Wow Good attempt at redirecting blame, fifty percent of US wealth gone because of one administrations actions and you don't think the leader is to blame? No other country has had their currency fall by the same margin as the US, on the contrary the rest of the world has stead consistent while the US lost, why could that be? In your attempt to rewrite current events you hide the facts and discredit the truth but not everyone falls for it, I don't and others don't as well.

My economics are fine sparky, with the rest of the world having a raise in their standard of living why not sell to them and make more money than to the US? Yes they are farther to ship to but their currency keeps it's value unlike the Greenback. Everything we sell is used and needed on the world market, not just the US, remember that.

Don't seem to remember any problem with sub prime mortgages here but our banking system is regulated thankfully so that could be why.

How did I ignore the 3000 plus dead from 9/11 which the government knew full well about prior to 9/11? Or the over 4000 dead in the middle east in a conflict that is based on lies, to die for a cause is one thing but to die for lies and deceit is a tragedy, nothing more, nothing less. Your comparison is a insult to everything history has taught us, you seem to be trying to say that the Iraqi's are better off now to be in the most violent part of the world unable to defend themselves at a time when they need it most. That is the US doings and nobody else's.
Nice story about environmental laws taking jobs away but lets look at facts, last year when Chinese factories were recalling toys with lead paint nobody said they needed jobs, lets overlook this did they? Fact is as first world countries we need to lead the world at cleaning up our environment and that comes with a price, it US companies want to take their manufacturing of shore then tax their products when the come into the country so it's not an option. Your going to have to pay more but at least the jobs would be there for you and your kids.
