[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1469173, member: 1294"] The Fed is printing money, (which many contend is unconstitutional to begin with) to cover what we don't have as it is, it's said we're incurring a debt that we'll not even be able to pay the interest on and that it will pass to our children and grandchildren. Maybe alternative 2 is the right answer, it would be hard for everyone to keep ignoring the issues. The same has been said about the wars we're now in, that is if the draft is re-instituted it will personally affect many more Americans directly and therefor give them incentive to think and evaluate the situation differently. Greece almost went bankrupt recently and accepted a bailout from the IMF, google it and see how that's working for them. Then there's Romania... [UNITED NATIONS, May 20 -- With Romania wracked by the most serious protests since its 1989 revolution, Inner City Press on May 20 asked International Monetary Fund spokesperson Caroline Atkinson if the IMF would consider re-negotiating the 25% pay cut to public sector employees portrayed by the government as a condition for receiving a Greece-like bailout.] There's no doubt where we are but most ignore it, we also know what some of the issues are that got us here like the mortgage frauds being exposed in several banks now, we'll see if the banks will be held any more accountable than the Gov. The question might be will America sell it's children into further debt or go for a bailout along with the IMF directives to address the deficit which are causing cuts that Greeks have been protesting about so as to try to keep our standard of living? We think little of people in poor countries who are sometimes forced to sell children to feed the rest of the family, what can be said about what we're doing to ours? As things get tougher more of our people are being put on the Gov. plan, (welfare) there are only two likely results, 1. Social programs are cut leaving the country overwhelmed with the poor/unemployed, second great depression? 2. The number of welfare voters and poor raise so as to allow them to "outvote" those who they perceive as the ones who caused the problems and "robbed" them, they will of course vote for revenge and do anything to help their position as they've seen others do. I'm not saying any of this is right, I'm saying we could find ourselves with no good choices to fix our current situation, I honestly hope I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
