Keep it flowing bro! <br /><br />As to materialism, we Americans are currently stunned by the recession. As individuals, many have privately gone bankrupt by overextending themselves. What do we do corporately then? Within only the first three months of Obama’s administration, we have quadrupled the national debt incurred during 8 years of the Bush administration. Obama’s debt alone is more than the US has incurred since our revolution.<br />What we did privately, we now are doing corporately? It makes no sense. How has Obama done it? By using our greed; telling Americans they can get something for nothing (print money, use plastic). <br /><br />This iteration of American debt is not spawned from the love for money although it "capitalizes" on it. It is even more evil. Its pedigree is firmly rooted in the greed for power, something we know corrupts absolutely.Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183724465598931419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-46354063872882340402009-05-13T20:15:00.000+01:002009-05-13T20:15:00.000+01:00keep on keeping on Jon looks like some people cant...keep on keeping on Jon looks like some people cant handle the truth if they are complaining your doing something right!!markey23https://www.blogger.com/profile/08896349210078646024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-11776135298915718152009-05-13T13:16:00.000+01:002009-05-13T13:16:00.000+01:00As an American, I can say that I am not offended i...As an American, I can say that I am not offended in the least about what you say about my country and its economic system. I have said far worse. My ancestors have been here since the Dutch capitalists took advantage of German protestant refugees from the Thirty Years War, taking a great many of them to work as "indentured labor" on their plantations along the Hudson. At least they didn't have to worry about the Swedish and Hapsburg Empires, but they did have to worry about living in a wilderness and not being able to purchase any land along the Hudson after their period of indenture was over. Further, the Dutch couldn't spell their last name correctly, not could the English who eventually took control of the territory. I believe that I have some right to complain about things here.<br /><br />America is supposed to be a free society that can tolerate criticism. Too often it is not.Retrievermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780519136583108632noreply@blogger.com
