Ha! America can no longer be the worlds police force ,we can not afford to be . If we continue with our current policies,we will bankrupt our great nation. The weak dollar policy will compound this in very serious ways , our elected representatives had better look at the facts ,and not engage in politics as usual !! The stage is broken ! Lets get it fixed !

Many businesses, including ours, are doing very well. Actually up 25% in the 1st 6 weeks of the new year. Only construction related areas are being impacted. People are ignoring the baby boomer spending effects and are paying way too much attention to certain coastal locations, over covered by the media. Stop running for cover and run your businesses and your lives.

It is a combination of factors that is affecting this country, the largest being almost $10 trillion dollars of debt. All things considered, the country is essentially broke. The price of a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk is the canary in the mine. If we're not in a recession, we're teetering on a depression.
No matter how it is "spun", we're in serious trouble, due to numerous factorsWe can talk, or we can act. The case of talking, we're going to fall off the precipice; the case for action, we might be able to salvage the economy. But if we take the route that has been taken in the past, figuring that this will, "work it out on it's own", the road ahead will be very rocky.
