If nothing is done about this do you realize what the consequences would be? To me, letting corp. just die off letting the freemarket restructure itself is something in this time of age, seem impossible. There is just too much interlinked to let that happen. If we were in the early 1900s that would be a different story because alot of businesses were mostly independent not fully, but mostly. If one business was to close down, not much would be affected. But, today, with the huge population and interlinked national economic systems, if one big company closes down, businesses worldwide are affected. Sure its important for the US to start healing itself, but at this point in time it doesnt matter what US does for itself, because nothing is going to get better until every country gets better. I just think its nonproductive to think in a regional type of way. Look around you and ask yourself "Where is this made?" and look at the tag. A majority of the stuff is not made in Canada or US thats for sure. With the debt the US govnt owes to various countries I dont think the US is in the position to deny anything anyways. I may sound anti US buy really I just want the US to realize this is just not a national crisis but an international one, and to think that you live in this country bordered away from national influences, you are going to get swift kick from reality.

I get it. I understand how it all works. We're saturated. So what you're saying is it's too late. Socialism has come to America and international at that is here to stay because there is no other way. That IS what you're saying. So Norman Thomas was right in 1944 when he said "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." I beleive with the right sacrifices we can get our Free Enterprise system back. And don't tell me that we have that now because every Gov. dollar given or loaned is a business dollar bought.

I think we may be jacking the thread. I just respectfully disagree. NHF lol
