The Economic Depression and Why I Welcome It

Barack Obama and the powers that be continue to tell us that we're simply in an economic recession and that we all we have to do solve is spend more money.

Are they using that 'new math' that politicians love so much? I thought the United States was deeper in dept than ever... I thought the U.S. would have to pay nearly 1 Trillion dollars to simply cover the interest on all of the recent stimulus packages.

What a bunch of lies! Our politicians in power do not care for making this country into a better place. They only seek to reimburse those that got them in power, consolidate more power and make more money from their inside trading and/or 'suspending laws' temporarily to let their buddies (who coincidentally ALL turn out to work for Goldman Sachs) buy stock in companies they know are going to receive bail out money (which would be a conflict of interest. Or, inversely, short the stock of companies they know the government will choose not to prop up (again, coincidentally the companies that were Goldman Sach's competitors).

What this country NEEDS is a huge depression. I certainly don't want to live through it as that sure sounds like a horrible time. But if we hope to salvage anything from what's left of our country before it becomes the very thing our country was founded in opposition to (e.g. tyranny, taxation without representation, communism, fascism, totalitarianism, etc.) it's going to take something as horribly dramatic as an all out depression.

Only then, when people are so destitute, hungry and cold that they begin to realize the lies the progressive movement has been pushing on us since the 20's, do we stand a chance of rebuilding our country into the world power we know it can be.
