Deciding our American and New World future is up to us

Doom and gloom is upon us. Terrible times are coming, mostly financially related. And these terrible things, financially, will be world wide.

Being hungry and cold and out of work did not have to happen.

The USA side of these things make some of us a little bit bitter when we have to suffer the consequences of other’s policies and practices that brought us to this terrible state of affairs. Isn’t life both unfair, and so predictable. Most depressions are related to our human greed, and trying to get something for nothing, or less, as in “margins”. This “time”, it seems like our USA government’s practices and politics of over taxing, over borrowing to where those that loan us see this as a poor choice, and even pandering benefits now funded by borrowing have broken the “camels back”. That so many politicians are still pandering promises of more benefits, often on a massive scale, and so many citizens even still listen to all this, is a bad trend. That so many elected leaders and their hired minions are even today using our public money to preserve the status quo is unnerving.

The politics and frustration be damned. The USA, which is pretty neat, will have to live within its means, and we will have to elect politicians who will do their best with what they’ve got. This is an old idea, and not rocket science, by the way. Taxpayer funded socialism has failed in America. Said another way, we in the USA and New World are the role model for the whole world’s future, even when we sort out hard financial times, which are coming to all of us. Along the way, it is fair to suggest there will be at least one new American political party, though I predict two.

Even depressions do not stifle humans and their energy and love of their families in the long run. I just wish this idea helped when one is hungry and cold and out of work.

To amplify this idea, hope springs eternal. And such past idealist ideas such as English communes, American socialism, and even communism have failed. “Honesty is trying and failing” is one of our American virtues. In the same vein, one can suggest we are smarter as we dig our way out of this latest depression, and the outcome become so American and New World.
