yes this is a very seriuos happening for the whole world really.
Expecting a broken Washington to fix a fiscal cliff that 16t dollars high is like ask the Titanic to re-float and sail into New York City in three days.............
Time for people to see that hard facts of life......I guess.
I wish it was not like this. But it is...............
Rumple4skin: You have raw materials, you rely on imports and you have massive debts.
The solution is simple; make your own stuff.
I'd welcome every new factory with every dirty job and blast of carbon monoxide they bring.
This solution is obvious. However, factory work here is considered beneath most Americans today and our president says and pushes advanced education as the way to go. It all ends with greed here. Everyone wants to live as well as everyone else. At one time, I believe janitors working at Ford Motor Company in the River Rouge plant were making as much as attorneys were. Woops, Is it ok to use the "J" word (janitor).

We need to ditch consumerism & credentials and all the womanly minds that think this is the way things work. The the practical way, the manly way, of material resourcefulness is the right way to run the economy. It's what you do, not what you know that counts.
I don't know about America but, it's something of a myth that we don't want factory jobs. At least, many of my generation prefer factory work to office work even despite the fact you have to work harder in a Western factory today than you did at any point over the last 40 years.
If you look beyond their apathy there is something of a counter-culture growing amongst the young, like the 1960's only, this time it's a shift to the Right.
Anyway, bring on the cliff. Nothing will change until the weak are uncompromisingly exposed for what they have always been.

galrads: ... Being a Full Blooded Italian (FBI), I've probably been called worse. Words directed at my first-generation American-born parents, that would have really bothered them, don't mean much to me... Like... Dago, Wop, Gueanie, spaghetti bender, bead jingler, shoe shine boy, others best left unwritten etc
My point exactly...words...we decide whether to use them to offend and we decide whether we allow them to offend. As authors of our words, we select the connotation we wish to communicate to our audience, for whatever personal reasons we might have. Always wonderful to hear from you, Mr. G....always the gentleman.
I've been reading several news articles regarding the Fiscal Cliff thingy and can tell the news media is using it's usual 'Scare Mongering' so to speak.
It's just a way to get everyone riled up without really reporting the True facts.

Naa, this is one thing the media will not sensationalise. On the contrary, the media sensationalises that which isn't important, now it's a case of how bad does it have to get before they can no longer keep a lid on it.
The one thing the establishment won't do is herald their own demise.

It's a way to burden us with more taxes that are only going to fill deep pocketed crooks and send us to the poor house. They want to guilt everyone into believing they need to contribute more and do their part to help the country. At the same time, the Gov doesn't want to cut wasteful spending which is what got us in this mess to begin with.
