As we move closer to the much needed Sequestor notice how both parties are starting to back-off. Republicans because of cuts to defence which is pork-laden and democrats because of minor cuts to entitlements. I said it 30 years ago, it's not a question of if we go bankrupt but WHEN! How many in this fast food, fast divorce, cell phone addicted society could stand humbly in a soup line for a few years untill the caos settles down? Hunker down and get ready cause whether you like it or not it's going to happen.

Ever wonder why Americans are so convinced it's a bad thing to live in a more "liberal" country. Those "liberal"countries enjoy a better quality of life than our system provides. When you travel through their countries that find our refusal to improve the lives of most Americans, to make a few of us wealthy beyond dreams, proof that we just aren't that smart. Here are some facts: Country Quality of Life Index Purchasing Power Index Safety Index Health Care Index Consumer Price Index Property Price to Income Ratio Traffic Commute Time Index Pollution Index 1- Switzerland 194.11 127.42 74.22 79.51 148.69 6.53 30.88 35.49 2- Germany 184.42 114.22 78.80 71.96 92.83 4.80 33.12 45.14 3- Norway 183.43 94.21 80.93 79.04 166.65 7.10 18.50 19.22 4- United Arab Emirates 177.07 134.89 64.05 63.89 80.79 4.49 17.00 69.17 5- New Zealand 174.28 88.59 53.19 86.81 107.37 5.71 25.25 17.08 6-Sweden 171.72 99.33 63.76 86.76 109.02 9.01 23.00 32.50 7-Canada 164.99 110.72 60.18 71.99 101.70 4.85 40.44 41.59 8-Denmark 163.12 99.26 54.69 89.81 125.72 6.13 31.00 34.17 9-Australia 162.03 108.67 59.38 79.11 130.28 6.94 37.09 37.25 10- Austria 159.89 98.78 55.92 83.18 98.44 6.69 23.00 42.84 11-Netherlands 158.07 93.65 71.60 70.37 108.48 6.34 26.83 41.67 12- United States 140.62 118.75 35.07 65.52 85.55 2.82 We're number 12 !, We're number 12 ! |

Thanks for proving my point. Right Wingers always have am excuse to ignore facts that don't like. Those European "Socialist" countries provide a quality of life average Americans can only dream of. Last year I was at a resort on Costa Rica's west cost. 80% of the people there were European Middle Class workers, mechanics, postal workers, carpenters, etc. enjoying their 30 day vacations, government health care, and sufficient incomes to afford a 30 day vacation at a nice resort for themselves and their children. Yep, the average American would hate to enjoy that quality of life, why that high level of intelligence might make you a "Leeeeeeeeeberal". |

Now that's creativity ! Maybe being an entrepreneur gave him the confidence to name 'em what he wanted. Kinda like "A Boy Named Sue". I wouldn't have those guts. |

Thanks for proving paranoia reigns supreme. You found me out ! Knowing this issue would be disputed on TOPIX, I personally created and funded the business organizations and NGOs that rank America behind those "Liberal" countries in quality of life. Damn, Foiled Again ! Are you sure you and Chevy don't attend the same secrete meetings |

good post. No one likes all that crap and most times don't read it. I appreciate you not posting garbage like some do. Good Link. Those Europeans are living high on the hog off horse meat, must be their better standard of living posted by the boring poster. |

Informed opinion you lose the general public when you even say the word socialist. We as a country have been taught to link socialism to Hitler to scare the uninformed public. If they knew anything about history then they would know that in the depression era Germany was the only country that was prosperous under his socialist government. He destroyed it with his hate and at the same time destroyed the ideology that socialism is good. Capitalism is defined to me as greed and is destroying not only our moral values, but our country as well. It will fall just as all the greedy empires have in the past. It's just a matter of time. Alot of modern advancements have been originated in Germany like space travel. Why not a proven better form of Government? Capitalism is nothing more than government-granted monopoly of the american economy to the top 400. Informed opinion I'm with you only we better be quite or we they might send a drone to our house to blow it up. Good day and God bless.

Homophobe? Check. Makers/Takers argument? Check. Probably bigot, afraid a black man might get a piece of bread on his nickel? Check Gun-toting paraniod redneck? Check. All the ingredients of a typical Republicans world view accounted for. No surprises. |

Fear is what the Republicans thrive on, instead of morals like their founding father Lincoln.

What are you saying; that you are a babbling baffoon and no one should listen to you. If so; then I'd have to agree. Good post. |
