Agreed. This video is far more interesting and shorter, the greatest cry ever via the show Intervention:

You want then you do it. That is the only way you'll believe it's done to your standards.

Just once I'd love to see a post from this OP that linked to a nice bullet point type article, maybe even one that said "Yes the US has problems, but among similarly well developed economies those problems are actually less likely to result in unrest or upheaval. If you want to understand what changes are smart to plan for here are some things that will help people at bottom / middle and top income levels..."

I can dream, can't I ??

Alan Grayson was one of the few politicians who understood the money issue with these out of control central bankers. Massive transfer of wealth is right.

I don't do bullet point charts for people anymore. I'm retired now.

Besides, If I do all the work for you what's left to discuss????

If the OP doesn't even want to provide any analysis on their points, what is the incentive for anyone else to believe it?

They obviously don't believe it enough to even give a summary. Especially for those at work supporting their retired butt.

*Yawn*

Your turn will come, mate. I just hope you ,and everyone else, makes it to retirement with good health instead of the normal worn out body full of pain since that is what awaits many retirees.

Besides, you've got your facts all wrong anyway.
