Five Impossible Thoughts After Breakfast

Highly polarized opinion. Obviously some here think, stupid, ill-founded, groundless, irrational, with ulterior motives (short the market) and..downright un-american.

The arrogance of the American public is dumbfounding.
Your economy is in absolute self-caused shambles, you have infected the globe with your toxic scams, billion upon billions spent warring on people, while you sat your SUV's or Volvo's waiting for a parking spot at the mall. Gluttonous borrowing for bling and now chastising the rest of the world for doing what you exported as the "way to live". And you assume that this will all just "go away"! That your lenders will just keep sending you their savings for you to continue your unabated self-indulgence. Because you are Americans, the "leaders of the world", that you are too good to save, sacrafice, suffer and (with the exception of your brave young men and women abroad who you have convinced are fighting the "good fight"), pay the ultimate cost of your stupidity and absolute arrogance.

The reality is: that it is over.

The reactions here are emotional because that is where the facts strike: at your fear that your life style is in jeopardy. Well, it is. And you have brought it on yourselves. Your indifference to the last 8 years of lying, cheating and raping of your "middle class", the incomphrehensible redistribution of your wealth etc. etc...etc. And yet you STILL want to live in denial.

Your system is broken. You no longer have the "throne", you sold it long ago...and your reaction is to threaten to bomb or kill anyone who points out your short-comings.

The statistics quoted in this article are only a reflection/projection of what you have done to yourselves. "America, Love it or Leave it" that is your only reaction to your own citizens who critisize your past actions or try to speak of something other than going "back to the way things were".

Your arrogance is dumbfounding.
Your lessons will be long and difficult made so because you have not the sense or insight as a nation to even know where it was you fell off the cliff. You elect a "savior" and you will sacrafice him on the alter of greed when his ideals and rhetorical pablum are shown to do nothing for your markets, or "recovery". You will blame him. That is ultimately why you elected him. You do not actually want "Hope" and Change.....you want it the way it was. Comfortable and isolated from the rest of the struggling world.

Dow to 3000, S&P to 400 Unemployment to 20% and you will get your asses stuck in Afghanistan/Pakistan just like the Russians.

I totally agree with this article.
