I’m assuming you forgot to include the military in this statement?

Participant[quote=Zeitgeist]The banks should have failed. The government meddling is the biggest part of the problem. You obviously have forgotten about how well FEMA handled its duties.[/quote]
Yes, the government mishandled the banks (or one could argue, that the banks are handling the government). But the FEMA argument is BS.

ParticipantMilitary service sent me over much of the globe, and one thing I learned is that every place has some things that are great, and some things that are bad. For my situation, moving out of CA was the best financial decision we could have made. There is simply no way we could have such a nice standard of living in SD with only myself working and the wife staying home with the new baby. The funny thing I’ve witnessed is how in California many people say, “Man, I wouldn’t live anywhere but California.” And then here many people say, “There’s no way I would Ever live in California.” Too funny.
As for this part –
“We are on our way to become irrelevant as a world power and we are watching the collapse of our civilization come about before our eyes.”
In my opinion our civilization will not collapse, but yes we will become much more irrelevant. We will follow much the same path as Great Britain did from the 1850’s to present. They were the super power from the early-mid 1800’s until WWII. After all that expensive colonization and the devastating wars they still exist, but can no longer leverage even a fraction of the old world influence. BTW – our country becoming irrelevant as a world power is a Good thing in my opinion. We need to worry about ourselves, not the rest of the world.
