It was my impression that paved roads are the enemy according to the crowd Krugman runs with. Don't paved roads make it easy to use the evil oil-chugging, carbon-emitting automobile for transportation, as opposed to bikes, trains, or whatever the latest eco-fad is? Therefore, one would think that the fact that we are "unpaving" roads would be a very enlightened and promising move according to the Krugman crowd. The guy is an idiot and the only man in America who is more consistently wrong about EVERYTHING than Alan Greenspan. I also agree that life/living standards in America are no better and possibly worse than a large number of other advanced nations. This doesn't make Krugman any less wrong though. America DOES NOT have a better pot to piss in. This may have been true for a short period of time in the middle of this century, but is mostly a myth.
Slipping is one thing...third world country status is laughable and quite a ways away yet... Think of the true "third world countries" in this world, and compare them to the USA. Anyone who thinks they are similar are fools.
Check out how much the salaries, benefits, and pensions of state and local govt workers have increased over the last 10 years. This has nothing to do with too little taxes collected.
there is a simple solution to our fiscal woes: cut back on all defense/military spending that we pour into the defense of other countries and continents. close all external bases. follow ron paul's example of removing ourselves from the policemen of the world. we'll have boat loads of cash.
America's coffin is being closed with Zionist nails. America's decline began the day AIPAC took over congress. The biggest threat to America is not some raghead hiding in some Afghan cave, it's the average southern evangelical christian. These southern inbred voters consistently vote only on issues pertaining to god gays and guns and will reliably vote against their own interests.
Oh no... we just couldn't elect someone like Ron Paul... or even Sara Palin. HOW MUCH WORSE OF A CHOICE COULD WE HAVE MADE? After all, Hitler and Stalin are dead.
Exactly. After studying and watching for the last few years I am convinced there will be no change until someone other than a Democrat or Republican is voted into office. They are both backed by the Bilderberg Group. Look at how much we spend on military spending compared to other nations around the world. Look at how much we waste on a F-22 or F-35 even while the military says the battles of the future will require more special forces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II
Spot on. I thought about moving there and they I was warned about he excess of bible thumpers. Focus on the Family no thanks. Ted Haggard, no thanks. Too many hypocrites and extremists. What's laughable is the get a tax exemption and then break the law by talking about politics all the time. But hey they are doing god's work right. Sorry that's Loyd.
correct: Palin is too dumb to organize something like Hitler or Stalin did. but a dummy can be controlled by somebody evil from behind the curtains.
