Anonymous Coward User ID: 1289092 Sweden 03/17/2011 09:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not close to collapse, it's past that, the US has been collapsing for some while now, not sure where to draw the line but it's obvious that the economy is being propped up people... by their blood, sweat and tears and their futures. It's a collaps allright, just isn't showing in the financial ecnonomy, but in the physical. I'm not even sure if it stops there, one could argue that you've been experiencing a cultural and moral collapse as well... but that's another story perhaps. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1289655 United States 03/17/2011 09:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Will the U.S. dramatically implode like the U.S.S.R.? No, but we [and the the western 1st world] have gone through and are still experiencing a very major financial crisis brought on by serious fundamental under-lying economic problems, that are not being seriously addressed. Example: the too big to fail banks and corporations are getting even larger and are consolidating their power like never before. And of course the public and private debt problem is severe. We are IMHO heading into basically 'Lost' years, and who know how long it'll be before we get back to pre-autumn 2008 normal. Maybe never. Worse case scenario: we slowly, steadily decline; but that's something that'll take decades. |

The US economy is definitely in bad shape but who knows if this will ever result in a full-blown, in-your-face collapse. They seem to be hell bent on making back room tweeks, altering reports for the best PR, and dishing out "everything is A OK" news blurbs. You and I (the average citizen) may never actually experience anything more than poor employment prospects, and increased fuel and grocery prices while life goes on and on in a never ending loop of celebrity overload. Or, TPTB might actually lose their grip on the reins and all bets will be off. Either, Or... Who knows? |

Quoting: MillillionEverything is fine! Nobody is bankrupt. Even we are not bankrupt. It's a HOAX. Go back to sleep. Even with the Great depression you could find some jobs that you wouldn't normally do. Now with every damn country being flooded by illegals with all that multiculturalism trend and acceptance and shit you can't even do that! I guess people will have to resort in eating each other soon, after welfare and unemployment benefits runs out for everyone. |

How big or small it remains to be seen. Nothing is visible yet because the sheeple don't know the inner workings of the economic cabal and the hidden system they created. I am pretty sure they are leaving the people to die there from radiation until they have a plan set for the cabal to cover their asses before they have to abandon their assets and find new alliances and THEN and only then will they start telling the truth about how bad the situation is over there. I believe every system that they can use as an asset they have created to their liking, for one reason or the other will be falling like dominoes one after the other while they will still be striving for the multicultural globalization shit until they plunge all the world in to chaos because they will not be having any other alternatives to retain control. God help us. |

I work in a hospital, so I see a difference there. People being "fired", but many really just being redeployed. It is far too understaffed. Most people are stressed. Low morale was reported in hospital staff: no surprise there. Hospitals are working to going private, but they won't admit it yet.

It is very hard to get back to a healthy econamy but it is possable. If everyone was educated, the way a perfect world would run, we would not have problems with jobs. |

In fact even Heroin would be better! UK basic economic fundamentals are pretty dire. Basically, all the UK's economic eggs have been put in one basket, the City of London [banks, financial services.] The UK also has few natural resources, and has a high population density. The U.S. is also in dire straits [not the band!] and I'm not minimizing it by mocking the UK. But, the U.S. in and of itself, minus exports, has a huge home market, is rich in natural resources, and simply has more to fall back on than the UK. At the end of the day, the U.S. is self-sustaining. It has the capacity domestically to grow it's own food, supply it's own energy, etc., And yeah, Sweden legalized child porn [literally; I'm not talking teens...I mean children, 5,6,8,10 years old] during the entire decade [or most of it] of the 1970s. |

Damn, ain't it great when the countries worst enemies are the leaders! I so wish we would kick the f*ckers OUT! I'm guessing we'll see that this was part of a bigger plan soon. JFK tried to do away with secret societies, but they got him I'd say. Either way you won't get many leaders that would stand against them.
