If Debt is Prosperity, then we are the richest county in the world! Ha. Ha. All in just 10 years!<br /><br />At least they are upfront about their intentions of following the Bush/Obama administration agenda of bankrupting America into submission to the World Banksters and the new economic world order!<br /><br />God, how they hate Independence and government for and by the people and they especially hate any social services for the people including: Employment Benefits, Social Security, Unions, Social Services and public ownership of Lands and Natural Resources and public owned Infrastructure including highways and bridges. <br /><br />Republicans pray for the day that Austerity kicks in for Americans and the States are bankrupt and in receivership by the Bank of International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund.<br /><br />The ultimate goal of the World Banksters fiat money debt scheme is International monetary control of each nation by international Totalitarian corporate rule.windcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472629221573977747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-88684216685211460672010-12-08T09:27:48.052-08:002010-12-08T09:27:48.052-08:00The big mistake private industry unions made was t...The big mistake private industry unions made was throwing in with government unions. At least private industry unions are involved in the productive economy. Government unions' and private unions' interests are NOT the same.<br /><br />By failing to see the danger inherent in government unions (they eventually 'kill the goose'), private union members have sealed their fate. Republicans might be able to speed the endgame up, but the math would bring about their demise regardless.Dave Narbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773693145577366704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-17136669793749146102010-12-08T09:14:18.392-08:002010-12-08T09:14:18.392-08:00There has to be a force capable of stopping the ma...There has to be a force capable of stopping the madness at the state and local level. California has public nurses making more than $300,000 a year. <br /><br />Republicans are no longer competitive in many states due to the flood pf illegal aliens. Their anchor babies are legally voting. I have met many illegal aliens who told me they vote and vote Democrat.<br /><br />I moved out of California. Why should I pay taxes to support insane unions, Democrat politicians and illegal aliens who made California unlivable to anyone who is not a millionaire?Daniel Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062898366141413906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-86291919842111538422010-12-08T03:45:04.646-08:002010-12-08T03:45:04.646-08:00I am shocked by the numbers I am reading, concerni...I am shocked by the numbers I am reading, concerning the debt owed by states. However, as you imply, we are all in this together and need to figure out a solution (maybe involving debt forgiveness) as a country. Not just hatefully and spitefully destroying a state to destroy a labor union.Stephen Krizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577988184226223487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-38595913943422889322010-12-07T22:59:12.770-08:002010-12-07T22:59:12.770-08:00I do not understand well the purpose. Who benefits...I do not understand well the purpose. Who benefits from bankrupt states: the central government? Is it a maneuver to further centralize the USA or rather, as I think it's the case in Europe, one to force budget cuts while massively transferring to Big Capital in yet another, quite draconian capital accumulation process? <br /><br />I have the strong impression that all this financial madness is largely a late version of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_accumulation#Marxist_concept_of_capital_accumulation" rel="nofollow">original (and sustained/cyclical) accumulation of capital into the oligarchy</a>. In other words, an upgraded and globalized version of the enclosures and such. <br /><br />This was postponed once and again in the last 8 decades by transference of some wealth (crumbs maybe but a growing amount of crumbs) from the oligarchies to the working class (and also to the middle classes, so important to keep the ideological backbone), leading to an illusory version of Capitalism that a friend calls "welfarism". Why was it postponed because the USSR and the general threat of proletarian revolution was real. Finished the Cold War and after exhausting all the rest of the fuel in the financial bubble, the oligarchs interest is to recapture all that wealth and therefore to impoverish some large sectors of society, even in the developed countries. <br /><br />But it does not seem like forcing bankruptcy of the states would benefit this reactionary plan, they probably intend instead to cause in California, Illinois, etc. the same as in Europe. However it seems to me that California and Illinois are much larger and important for the global economy than Greece or Ireland.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.com
