Bush gave a speach last night on tv...blaming everyone but himself...it made me sick. STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DONT NEED TO SPEND, and making AMERICANS live in fear that is not there.

when i say that i have a better chance being struck by lightning than dying in a terrorist attack, i am not that far off statistically.

37000+ people die each year in car crashes. that is way more than US citz dying from terror attacks in the same annual time period.

to me he looked like a complete idiot playing the blame game, and then trying to tell me that my tax dollars need to bail out what could have been prevented by people living in less financial fear.

is it a coincidence that housing markets dropped once the confidence of americans fighting in a war that is dredging our federal reserve and making our dollar plumit to all time record lows against foreigh currency! i think not.

USA bank set a record and -Z- gets all hissy?

USA! USA!

As the Dictactor of America, we have to do everything he says. He has complete control of the economy and all other facets of our everyday lives.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. So, if you are an American citizen, stop trying to play the blame game and accept the fact you are at fault in some way.

[-Z-]

You guys are *****.

If you dont give a **** about the USA and the important things going on then dont read my thread.Do no bash me because I am making a relevant point.

What works in theory will never work in reality. You cannot say that socialism or capitalism is better than the other.

And as for China being the next superpower, I am not looking forward to that either. China needs to reform, but that is neither here or there.

I thought the Era of Investment Banking was over. I heard it on BNN the other day, how new regulations would basically turn them into commercial banks like how we have here in Canada.

Example: CIBC (commercial), and CIBC WorldMarkets (investment) are two branches of the same company, so thus the investment branch cannot go off and do its own thing.

Or am I completely off the mark?

Capitalism and Socialism need to be balanced out, equally.

Pure socialism, or capitalism do not work.

a balance must be had.

Everyday you have some sort of message to slam the USA.. Must be a full time job carrying around all this hate.. Might want to see a shrink

What we are seeing now will pass. it always does. Sometimes the tree grows so fast the roots can't catch up.

And it is no secret that the US will end up losing it's economic power status. I mean really how can it keep up when our population is so small compared to China.. But like Will said, i'm not looking forward to China being a economic super power.. Perhaps if China would help the traade deficit some other nations might have a chance to grow too.. Including yours! But that's another story.

Will the US go through some hard times? Yes. Is it good for us? Yes. Sometimes we get so use to having it so good, we forget how delicate the balance really is. Perhaps now people will start waking up and paying attention to who we elect into office and start holding them accountable.

But the US will always be the worlds military Super Power. So it's not like we are just packing up our bags and burning the tee pees and moving to another country.. The US will come through this just fine and infact i think we will end up stronger then before..

But you keep on ranting and raving and hating us while you go to sleep under the blanket of freedom and protection we give you.. No thank you needed, that's ok..

You want to complain and debate issues about our leaders, fine i am more then happy to have them here. But your constant bashing of my country is pissing me off. Not all American are bad and evil and when you keep saying things about our empire crashing bla bla bla, your talking about my home. My way of life. My kids future and my kids security. So i don't take to kindly to your comments. Perhaps you can step outside your own pot smoked filled box long enough to understand that there are other people who are involved in this situation. Some who are young and have no control over what is going on. So maybe you could atleast act like you care a little and show some respect for the trials that some people are going through.

good day!

I do not take kindly to your presumptions about my opinions, statements, and questions.

When Did I say I hate America? When did I say I hate the people of America?

I have said neither, in fact I have said that America IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, and that its people are beautiful, just like any other.

BUT YOU ALL IGNORE THAT IT SEEMS.

You focus on the status quo that is prevails in todays global opinion:

America is Bad.

So how about you stop ignoring what I actually say, and read!

It seems perhaps many Americans have a problems with assumptions. You assume that I hate you. You assume that just because your government causes so much destruction and suffering, that everything everyone else says about you is negative.

(I bet you are getting all riled up right now, just because I spoke the words destruction and suffering)

So stop a minute, and realize that most people are forgiving, and that people realize that it is not the people of america that have made these destructive decisions, it is the corrupt government.

I wonder if your anger will even Let you admit that many of the choices made by your administration are rooted in Greed and deception?

Lets be honest.

When I criticize America, it is not because I hate you.

I repeat as I have said so often, the people of america are great!

I want to help America by pointing out its flaws so its people can take action!

Now please instead of bashing me, take some action!

Mr P. - My way of life is similar, Your kids securities are gone, because of war, financial deceit and bad decisions. do u realize that as I write this your government is about to pass a 700B $ bill and hand that money to a few people? After several other multi Billion $ bills this year.

i dont hate anyone, or anything, thats a waste of time.

And the only thing I would have to fear as a Canadian is being linked to America in some way, and attacked by terrorists, that were trained and funder By America. (Binladen and Co.)

Don't hand me a cup of liquid **** and call it a chocolate milkshake!

Get your **** together in your country man. dont just sit back in ignorance while u bash people who point out problems.

And do not accuse me of hate.
