she would do if thrust into the presidency immediately, her stance on a Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia meddling in Latin and South America, China's growing influence in Asia, the North-South Korea armistice and whether or not we should continue the status quo since the two sides seem to be more friendly towards one another, how she would get us out of Iraq,etc.

Dinosaurs don't need to be on the front burner.
