Big government and their goons in the military, they take what isn't there's. Some things never change!

Bush I = Clinton = Bush II = Obama.

Couldn't agree more, they have all been controlled, probably by the people who own the international banks and the federal reserve.

If someone tries to mess with their money then they are in a lot of trouble. Both Saddam and Gaddafi had new plans for a gold backed currency. This was a threat to them because it would make obvious the devaluation of the dollar and Euro when these other currencies quickly appreciated vs them.

You'd think that after all these decades and decades of throwing our troops around other random countries that obviously don't support us that we'd learn to oh, I don't know...NOT DO IT ANYMORE.

HUR DERRRRR.

The only reason the rest of the world hasn't abandoned you is because you constantly intervene in world affairs.

Bush said you're in a "fight for your way of life" and he wasn't lying.

You can go all the way back to the GD and see what it'll be like when you retreat and are forced by new world powers to pay for your self-entitled mentality and your consuming like locust.

It won't be pretty and your social safety net will be nothing what it looks like today.

The dollar in 1913 is equal to about $.03 today and that will declining value will continue on for the long-term foreseeable future.

Actually, if it drops to $.01 you can all be part of the 1%'ers but that won't bode well for people that want to invest in America, what little there are of them.

That was kind of a vague argument, where are those troops going to be stationed? Is there more main stream news sources that back up this claim? Is this anything beyond the amount of troops we have stationed in Africa as it is?
