THE PREDICTED DEMISE OF THE US

"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere."

-- Dr. Seuss

Since 9/11, I have been quoting Osama bin Laden who said he will break the American economy. The Bush administration ignored him and he has won. McCain can keep thinking the war is on the battlefield, in the Iraqi streets, and in Afghanistan, but the 'real' war has already been lost. Whether Ahmadinejad is accurate or not as he puts it is irrelevant. He predicts that the US empire is nearing an end. What the Bush administration has done to saddle the citizens of this country with debt in so many areas for the next generations is really amazing. Greed has blinded the administration to the realities, or they really don't care what happens to the country now that their pockets have been lined. We may never know the answer to what they really think in this lifetime, since every effort is being made to seal documents for the next 50 years that would shed light as to just how this catastrophe was allowed to happen. We can talk about deregulation and lowering taxes for the rich but it does not show the iceberg under the surface.

It just gets worse and worse. The bullies will have done the damage and run off to fat retirement, paid for by American hard working citizens (at least those with jobs). The CEOs who acted out the problem will do the same. They will all live in their comfortable lifestyle and have money to hire the rest of us to do their chores everywhere.
