otcbargains: The price of cooper and other industrial metals suggests that the world economy is in a slowdown, not just the U.S. economy.

In the U.S., we cannot keep graduating young people who aren't going to find jobs. The only thing keeping the U.S. afloat is the fact that the U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency.

Quote from article: "We are losing blood fast, and almost all of our leaders are either too corrupt or too incompetent to be able to do anything about it." Amen to that.

that's just more of the irresponsibility of the media...this article typifies it...

the media, all media, creates and manufactures a story that they pick & use only certain negative facts to make their point.. something like 'let's paint doom and gloom and scare the bejebbies out of everyone'...and if it gets said and viewed enough times, then everyone believes it ! but it might not be true because the other positive facts aren't given.

how about a responsible media that really informs and educates and gives positive solutions for the economy ?

there are enough people that are begging for better information and not the canned and panned sound bites from media that only cares about viewership and ratings.

do things need to change ?...of course they do...but one particular president has gotten us in this "trouble"..and not one particular congress or senate has gotten us in this "trouble"...it has been an orchestrated agenda.

it's time to stop blaming and take the actions to course correct.

would >now< be a good time for each citizen to take their personal back ?

The one part of the article that really got my attention was #30 The U.S. national debt continues to explode in size and spiral out of control. According to Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. “fiscal gap” increased by about 6 trillion dollars last year. In fact, Kotlikoff makes a compelling argument that Greece is actually in better shape financially than the United States is.

Professor Kotlikoff isn't the first to make that comparison...there are many others. Maybe somebody in Washington or the Fed should start to listen. But, alas, they won't. Their allegiance to the big banks runs to deep.
