USA in decline?

[francoHFW]

I blame voodoo and Reaganism- Taxes too low, pandering to the rich, failure to invest in infrastructure and education/training. Myopic selfish Pubs and dupes/haters.

"The British journalist Ed Luce, whose book Time To Start Thinking is subtitled America In The Age Of Descent, argues that its failure to invest in infrastructure, research and education has been hugely damaging.

He told me: "The American dream no longer exists. If you compare income mobility, for example, you're twice as likely to move up an income group - up a class - in Canada or Germany as you would in the US.

"You're as likely to move up a class in Britain, and Britain's at the bottom of the league. It's got to stop these trends; otherwise it'll cease to be the America we admire; and I think it's to a large extent already ceasing, or has ceased, to be the America we admire.

BBC News - Is the US caught in the slow lane?

Tell it to the GOP. Of course they care little for country. It is all about what they can do to protect themselves and their class.

You idiots always make me laugh when you say we don't spend enough on education.

The world is in decline and there is no human leader of any ideology that can do a thing about it other than put on the brakes or grease the skids.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Yes,
Same way that leds to the Decline of
Briton
Canada

The left cut the militaries and gave more free shit to the population. You can't take from the productive class without decreasing the size of the overall pie. It takes resources(cash) to hire people and create productivity.

The more I think of Ben Franklin, the more amazed I'm of just how right he was.
When people figure out that they can vote for free stuff then the republic will die. Keep it while you can.

More or less as undirect quotes...

Blame Reagan after we saw Barry Obama establish "cash for clunkers"? Democrats thought that taxpayer dollars spent to destroy good used cars was the way of the future? We are mortgaged up to our asses to oil producing tyrant countries while the democrat majority leader told Americans that "oil makes you sick". Democrats authorized the Iraq conflict and then spent years pretending that they were bystanders or members of the jihad. Bill Clinton was diddling Monica while the 9-11 terrorists were attending flight school in the US and his ditsy A.G. ordered the CIA not to share data with the FBI or face criminal prosecution. Barney Frank was chairman of the powerful House Banking Committee which had oversight responsibility for Fannie Mae and he told America that Fannie was doing fine when in fact it was on the verge of collapse. What the fuk was he thinking? Blame Reagan? Only a fool or a quiche eating surrender monkey would suggest such a thing.

Yep, at the moment America is in a serious state of decline, brought to you courtesy of the travail of liberalism. The question is how bad will it have to get before reality knocks at the door and these liberal pukes are thrown out of office. My bet is it will happen when the dollar bubble pops and all hell breaks loose.

Well, the dynamics of our world have charged greatly in the past 60 years. I won't say what it is as I am trying to be good.

The world has been in decline since the beginning of the industrial revolution. We do not have infinite resources but western civilization is still acting otherwise.

 

[hjmick]

I blame you.

The ship is being turned around now. Getting health costs under control and getting people off welfare to get medicaid, bringing back the nonrich, will put us back on top. Thanks for nothing, the stupidest wars ever, and the depression and congressional paralysis only for lust for power to steal again, greedy/incompetent pubs and stupid dupes...

Jesus Christ can. We just have to humble ourselves, repent and let Him.

 

[Avatar4321]

BTW if we were in decline from Reagonomics, we'd have been in decline for the past 30 years instead of the past 5 or so.

 

[francoHFW]

We were in decline since 1985, the last 5 years was a Pub collapse and depression.

I did say "human leader", ask Jesus to make some more oil if he can spare the time away from doing jack shit.
