Don't wish to offend . . .

14 years ago

Don't wish to offend anyone, but I refuse to live in denial. The U.S. is experienciing the biggest economic downturn in my lifetime. People are suffering here, and, for the most part, the rich don't care.
They live in gated communities with security guards and ride in limos to work. Their, "domestics," many of which are illegal, do most of their grunt work. These poor people are paid, "nothing;" as the rich are very good at leveraging their fear!

You gotta know that if the Government is printing and spending the kind of money they are today, it is clearly frightened and fearful that the whole financial house of cards could come tumbling down. The operative word today in Washington and on Wall Street is not Billions - - but TRILLONS!

If things were going very well in Big Dog Country, why do so many people want out - - including those escaping to Ecuador? It's because the American Dream is Dead! and people have been either priced out of their homes or have lost them through foreclosure. Jobs in America? What's that?

If the Government in the U.S. should ever fall, or even have to face rioting in the streets, it is my belief the very poor in less stable countries will go after what ex-pats possess in their Countries. Think you are going to get help from the local police? Think again! Corruption does not respect international boundaries.

Stay tuned; you will to hear my blog on the, "nature of man."

Be Safe. I be just a, "Little Dog," in a, "Big Dog Country."
