How do you spell "dishonest"! If it looks like a duck, quakes like a duck, probably is a Duck! and considering the trail of mysterious Deaths during the Clinton Rain, doesn't surprise me because

lol

the economy is facing a major insolvency crisis

reducing slightly the rate at which the colossal national debt is increasing is trivial

it's like a 300 lb man claiming that a reduction in his rate of weight gain from 5 lbs a month to 4 lbs a month is good news

good news? i think not

(i say allegedly, since i wouldnt be surprised if the figures were massaged to make them appear better than is the reality)

"Behind the free market ideology there is a model, often attributed to Adam Smith, which argues that market forces--the profit motive--drive the economy to efficient outcomes as if by an invisible hand. One of the great achievements of modern economics is to show the sense in which, and the conditions under which, Smith's conclusion is correct. It turns out that these conditions are highly restrictive. Indeed, more recent advances in economic theory --ironically occurring precisely during the period of the most relentless pursuit of the Washington Consensus policies--have shown that whenever information is imperfect and markets incomplete, which is to say always, and especially in developing countries, then the invisible hand works most imperfectly. Significantly, there are desirable government interventions which, in principle, can improve upon the efficiency of the market.....

every 5 seconds a child dies of hunger

over 10 million children die every year due to hunger/hunger-related causes

over 120 million children in the developing world are underweight

Americans represent less than 5% of the world's population

the USA has almost 20% of the votes at the IMF

IMF policy decisions require 85% support to pass

therefore the USA is the only member with vetoing power

the conditions placed on loans to developing countries are more beneficial to Wall Street than the borrowing countries

and it is argued that this is one reason for the growing inequality between rich and poor

it costs 10 cents to provide a child with a cup of porridge

what is your opinion?

doesn’t it make more sense to worry about the countries that already have arsenals of nukes and have even used them to burn civilians of other countries?

and did they not tell us they knew where Iraq nukes were? if they lied then would they not lie now?.

The same people who don’t care about people 2nd amendment rights being violated. Or the fact that the federal government has stripped away most states rights. The courts have decided to legislate from the bench. Teachers get suspended for saying teachers should be allowed to carry a gun to class. What happened to free speech? A student gets kicked out of class for saying a prayer. Congressmen get up and criticize an appointee for his religious beliefs on the floor of congress. What happened to "no religious test"? These same people attack bush for denying rights to people who never had them in the first place.
Since when do foreigners calling from overseas have privacy protection when they are suspected of terrorism? By this logic we should invade every country to make sure their rights aren't being infringed.

Its the documentary by Aaron Russo. It started with how Income Tax and the Fedral System was set up without a definable ratified law in the States. But then it went on about the New World Order, and how central elitist bankers are trying to push through globalisation.
I drew remarkable similarities between US and UK systems - Blurred distinction between political parties, open borders, proposed ID cards, the sly implementation of a failed EU constitution under the new guise of being a simple 'treaty', the adoption of single currency, proposed EU wide taxation, loss of civil liberties, increased government eavesdropping, financial powers being turned over to banks, the rise of national debt alongside conumers, the sell off years ago of gold reserves..

Did it make you feel paranoid too?
Now I'm finally behind the postal workers. Power to the people!..

For people that support the war on drugs and think it can be won, why do you believe this? Something that has been going on for 35 years, and over $420 billion later, nothing has been accomplished except making more crime and ruining the criminal records of millions of people from their teenage years on. Unless you can change human chemistry so people can't get high in various ways from drugs, you can't stop people's desire to do them and can't win this. I leave with a quote:

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." -Abraham Lincoln

capitalism is reponsible wholy for global warming, e.g keep taking the earth natural resources for prophit unlike in communism which is only take what is nessesary which makes sense in protecting our environment. if you look at all the rain forests that hve been and are being chopped down, all the timber from it went to capitalist countires, e.g brazilian hardwood to u.s and western europe. if you add all the mineral resourses being mined for the u.s to keeps it's greedy industires working,well no need to look further in who the bggest environmental destroyers are.the u.s blames new upcomeng indusrial countires like india and china but yet these countires hve only been indstiral powers in the last 10 years unlike the u.s and western europe which has been causeing global warming since the age of the idutrial revolution.there are thousands of other reasons why capitalism is evil bt it's too much to put in a small forum, but people do understand my main points
