Bush is irrelevant, who is elected next is irrelevant (if it's not Ron Paul), and who is in Congress is irrelevant, as the true Kings of our nation remain the same, no matter who is in government. Our government is outdated, as it has been transcended by the multinational Corporation, an institution which transcends sovereignty and boundaries and has no morals. Corporations are excellent at concentrating wealth, and with the government's help (by manipulating legislation) are unstoppable. National media is owned by only 6 companies...pay attention to the radio, television, and newspaper, and you'll hear the same stories over and over again.

Liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, rich and poor...words all designed to divide us and think of people in terms of groups instead of individuals. I for one, am an AMERICAN, and that's really all that matters. There is no difference between the elephant and donkey anymore, as they have the same major goals. "Global Warming"? The "War on Terrorism"? They are both unwinnable, and are manufactured ideas to give us an enemy (no matter how vague). We are ruled by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Morgans of this world, and THEY can't be voted out of office.

We need to resurrect the Continental Congress and start over. The government is so corrupt and self-interested that it no longer serves the people. It will destroy itself and us, so the sooner we get started, the better.

And the alternative to Bush was $40 a gallon for gas be/c of carbon taxes for the coldest and wettest winter during global warming. Everybody's comments here today show how uneducated all of you are. The House of Reps holds the purse strings to our government and no President ever has. Look back to when we had a balanced budget and see the person and group who did it. It was not a President nor was it a party. The people in Congress (party doesn't matter) have run this country into the ground, financially. As long as we sit and talk about it and do NOTHING else, we will continue on the course. It's like the wall building against illegal immigration: if we truly wanted it, we would build it. The majority don't so it won't be built. The majority don't care about our situation so they won't change it. Look at our only electable candidates for President and tell me we really want change. They are all of the same mold. When crisis hits we will effect change and until then the sky will fall. No pain, No Gain

It is too late to make changes, who ever wrote the article is only partially informed. The system is beyond repair because of DEBT, DEBT, and more DEBT. Since it cannot be repaid, it cannot be repaired, and anybody that thinks differently is delusional. The hyperinflation rout will only be another short term band aid. The cost will be paid back in poverty, hunger,and a drastically changed world.

Where there is no insight, the people perish!

The ignorant and clueless Amerikans will now $uffer a terrible karma for $ellecting George W. Bush (and his neocon moron cronies) in 2000. Old Coyote Knose that the corp-rat profiteering $cams of the IRAQ-NAM invasion and occupation is only the beginning of a complete and total economic collapse of the United $tates.

Tis true,...China could dump our Debt,and since they own All of our national Debt they can do as they please. However, what has been missed is the FRNs your spending are only worth 2 cents now...alas thank you FDR , and the Large bankers assoc. called the Federal Reserve. Congress through a underhanded political con job authorized the Fed to print money. (Circa 1930s) and Congress was the ONLY body authorized by the Constitution to print Money to begin with. Along with this deception came the removal of our currency and it's Gold backed base. Then came the overlording of IRS which was only intended to collect from Business gains, and US "aquired" Territories(circa 1930s) and not from Citizens Income. When Gold was removed from the "Standard of our Backing the USA began the destructive decline it is in now. Then came the credit influx and checking accounts(credits and debits) another destructive convenience for greedy Americans.So here we are.

Drew has it down to a T. I agree. All going along as planned so many years ago.Get ready for the chip, and the concentration camps, and or survival outside of the system............if you can. As for Ron Paul..If indeed He is what he claims,He will be shot in the first month. I agree with most of his ideas, But???
