Can the US demise be turned around?

not if the tea party has its way

Yes, yes it could.

The first step would be laying blame where it belongs however that requires reading and critical thinking skills, which are not shall we say an overabundant commodity these days.

It would also require banning corporate lobbyists from any contact with an elected official past or present, barring all elected officials from taking any subsequent private sector position with any company that does any business with any government agency, and turning our single-party oligarchy into a genuine multi-party democracy.

Republicrat. Demopublican. They're just two sides of the same animal. As long as we keep arguing over which end is the *** and which is the head while we ignore the man holding the halter, nothing is going to change.

If you have ever seen a chart of the US economy throughout the decades, its a constant rise and fall. Its called an "Ebb and Flow" economy. Its a very faulty system, with no real cure. If we do our best to dig ourselves out, you'll see, if 5 years we will be doing great. And in 15 years things will suck again.

FYI, our "international position" is always effed up. We have one hand in africa and one hand in south america, and yet one hand in europe. We are over-involved in the world's affairs but that certainly didn't start with Obama. It didn't even start with Roosevelt. Its an american tradition. Play hero.

And gas prices will naturally inflate. Inflation. War. Finite resource. Maybe the shock is over, and America realizes the prices will never come down.

Finally, "war" is such a lose interpretation. Obama didn't start any "wars." But yes he did authorize a lot of war-like acts. But so did Bush! We were in and out of Iraq a million times before the actual war started. Same with Afghanistan. This just goes back to America being over-involved in worldly affairs. Presidents have been doing it for centuries now.

MAYBE...but real hope is fading fast and 2012 cant come soon enough so we can remove those people from the White house. Also a few things...

1. Out with the illegals and Obummers new DREAM act

2. Press for fair trade and call off the free trade agreements-theyve failed

3. Tax breaks for companies to keep/create jobs in the US

and a host of other actions, those 3 just off the top of my head

Not if we keep the same people in office that are in there now. I believe that some people who listen to the AP and believe that the democrats are going to raise taxes on the rich must have there head stuck up some place. The democrats are the rich did you people not see that Obama paid on 12% of his income in taxes yet he preaches IM going to raise taxes on the rich. That is such a laugh.

super question. this is worth noting that no-one gadgets plenty to rules allowing the merchandising of a few pints of blood, or the merchandising of a human egg. because of the fact this is understood that fee for those issues is a wonderfully genuine looking incentive to get human beings to flow in the process the donation technique, that's grotesque in the two situations. And this is understood that for the duration of the two situations, the well being of the donor ought to not be compromised. i've got faith that the finished marketplace fee of a individual's donatable organs, even interior the perfect of situations, isn't tens of millions of greenbacks. i'm guessing it may desire to be extra like fifty or 100000, tops. an significant volume of money, yet not, i think of, sufficient to alter different human beings's minds approximately what that they had like performed with their keeps to be. my own inclination is to oppose rules allowing human beings to sell their keeps to be, because of the fact i think of that the quantity one reason that well being care coverage in usa is in recent times this style of horrendous mess is the criminal variations over the final 0.5 century or so as that have allowed drugs in this united states of america to develop into first and maximum appropriate a super-enterprise enterprise. for this reason, i don't have faith the scientific enterprise in any respect. and that i've got a droop that allowing the sale of organs could land up getting used as a bargaining chip via unethical docs, hospitals, and scientific insurers whilst handling sufferers with constrained ability of paying for high priced therapy. (i.e., virtually every person.) A scientific insurer could desire to declare: "we are able to comply with pay on your hip alternative, yet on condition which you turn over destiny possession of all your inner organs to us." Or something like that. this is the form of project that i think of makes no sense and that could desire to probable be prevented.

Yes. But to do so, we need to get rid of the Democrats and the Republicans and elect people to office who actually care more for America than for their childish, petty partisan political theater.

Sure it can. It's just that we'll need to stop demanding the government to give us everything for nothing.

demise is a big strong to use....we are a work in progress.

If we get obami and his minions out of there.
