Our dollar is expected to drop 50% more by the end of the year. The stock market is expected to crash as companies have to take write offs due to Enroning and the hedge fund/derivative debacle. All pensions based on investments and personal assets should be gone shortly. We have no jobs especially if you count the NG and contractors returning from the "war". Employers are dropping health insurance and those that have it can barely afford it. Our food, water and air are less safe everyday. Our CDC/FDA are controlled by corporations. You can get tased for just moving in line at the airport. You have to give DNA at traffic stops. Our elections are rigged by machines and illegal maneuvering that are still very much in play. Our whole system is based on debt and they can no longer print money fast enough to make this Ponzi scheme work. Goods may even be Inevitable. One of two huge food wholesalers just went into default here in the Twin Cites.

Do you airheads really think an email to any of my Congressman of either party is going to change anything at this late date? We have no Republic and we have to figure out how we are going to survive this disaster with the fascists still in charge.

The only leader I see is Gore because he came through the 2000 fire and changed. He can't fix this he can only help us rebuild after the monumental disaaster. The rest are still mostly followers who got us into this mess.

1. Voters don't care about politics so long as they can look out their window and not see Tanks

They generally vote to serve only their self interest.

American voters only think the debt is a piece of paper they will never have to pay back.

They figure the debt is someone else's responsibility

3. Check your arithmetic ... 10 x or 100 x ?
I couldn't find those numbers in the link you posted, so couldn't check that way.
