I see an economic diasater coming...

The United States will not fall. it will not collapse, it will continue to be the most prosperous nation in the world.

the USA has its up and downs like any other country, but most countries feels it more than the USA ever will.

sure, I would like a Bartar system, but the 'whole world' will not change to it and makes it worthless as a whole economy trade. see, we are not dealing with just America on the bartar scale, we are dealing with the whole world who uses money as trade period.

what power can a Government have with Bartar? we as a human race have always been ruled by a leader as colonist as the species we are.

we are Humans, we are ruled by a colonist Queen or King(President or Emperor), it is what our species does.

if you want to get rid of that human colonist rulership then you might as well sign off God while you're at it. won't happen.

The fall of the Roman Empire didn't happen?  The Egyptian Empire?  The Mayans?  No society lasts forever and neither will this one.

The Book of Revelations?  The earth will be consumed by fire, the Bible says.  Did you see the movie, The Knowing?  The earth was cooked by heat when the sun went nova.  Only a boy and his sister were saved.

My point is:  It's ending shortly.  People will stop spending money when they don't have any to spend.  It begins with the lack of continued employment benefits.  The snowball effect alone should rattle everyone's nerves in the future.  And! I'll leave alone the possibility of social/civil unrest.  That's a possibility, but it's in the minds of individuals to decide to do that.

I'm not afraid.  I got over that on the streets.  However, some people may be forced to deal with their fears and lack of self sufficiency in the future.  What they do about that is also their decision.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiagCIF6Ejw it's ridiculous that they describe all the new money as taxpayer money but the taxpayer doesn't get a share in the bank.It's counterproductive(for the bank) for the average joe to live well.That's the bottom line.A little bit of social unrest is a small price to pay to get the rat trained to run faster on the treadmill in the long run.

What it is, is that there an economic incentive for some businessmen to maintain the status quo.  That means more bad news to the economy.  They're trying to keep the money going as long as possible.  For that reason, their karma is going to be heavy.  To put it lightly!

Now, I have specific answers to some posts above, but I'll get to them when I can.

With respect to Reply #12, this thread:

The YouTube video clip is at:

This is an advertisement for a British TV show to be aired shortly.

This is merely their opinion.  However, keep in mind the British economy is just as mired in the recession as ours.  What happens to us, happens to them---and they know it.  They're probably not happy about it, either.

If social unrest is coming, we will all experience it to some extent.  The idea, I think, is to try and "keep your head down" and "lay low" as much as possible.  I sure will.
