We have the government we deserve. "E'erybody in Cleveland gots da ObamaPhone" and "Obama's gonna pay for my gas and mortgage" voters are not interested in the personal responsibility part of the pogrom. Others who want .gov to dictate to others by force how they should live their lives are not suddenly going to vote against that continuing, either.

When another country becomes powerful enough, we will lose our "world reserve currency" status, and that will be that. Our fiat money will be worthless, and we will be relegated to the ash heap of history.
Yeh, I agree, but for NOW, who in hell is worth a dime MORE????

Saudi??? gimme a break, WE can break then in about a day....
