(750 posts)With very often advertisements from Ed Shultz or Thom Hartmann says America owes sixteen trillion dollars that will never be paid back then goes on to suggest the market will crash, and its only a matter of time when it happens. So buy gold to protect yourself. Yikes
let them keep their gold because you cant eat it.
Sixteen trillion dollars got flim flamed to the one percent because I sure dont have any of it. So my imagination looked around to see what that kind of money can buy. Sheesh
So, ladies and gentlemen of America we could have completely changed or modernize the American infrastructure two times with change left over.
A new infrastructure likely with everyone connected via the post office with fiber optics in new communications era, all being easier to create small business.
A technology example for the future just the other day I signed up to a free seminar to navigate the Library of Congress. We should have all material digitized so all bills in Congress can be automatically emailed to the electorate to be able to give feedback to our representatives. And have poling for American opinions done open online not secret stuff like they do now.
That would mean plenty of jobs, not big government but a smart government that is way overdue. All that would create jobs with a living wage and a good future could have been the big picture. So now all we get is a minimum wage raise, and a screwed up trade agreement. War as a probability because most American dont know how to read the Constitution or bother to look at legislation to know 911 was fixed to profiteer.
