This economic system was unsustainable in the long run, you must make any adjustments to the current economic model, but more importantly, do not forget these cyclical crises that are always

An example of the detention centres in the United States was the incarceration of Japanese Americans in the light of the attack of PearlHarbour in 1941. After the attacks, American government and military officials began to suspect that every Japanese American would sympathise and support Japan against the United States. They were accused of being spies after the Americans intercepted encrypted messages from Japanese officials which were completely unfounded. Even if there were, it was very few and definitely didn’t warrant the detention of an entire ethnic group. Government and military officials, like J Edgar Hoover, didn’t believe the Japanese Americans constituted a threat but various administration officials at the Department of War (now Department of Defense) disagreed. Finally, fuelled by false reports of espionage and the demands of white farmers in California who saw the Japanese American farmers as threats, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066.The rights of Japanese Americans were revoked, even those who were American citizens which made up the majority, and they were rounded up and detained in prison camps across nine states. It destroyed their emotional well-being, self identify and their culture. Instead of being independent, they had to rely on the government for their basic needs. Many of these camps were placed on Native American property which the Native Americans never consented to. They were never compensated for this. They initially thought they’d benefit from improvements made on their land but that was not to be. After the war, the buildings and gardens were destroyed or sold by the government.Every Japanese American prisoner had to show their loyalty for the United States by answering two questions: 1) whether or not they would be willing to be drafted to fight in the war or volunteer as a nurse and (2) whether they would swear to obey all  !important]the laws of the U.S. and not interfere with the war effort, despite the fact that their rights had been revoked. The majority answered yes to both questions.On January 2, 1945, the Executive Order was revoked and the Japanese American prisoners were allowed to leave despite the fact that the Japanese had not surrendered yet during the war and the worst was to come. This proves how unfounded the “fears” that the Japanese American detainees were spies. Therefore, they could never have been a security threat.Ominously enough, in 2006, Congress sent former President Bush a bill that establishes a $38 million program of important]National Park Service !important]grants to  preserve Japanese POW internment camps across several states. Is this in the name of historical preservation or preparation for what is to come?

As long as theres life theres hope but since the USA is the worlds largest offshore bank.I don't see congress reforming the offshore banking system.Corporations have to want to reinvest in America.Our Roads and bridges are aging and need upkeep.When all money wants to do is escape regulation and not invest in the community around it.Twenty years down the road everybody alive is living in a slum.Where is the world of the jetsons??? Flying cars and push button jobs?China,China,China.Where did their bailouts come from ?American taxpayers in the forms of loans at less than one percent.Not over 20 percent as they charge their customers!Congress is insane and has been hijacked by corporations who only seek to maximize their profits and seek to collect wealth in the hands of only a few and not the middle class.We have get congress back on the path to working for the people or we will have a revolution like the French did.triffid
