I don't know it could just be the Russians, making fun of us or rubbing salt in the wound to say... but I doubt it. The Russians have a long history, much longer than ours, they've seen bad governments come and go. Maybe we should stop being enemies with them and listen to them more? We might learn something.
I'm afraid though... I mean can the Russians be trusted, are they not controlled by the same powers we are? What's different about them, it almost seems hypocritical to criticize our government when theirs is still sort of run by an ex KGB agent.
Aside from that... the article is spot on, we don't have much time left, America is falling apart, the economy may be in a rally for now, but I'm afraid it's hinting at Hyperinflation.

It's a shame we have to get the real news from Russian media. Soon no more term limits, no more dissent, no more U.S.A. Obama will reduce us to Chavez, Castro type dictatorships with a red star, mostly in the name of saving earth from evil mankind. And the libs will love it while the earth actually cools. Bill Ayre and thousands of college professors must be so content now.

i agree to disagree. great post, but even with my minus 1000 lol which the ats has put upon me i ask you too hear my words. the average person is holding down 3 jobs, and is totally exhausted. just wait for all of obamas hr to hit home in 2010 and 2011 and i bet you will be seeing a whole different atmosphere here in the states. as most people react according to actions. what i mean by this is the american citizen has not a clue what kind of hell will be unleashed upon his family until these asanine house resolutions are put to law which is in 2010 2011. so get ready for some fireworks as it will happen as these laws are put into place. right now it is the same old same old, but when these laws are to be put in place, you will see things change greatly. if i am wrong good for russia, but as they let thousands die in there jail cells without a trial, i really dont give that much credit to a sentence thirty years later and millions of deaths.


ye of little faith

GM and automakers failed due to competition, overproduction, and playing games with the company. They were bailed out for one reason alone: pride. GM will be back it just takes legal BS to do what they need to do.... There's gonna be no financial armegeddon. Inflation will rise and fall, people will work and get laid off, some will win, some will lose just as it has always been in the US. There will be rich there will be poor just as there has always been in every society; at least in this one you have a chance to get rich yourself somehow. The US still rules innovation, research, and information technology. This isn't changing. Russia and china don't even have decent roads, airports or electrical infrastructure...

How ironic that PRAVDA is writing about the death of capitalism in america and her swift transformation into a socialist state. PRAVDA of course means truth. I grew up in USSR and i read pravda at the time there. Whats funny is that cnn fox msnbc all the major news papers in usa now sound just like pravda did during communism in russia. Same retoric state propaganda. Another funny thing is in russia right now they write and talk about the NWO and Iluminaty bankers and what they did to russia in the main steam news and talk shows its not considered alternative topics. Europe is like that too. Here in good ole usa we are considered conspiracy theorists and nut jobs. Thats the difference between usa and the rest of the world. Of course rest of the world has had a long history and people outside of united states are more clever i guess is the word. Less sheeple more people.

To anyone who experienced socialism it was so obvious from the moment the bailout was announced and those hard core capitalists all jumped into the lap of the state.

Very simple.

I keep hearing this from the "wait and see" crowd. Explain this to me: When I was at the local bank this morning, turning soon to be worthless "EE" bonds FAR from maturity into cash....

WHY was I far from alone in my sentiment? There were 2 others doing the same, and the teller told me that made 8 people already today... All this before noon, but "strangely" after the "chosen one's" press conference announcing yet another merger between corporation and state...

Not going to be a financial armegeddon?

Keep your cash on you. Wait and see.

You mean my federal reserve notes that are worthless? So you guys don't get as much money that you didn't earn than you would have. Whoopee.. guess you can't get that harley after all this year. That is a far cry from comparing us to third world nations that can't even eat properly. You all should be ashamed of yourself and count your damned blessings.
