America is Screwed

Lynexon, have you seen a documentry called Zietigest?

America indeed is screwed, but the real, long-term, problem of the US is the huge, very huge debt. Currently the debt of the United States is over 9.000.000.000.000 (that isnt the english term of billion, maybe trillion?) and it is going up at a very fast rate (also think of the interest that needs to be payed for the debt). The only way to slow it down is to take very drastic measures that arent very popular (like a very big decrease in military costs and a increase of taxes for the middle and high classes).
Because these measures arent popular not a single politician running for the presidency is paying attention to it even though it will eventually decide the fate of the US. Economics are a way bigger factor in political continuity then most people think. Devaluation of the money and a huge debt eventually destroyed the Roman empire and numerous kingdoms. This is about to happen once again.
The only person that I think really is going to make changes in this election is Barack Obama. He probably isnt going to solve the debt but he can make a start and maybe make the US more positive.

Hillary really reminds me of a career slut who doenst really has interest in the fate of America. Personaly glory over the heads of the people for her. John Edwards is not very progressive. Ron Paul is about to get senile as he is over 70 and the rest of the republican candidates are (as always) conservative bastards.
Obama may win the current vote for the democratic candidate but he probably isnt going to win the eventual presidency election because of the huge amount of conservative (mostly christian) people. The republican candidate may win again as the mayority of these people do not have enough trust in a black president (or a women as president for that matter).

Who here has seen Michael Moore's latest film "Sicko"?

Well, it covers the flaws in the US health system. And Hilary tried to stop the whole scam of 'insurance', yet all other politicians told her to fuck off, kinda.

I'd see her fit to fix the health system, as it's wrong over there how things are done.

On the other side, doesn't anyone find Bush as President hilarious? I've not been following the other candidates much, so I don't really know them. I'll catch up.

If Vote Fraud happens against Afrikan/Black voters, I will seriously step out into the street, fly to DC, kill bush, kill Hillary, and kill anybody who helped rig the elections. Today in my English class we did some reports on 2 candidates most likely to be next president, Barack and Hillary. Barack wins, I'm happy. Barack loses, I kill!

Erm, what was the point of this?

I dont live in the USA.

But like, why did you post here?

Amen to that Lynexon. I agree with everything you said in your first post. America is circling the drain. With talks of National ID cards, a war in Iraq/Afghanistan and now possibly invading Iran, and a "Do whatever you want and get away with it law in the name of National Security" Law (Patriot Act), I am getting ready to leave. The saddest thing is that most people don't realize how bad it is. Also, you know shit is fucked up when the one man who can make a difference (Ron Paul) is excluded from a debate in New Hampshire even when it is most definitely rigged. Overkill?
