What I'd like to see if we go off the cliff, is peaceful protests and the determination to vote out of office every member of Congress. It won't happen though because people don't give a damn. juju |

Well..it seems to have worked, which is in itself surprising to me since i always felt the American people had more sense, i was sadly mistaken. One of the main problems with the Senate at the moment is Harry Reid. This party loving old geezer is taking our country hostage by only passing what he deems necessary and shelving all the rest of the ideas mainly because most of the ideas being submitted were made by Republicans, his arch enemies it seems. To watch the man when he comes to the floor to speak in the Senate, is just appalling. Most often the first sentence will always have to do with how he just can't understand the Republicans and how they are just ruining our country or something to that degree. Then he starts the finger pointing and repeating all the old lies about the other side while always managing to leave out how their party has been sitting on their laurels for the past six years or so and do absolutely nothing for our country, they cannot even pass a budget..or do not even care to. To this man it all comes down to party, he is fighting a war of words and wits aimed directly at the Republican Party not caring a bit about what is actually going on with our country it all comes down to hate for the other party for him. He is literally holding the Senate hostage for his own selfish hatreds..bills are not being passed..business as usual is not being taken care of because of one person and that is Harry Reid himself. If the man wants to do something great for this country he should resign immediately and let someone who can do the job without partisan or personal leanings take the office that he was given. The political repercussions of his inability to lead are becoming quite apparent. Instead of doing his job and passing or failing bills that our nation needs to keep moving he would rather sit back and blame the other party about everything under the sun ..make it look like everything since the dawn of time has been the Republicans fault and let the media think that the reason we may go over the "Fiscal Cliff" is all the other parties fault, when in reality it is nobodies fault except the majority leaders in the Senate..Mr. Harry Reid..an outdated dinosaur with a bad disposition. Reid claims that the Republicans will not work with them ..that is a lie..he refuses every suggestion..every offer..every bill passed by them...and then openly mocks them by laughing in their faces..he wants us to go over the cliff...it makes their job easier ..to turn America into a third world country .. Its all just a big game to them..they are all puppets ..some with more power than others..their goal is the redistribution of all of America's wealth to the rest of the world..at all costs..and their puppet master is George Soros..you don't believe me? Obama was handpicked to be President many many years ago because of his skin color and oratory skills...divide and conquer..the new world order brought to you by the United Nations via George Soros is at your service.. All hail to the Great Destroyer! and God Help us. Last Edited by PolarPrecursor on 12/27/2012 01:20 PM "Power Corrupts" |

"Compomising" with Barry is bad because he starts so far to the left that a "compromise" ends up being a radical leftist's wet dream. Hang on, it could get bumpy.

Quoting: juju When bums off park benches and illegal immigrants can vote for President then this is what you get..the Obama administration purposefully targets minorities and illegals to get their votes ..legal or not..they never seem to get called on it..if they do it is being squashed somewhere. The whole thing is like some hideous nightmare..it is time for immigration to be reformed..they are called illegals for a reason..because they are here ILLEGALLY! They do not have the right to vote in our elections and should not be allowed to stay in this country if they are illegally here..simple truth! To let illegals go to college here on the taxpayers dime is completely ludicrous! When our own citizens have to pay through the nose and end up with a lifetime of debt to attend the same schools. The times of America the "Melting Pot" are over! We have all the people we need here and need to change immigration laws to state that..or our country will eventually fail..they know this that is why they are turning their backs on it..they count on it..that is the only reason the man got re elected or even elected in the first place because of illegal election practices..

The game will continue even IF we go over, with the printing of more money, more taxes being introduced, MORE spending of money borrowed from China et al. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17552394 Personally? I think we should have fallen off 4 years ago when ObushMa passed the first bail out that did nothing.. People need to realize it all FAKE money.. Its tied to nothing but faith.. When certain people believe it has worth, then the sheeple follow.. The best advice this AC can give is to prepare.. Mentally, physically, and spiritually to live off less.. Less of the wants.. Less gadgets, gizmos, and TV's.. More concentration on the NEEDS.. Like, water, food, and shelter.. Its gonna be the wild fucking west and I cant wait for all the rich over indulged fat cats to be poor just like the rest of us.. The beauty of that scenario is that MOST of us are already used to living with less.. The rich fuckers will starve out quickly when all they can afford to eat are potatoes and beans instead of fancy cheeses with their fancy wines.. I say fuck em.. If we ALL stop going to work, refuse to participate in the game, the game is over.. Like flipping over the Monopoly board when you know the jig is up.. I "wish" the people as a whole realized our true power.. The US Corporate machine would stop if the grease monkey quit greasing.. I hope we do.. Ron Paul was our chance at a leader.. Now, its up to us.. No matter what happens the rich will still be rich! Keneh |

It's become a powerful commodity in recent years and they know it, I just wished the public would wake up to it. Those who have jobs are afraid of losing them, those that don't are afraid of being raided. The self-employed fear repercussions. Hold on the ones you love, even if you don't like them. ![]() |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1447583 12/27/2012 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This isn't really a bad thing. It just means we pretend like its 1997. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29752593 People seem to think the world will end. Nope. The dollar with strengthen, prices will drop on goods. Sure the market will drop, but it was inflated anyway. If we go over the fiscal cliff that will cut a whopping $120 billion a year out of the deficit for the next ten years which is currently $1.2 trillion. This would mean our debt would increase by $10.8 trillion over the next decade instead of $12 trillion. As for the Simpson Bowles plan, it's set to cut $4 trillion in deficits over the next ten years. Instead of running a deficit of $1.2 trillion a year, our deficits would be reduced to $800 billion a year. This assumes that business don't go under and tax revenue doesn't falter. The plan is also reliant on interest rates staying at near 0%, same as the automatic spending cuts/tax increases from the fiscal cliff. Also, currently, every 1% increase in interest on the national debt adds $165 billion in expenditures to the current fiscal year. Our national debt is $16.5 trillion currently and $122 trillion in unfunded liabilities. The dollar won't strengthen, interest rates will soar, inflation will soar (meaning a higher cost of living) and the price of everything will drop in terms of real money (gold and silver). Normally higher interest rates stave off inflation as higher interest rates encourage saving, lower demand and reduce the velocity of currency. But everyone, in due time, including Americans, will lose confidence in the fiat USD and we'll suffer a hyperinflationary depression. |
