Our Goose is Cooked ......

This must be what it was like in Russia before the Soviet Union collapsed. The government's so crooked that nothing works right, the infrastructure's in a shambles, millions of people are scraping by on government handouts, and everyone's on a permanent downer. Welcome to the United States of America 2011.

I mean, seriously, things are really looking bad. Apart from killing people, we really don't do anything anymore. We have a humongous, over-bloated military that lumbers from one war to the next spreading misery wherever it goes, and meanwhile, back at home, things continue to go to the dogs. How long can that go on?

You can't get a job anymore, because all the jobs have been shipped off to Guandong Province or someplace South of the border. The best you can hope for is some part-time gig jerking double-tall-mochas or steering folks towards the red-dot special on Aisle 9. So, how can you sustain a middle class on a measly $9.50 per hour? It can't be done.

1. The Reagan Revolution is complete.

The world is now the filthy rich vs the filthy poor and the filthy rich have all the guns, all the press, and all the judges.

3. The balance of power will swing back away from the current

situation. The problem is that we will probably be long dead and gone before it happens. Maybe our grandchildren will be able to enjoy a better life.
