Just another day in America.

Tuesday morning in San Diego in what to most of the other States what be considered  mild Spring weather conditions is going to be a beautiful day here. The Sun is out, and by 11:00 am it will be in the 70's, short pants temperatures. One would never know that there are problems in the World living here. We are insulated by geography, economy, weather, and State of mind. When I drive down to the beach this morning there are no soup lines, no homeless on the streets, barely a foreclosed home or bank repo. sign visible anywhere. No demonstrators marching in the streets. Nothing, no sign of problems anywhere.

Yet America has ongoing two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an economy that has all but collapsed unless, you are a Wall St broker, Banker, or manufacturer of Military components. Today as we see everyday Washington Politicians banter about professing to know what is good for all of us non-privileged citizens, as they loot the country, take bribes openly from any Corporation that hands them out, while professing that they work so hard at their jobs, and yet again not much gets done. Remember those "Green" jobs that were talked about during the Presidential election? While Congress and the Senate do nothing but fill their own car trunks with buckets of stolen cash, China, and India are making solar panels, wind turbines to sell back to us numb-skulls to buy  in the USA. Kinda like what we see with Wal-Mart now. The markets will be flooded with low cost/ cheap products before we even start to make our own in competition.

The Financial markets, the Banks, and Wall St. are back to their old greedy ways of gambling, buying influence in Washington to kill any type of reform.

Big Pharmacy, the same thing, buy Politicians to kill any reform that allows consumers to have choice, and a lower cost product. Just last night there was a commercial and there are many every night with a product for sleeping through the night, and  at the end of the commercial came the disclaimer, this product can cause "Death" and in some case "Suicide" !!!

Pot, marijuana has never killed a Human being in the History of Humanity, but legal Drug companies can sell this type of shit on the market that kills it's users faster than cigarettes?

And, this has the approval of the FDA on top of it. WOW!

We are now surging again in Afghanistan to appease Corporate sponsors, republicans, and the Military Industrial complex that will cost American taxpayers another $50 Billion a year in "Blood" money. We get nothing in return except a few more parades for the returning dead soldiers, and more photo opportunities for spineless, cowardly Politicians who would never fight in any war, anywhere, including right here in America.
Most every State now is close to bankruptcy, unemployment is still rampant, no jobs being created anywhere, but life goes on.
Today will be a nice day in San Diego, the Chargers are on a 8 game winning streak, the Sun is shinning,
garbage is being collected on time, and I have not a care in the World.

2ND Great Depression is here and now.

Just today I am reading that the mortgage delinquency for top credit borrowers is showing major cracks in it. These people are being laid off from their jobs and cannot pay their mortgages and it stands to reason that these people will not be working anytime soon as well. After 50 years of false, deceitful and out and out lying by business and our own Government we must as a Nation come to grips with the facts, and they don't look pretty.
The BIG Ponzi scheme has finally unraveled!
This country is in a downward spiral, and only a few honest brokers are even talking about it. The rest, sell their spin only to make money from the lies, but who really cannot see where we, our Nation is headed?
Large Corporations have laid off as many people as they can so far and now small business is following suit, and and on top of the Government has gotten into the act.
So then if Private business is not hiring, and Government is not hiring, than who is?
Nobody!
We have been spending $13,000,000,000.00 every month since 2003 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet Republicans are yelling that there is no money for National Health care?
Our country is Broke people.
We are simply printing money, borrowing from foreign countries at a rate that will crush this country in not too long a time, and that time is now.
One of the first things that we need to do is get the Hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan period. No more Democracy Bullshit because that is never going to happen. We can stay in both these countries  for the next 100 years and nothing will change.
Both these illegal wars are G.W. Bush/ Dick Cheney failures for America, and putting both these criminals  behind bars for life would be a good first step.
Right now we are "America the Imperialist" country with our hands and fingers stretched into every country for their resources. When Republicans talk of Democracy they mean countries that will sell us valuable resources that  we want without having to invade them if they make choices that we do not want to hear.
Amazingly the Republicans talk about war on terror but it has been here for 40 years already. The drug cartels from Mexico are here now by the 10's of thousands murdering people everyday. Our Southern Borders have no border!
The biggest actual threat to Americans today are these gangs that are already here in the USA in every city, and instead of fighting them, Bush and Cheney forced the country into 2 wars in other parts of the World.
Talking about failed leadership, these two incompetent morons were the last straw in the camel's back.
The war on drugs has been fought for the past 100 years and has never deterred anybody from using drugs, or obtaining them. We need to address and change this policy now if we are to save ourselves from a further erosion into Never, Never land.
The Government has spent $$ one Trillion dollars on the war on Drugs over the past 100 years and it has lost the battle before it even started.
We need new direction here, because all we see is wasted lives, and money for nothing.
Drugs need to be legalised, no different than legal Pharmaceuticals drugs are today as well. That needs to be done immediately to address the wasted money and resources.
Stopping both wars, changing direction on the war on drugs saves this country $100's of Billion annually. With that money we should be investing in what we really need now and into the long range future, Renewable Energy resources. Wind, Solar, plant based fuels.
If we do not see the emergency of where America is today, we won't have the luxury of repeating the 1970's fuel crisis over again when we were warned by our unfriendly non- allies in OPEC and then did nothing about it. It will have been too late.
What more proof do you need to see?
Who could have ever imagined to see G.M.,  and Chrysler in Bankruptcy already, and that hundreds of banks have  failed already, again and  again?
Wake up call America.
There is still time to get your act together, but that window is closing extremely fast.
We,  meaning our country, America needs to have a new philosophy in how we live, and how we will be able to maintain our quality of life but at the same time come to grips that the mindless, selfishness of today and the past is over.
The World is a finite place!
There is no where else for us to rape and pilliage if this Human Species experiment fails.
