Get rid of the FEDToo much intellience.
Diversify wealth so that no institution is "too big to fail"
Sever ties and back room deal making between the banking institutions and Washington DC
Don't force toxic assets onto loaning institutions ala Fannie Mae
Too much intellience.
Obvious things = will never happen.
Political parties use the 2 party system to do whatever the fuck they want, and the taxpayers are just their puppets.
Nothings going to change, theyve got it figured out, they can manipulate the public to do whatever they want, were going to hand the country over to the politicians without them firing a shot
The FED = bullshit, but as long as the bankers buy the politicans, were just gonna be their cash cow. Then they destroy the country's economy when theyre done with us.
Exactly.
All this fucked up shit just ain't gonna change. It'll take an enormous, very very bloody revolution to overthrow the FED and the 2 party system in the US. And nowadays most Americans are creatures of comfort, they aren't very revolutionary at all.
We are stuck with this shit for a while.
I don`t know what everyone is gaggling on about, I have already won and will continue to win. I don`t know what else to do.
You can win as an individual.Is there really any other point? The only way to truly "win" on a broad level is to cap the population worldwide and let the death rate overtake the birth rate and adjust the economy accordingly, that way resources are not stressed and we can go back to a society where making quality, forever lasting goods from raw materials is the norm.
But on the broad level things are fucked.

Cheap plastic garbage from China and those who readily buy and consume it is the gravest danger the United States. (Coupled with an ignorant population as well)

It's funny, I am a total flag waving wing nut. But one thing conservatives and liberals often agree on is the corrupt, disfunctional monetary policy in this country.When I graduate school here in less than a Year, im thinking of heading to Canatia for the immediate future.
Now that I've leaned a little about whats really going on, its sad to see republicans and democrats arguing over the tiny discretionary budget. The real problems are SO HUGE, and the average joe on the street is not being told about the impending crises by almost any polititian. Things might get really bad in the next year or two. QE2 will be over by June. We either continue on an insane ponzi scheme or face a crushing depression. There may be no way out but doom.
probably the only getbiger to survive will be bench. :-\

Normally, Id be all for sticking around and fighting, but now I have to think about whats best for my family, kids, etc, and the fact that they pay Machinists better in Canada, better bennies, stronger dollar, etc, is hard to argue against.
Not to mention most of my family lives 50 miles from the border in western washington.
Ill be their escape route in the coming meltdown. ;D

Only place of its kind in the world... we have students from iceland, canada, tropical islands, all kind of shit.
Ahh, I just assumed you meant a regular machinist.Thanks.
Good luck!

Chaos, if I bring you a set of rotors, can you cross drill them (no homo) for me?You like having cracked rotors don't you?
You like having cracked rotors don't you?Shot would already be happening if people could stand discomfort.... The problem is, the technology today has allowed them to manipulate people in such a way, that'd be impossible at this point to start anything, you'd just be branded as a terrorist and the whole country would clap as they lock you up and swallow the key. Times are different. People are different. The people are being so wholly manipulated by the system thy trust that they'll never rise up in revolt, they'll just say "vote the other party in next election, that'll fix it" :-\
I'm waiting for any of y'all to rise up...if not shut the Hell up. I do like you guys, but what is the point in complaining---it's what Americans do best, whine and complain. You don't like the way shits going, get off Getbig and grassroots it up...Or use Getbig as a starting point...then more will join in. Then the politicians eventually will (they have to weigh which side is best, and what is better for them, so they can say that they were a part of it).

Seriously, the people in power watch that stuff, and pretend they don't...I've been told that a lot of senators go to downtown Georgetown for some BDSM fun.

The best idea I've heard concerning social security is put a limit on the age (say 45) and everyone under the age quit paying in for ss and phase it out. I agree with this as I will (hopefully) have a large retirement account as I started saving from my first day of my career. While on the subject, I believe we need a mandatory series of financial management classes.
If I could sell my fucking house, I'd move to Bavaria and live the American dream there. Unfortunately, the banking industry pulled the plug on the housing market in the U.S. So far, I've lost over $150,000....and I am lucky because I still owe a couple of hundred thousand less than what I can sell for.
