curmugeon | time for real change....

This piece from the New York Times is a must read.... we are entering a time where we need leadership and all we can look forward to is partisan political posturing, Obama got a taste of what America is going to experience when going to the G-20 he was rejected on all counts. Seems the world sees us for what we really are and laughed. We are quickly becoming a third world nation, we have become just a place for China to dump their goods and for Americans to become slaves to a dying system of capitalism. As the author of this piece says, when the crash comes there will be a lot of pain, and it won't care if you are Republican, Democrat or some fringe party, it will hurt.

Time to wake up, time to demand more, time to pay for our lack of foresight and bad government. Consumerism isn't going to save us. The government isn't going to save us, unless we change who we elect, and how we think. Don't wait till we find ourselves being told how to live by the IMF and World Bank, and our creditors, like China, are striping this country of resources to build their exports. We are the laughing stock of the world, all swagger and nothing to back it up. There is no military solution to this. Wake up...
