While I agree that the snowball effect of our deficit is really getting out of hand, there's no need to scare the average American Joe Blow into "fighting for the cause". Watch this video, if you're American it should sufficiently make a few drops of pee come out:
Sweet God. Regardless, my point still stands. What can we, the American people do about it? Revolt? Riot? Revolution? It will not happen, at least not until gas is 15 dollars a gallon, and they freeze all of our bank accounts. If it's our job to stop our government from spending unnecessarily, how the hell are we going to do it? Our federal government insists on policing the world, thereby spending a huge chunk of our annual taxable GDP on the military. It's funny that neither party ever mentions it, but argues over peanuts like welfare. One thing's certain - the system our parents and grandparents have setup will destroy our generation. We are going to have to pay for their mistakes. Thanks a lot, grandpa.
If the US spent their military budget on something worthwhile....
ReplyDeleteMy plan is to movie to Britain or Canada. Gotta GTFO while the getting's good.
ReplyDeleteDefinately gave me the chills. @ Wobbles: I've been wanting to move to Europe for some time now.
ReplyDeleteehh it's sad ;/
ReplyDeleteCant watch this vid now, but it looks super interesting, will watch it tomorrow :) and prob comment again after watching it tbh.
ReplyDeletegave me the chills, even if i'm not american. If the US falls, many others will feel the afteshocks too.
ReplyDeleteThis is what the future is going to bring us. I think we can't turn around from this but there could be a miracle. Hell, we got out of the great depression!
ReplyDeleteWhat we can do about it is listen to the teabaggers, regardless of how garbled and inarticulate their message is. If not this could be our Twilight Zone-like near future.
ReplyDeleteThat was rly awesome, and i do agree that america has made a lot of bad decisions but who hasn't?
ReplyDeleteToo many revolutions happening this season :)
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and I love it, I completely agree. While this video is pretty hyperbolized, our generation is getting fucked over very quickly. I think that once this realization sets in, and I mean REALLY sets in, we'll do something about it. The people are VERY pissed, and I think something will happen quite soon.
ReplyDeleteyup china is growing..
ReplyDeletei saw this and figured 'yeah, i should move to somewhere in britain or canada or japan.'
ReplyDeleteDefinately got the chills watching this.
ReplyDeleteWhats crazy is that this is what will actually happen.
ReplyDelete2011, year of the revolution.

ReplyDeleteThis propaganda is so bad it's laughable. I like the part at the end where it says we'll get our jobs back!
