This article states the reasons the US will continue it's deterioration into 3rd world status.
Well, that WAS the plan.....and it's been ongoing for about 30 years....
Crush the middle class (anti-union, anti-educators, anti-fair taxes for the wealthy, pro-minimum wage, anti-abortion, anti-regulation,) ALL Republican, ALL lead to Third World status...

"Pro-min wage" crushes the middle class? *******s are always crying about Republicans wanting to get rid of the middle class, can't you guys come together on something?
"Anti-abortion" crushes the middle class? *******s fight to allow people to abort children, Republicans fight to stop them... so according to your retarded logic letting people have more children = crushing the middle class.
"Anti-union" crushed the middle class? The overwhelming majority of middle class workers aren't in unions.

Reason: off topic
Wow, is the world ever not on some apocalyptic path of doom with you Jim?
How is the weather out there? Jim:"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"
Especially to believe Zerohedge, which is a tin foil hatted "believer in a sweeping conspiracy that casts the alumni of Goldman Sachs as a powerful cabal at the helm of U.S. policy, with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve colluding to preserve the status quo." (this is from their own about page).

Makes me glad I'm old and won't see the worst
All of the things that you mention are what caused the problems.
Unions, government control of education, lopsided tax system, minimum wage, abortion and regulation are all unconstitutional.

I find it interesting that the Bush/Obama administrations both have GS members in key positions. But sometimes they come from JP Morgan and Citi, but regardless, which of these subjects do you dispute :
High unemployment
Falling wages and household income
Rising inflation
Rising poverty rate
Increased food stamp participation
Increased wealth concentration
Rising debt percentage to GDP
Corporation influence on the political system
Broken tax system
Lets say you dispute none which I hope is the case because the data backs them up. Does it looks like our country is on the rise? or does it look like our country is on the way down ?
If you are so positive that happy days will be here again please tell us doomers how this will come about ? Tells us how wages are going to rise? Tell us that inflation is not a problem or how corporation influence will become a thing of the past. Tell us how UE is going to drop dramatically?
Here is another, dispute that this is not a good description of 3rd world countries :
Quote:
High unemployment, lack of economic opportunity, low wages, widespread poverty, extreme concentration of wealth, unsustainable government debt, control of the government by international banks and multinational corporations, weak rule of law and counterproductive policies are defining characteristics of 3rd world countries. Other factors include poor public health, nutrition and education, as well as lack of infrastructure—factors that deteriorate rapidly in a failing economy.
If you can not dispute any of the facts listed and you agree with his definition of 3rd world countries I have to call you out of being a closet doomer.
