I know. We are getting the financial response to bailing out AIG once more. It is a futile cause. Let it file Chapter 11 and have another successful corp take its place. We are indeed reaping what sewed in Congress with a 1100 page bill that hardly anyone got to look at before passage.

 

the system i was refering to was Capitalism

The world is capitalistic.  The only way we would switch is by a neo-USSR invading and taking us over.

 

really, youd only accept a different system if it was forced upon you?

The way I see it yes.  Even then there would be revolution to bring back capitalism.  Capitalism is what built this nation and the sense of making yourself better--the American Dream.  Even Obama's socialistic tendencies will not scape away what is ingrained in our hearts and mines from generations before us.  USA =/= USSR.

 

i wasnt aware that self improvment was only about money?

 

 

lol.

 

you SOW seeds, those seeds grow up into plants and thus you will REAP them in the future.

you SEW buttons, but I don't know in any case where you REAP buttons.

 

1. The economy peaked in October 2007 and has been steadily going down ever since, during Bush's administration and continues on until today. Obama was correct when he says he "inherited" this problem.

2. The Stimulus Package didn't blindside anyone; Obama talked about it during his entire campaign and it was debated for weeks before it was passed first by the house, and then debated and finally passed by the Senate. The USAPATRIOT act, however.... well that's a different story ^_^

3. I actually agree with you in just letting some of these institutions fail. I will have no love lost if AIG ever goes under. The same goes for any of the American Automakers. American cars lagged behind in quality to the Japanese and German automakers for the longest time and the United States should just let them fend for themselves.

4. How is Obama preventing people from trying to improve themselves? 41% of the EVIL STIMULUS PACKAGE is tax breaks, mind you, and some other billions are reserved towards tax credits for student loans and stuff.
