The Average American's day

So, with most of our manufacturing now gone, just what DOES America make? Trouble, mostly. With 4% of the world's population and 18% of the economy, we have 50% of all the lawyers, all looking to make a killing by looting those few industries that still call America home (like Microsoft). Kids don't want to be scientists and engineers; they've seen how little such people are valued in our country. Based on recent history, kids see the "big bucks" are in corporate law, specifically investment banking, leveraged buyouts, greenmail, junk bonds, in short what other countries describe as "trying to make money grow by shaking it side to side".

With America's ability to actually produce products that can compete on the open world market in decline, it's no wonder that the balance of trade is the problem it is. Nobody buys our export products because we just don't make that many any more, and like or not, we have to buy our appliances from the people who make them, which are NOT Americans. (When Ampex invented the VCR, they didn't even bother trying to find an American company to make it, they immediately sold the rights to Japan).

the aging of America's population means fewer people are working and more retirees are at home watching TV.
At the same time, women have become a larger share of America's labor force, but tend to work fewer hours than men do.
A growing informal economy may also not be captured by government surveys.
With less time spent at work, Americans boosted the portion of their day on fun
activities.
According to the latest American Time Use Survey, released Thursday by the Labor Department, the average American aged 15 or older on average spent eight hours and 44 minutes snoozing last year.
That's just one minute more on the previous year.
However, New Republic notes the young and old are skewing the data by sleeping more than nine hours a day
That includes eating and drinking (1 hour, 15 minutes), shopping (43 minutes) and leisure and sports (two hours, 32 minutes).

almost $18 trillion fed debt

together with Personal Debt, Individual States Debt, Medicair, Social Security and a bunch of other BS the total US debt climbs to around $100 trillion

Federal Reserve "Incorporated" is printing non-stop since 2009, tripling the overall $$$ cash supply

Federal government is artificially keeping inflation at a minimum

because of this the Federal Reserve is artificially keeping interest rates really low, close to ZERO :)

Now, as soon as this US DEBT BUBBLE blows the f*ck-up, inflation will soar, interest rates will rise, and USA will not even be able to cover the monthly interest rate payments

which will lead to a DEFAULT

Nothing can stop this, because The Federal Government and The Federal Reserve, instead of allowing the Debt Bubble, the Stock Market Bubble, and the Real Estate Bubble to completely burst and go through the natural cycle....

they have chosen to keep blowing up the DEBT BUBBLE through printing US Dollars and manipulating inflation/interest rates on paper.

When this FINAL bubble bursts, what happened in 2008/2009/2010 will look like a walk in the park.

And the question is not IF this will happen, but WHEN it will happen.

This global financial Tsunami will be really freakin devistating folks...

...so be ready...2014...2015 at the latest...the hugest financial bubble (total US debt) will blow...and will bring Tidal Waves that will truly be devastating.

:tiphat:

The majority of what we make, and sell is made in the US.

Big business has systematically destroyed the American Economy.

Thank greed for this. :)

But let's not forget that if america replaced it's troops with care giving medics and it's insane military budget with food aid then it could probably still save the world and not help score another touchdown for the devil.. the inbred so called "elites", those that conjure billions with clever words and spells and sway mass opinion daily,, creating, controlling and destroying resources at will, endlessly practicing eugenics by stressing those that threaten their control over every last square inch of this planet..

42 out of 43 presidents are related and if it wasn't for the incalculable amount of poison getting into the american people they would see these things..

your steroid, growth factor, riddled meat and your gmo round up soaked corn are designed to rot your guts and give you diabetes/alzheimers/parkinsons various cancers and tumours, auto immune problems,, inverted corn syrup and so much bad fat and starches in everything,,, your water has damn flouride in that crystalises your pineal gland and hampers synapse efficiency.. at least 50% of americans are on medication that they should not be on doing massive damage to systems in the body not least your liver that has to clean these man made chemicals out of your bloodstream.. the list goes on, fracking chemicals, so called "dispersants", radioactivity.. oh and your animals are fed the same gmo corn you are making the whole process deteriorate humans even fatser..

and that's just a teeny fraction of the physical pollution,, it's calculated on almost every level as is the mental conditioning and associations driven into the nations psyche..

And it has been that way for more than a few decades now,, what is worrying, horrifying even really, is that we are going the same way in europe across the board...

It has been made epitome of the concept "circus and bread".. whilst rome burned the people watched the gladiators ate their bread and drank their beer.

Does not bode well for America; America is the Roman Empire V2.
You have slipped into sloth and complacency while other countries like China are hungry.
The thing is America has the worlds most powerful military; watch out if America is backed in a corner fighting for it's survival, a wounded beast fighting for it's life can be dangerous and unpredictable.

The Chinese are on their way to surpassing us scientifically, economically and militarily. Eventually. Their high schools and colleges are ranked something like 20 countries ahead of us in terms of math and science. They work harder than us, and as much as I don't like their government I have to admit they're smart about fiscal issues. We're still the world's leader in terms of technology. We're still the number 1 superpower. We won't be forever.

We're not like the Roman Empire. We won't be overrun by Goths and Vandals. Nuclear weapons mean we won't be invaded and conquered. To me it seems like we have more in common with the old British Empire. The UK is still a great country, but it's not the dominant world power it used to be. The US will be around for a long time, longer than we'll all be around I'm sure. We just won't be the dominant world power forever.

Having said that, there's still a lot to be excited about for people in the technology industry.

"america" is always dangerous and psychopathic doesn't look like the pentagon and private corporations hiding as agencies like the cia/fbi need an excuse to do the most unconscionable things from what i can see..

"fighting for its survival"

what in a country that has never seen a foreign army on it's soil?

that has over 1000 military bases dotted all around the globe scarring the earth?

and that tortures its own people far worse than any body else would even bother to imagine?

even some distressed "islamic terrorist" (every americans worst nightmare!) would just want you dead they wouldn't torture you for years like the us "government".

so funny this "wounded beast" has nuclear missiles and so does all of its so called "enemies" and "friends" ,, that's Mutually Assured Destruction..

We had foreign troops on our soil in the War of 1812. It has been a while.

I want the US to have a strong military; I was in the Army myself. I just think we should use our armed forces for self defense. We should have closed the foreign bases and brought the troops home a long time ago.

The devil's horns pics with the presidents and the pope are awesome by the way. Did they listen to Black Sabbath too?

true but i said army not troops, proper conflicts not just paranoia..

though the british troops did eat the presidents steak, steal his clothes for a laugh and burn down the whitehouse.. The current one is as freemasonic/catholic/roman as is possible..

seems to me the real founding fathers like Jefferson wanted arms for the people to protect from the tyranny within and potentially of government, not standing armies which is partly what people fled to america to escape from in the first place..

the poison isn't coming from outside it's inside and has been there for a while,, and it's the same here in europe,, the blue blood royalist inbred banking scum are like an STD and we all have them running our governments and corporations.. if you want to clean your house you don't go out in the garden and start kicking leaves around..

lmao yeah they all listened to sabbath,, even these guys

Has USA ever won a war ?? on there own without a coalition you may be shocked to find the answer is really no they have Not,, Stemming right from the war on independence France needed to come help ??? ask your self why did we need the french ?? The royal British navy ruled the seas .
: excessive or superior power
2
a : an extremely powerful nation; specifically : one of a very few dominant states in an era when the world is divided politically into these states and their satellites
b : an international governing body able to enforce its will upon the most powerful states

But lets get back into Super Power I really like b
