Why else do you think they're trying to keep it all afloat? You would wish you became a survivalist, with all the troops and National Guard units deployed overseas. By the way, the survivalists must be saying, "We told you so!" Yeah! “Let the bad times roll” and watch everyone act like animals unlike the way they did in the 1930s.

When and if one comes to, and the eyes focus, the scenery will be a vast junkyard and the dog, well, don't move, he's a junkyard dog extending another dram of whiskey your way before he begins gnawing again. This is referred to as the Modern Business Cycle. Helmet Futures are advised and pepper spray shall only make the beast angrier.

This will lead to the election of soemone like Sarah Palin who will make things even worse. Then we'll get someone like Hugo Chavez, who will make things even worse. Then the Republic will end in a coup. Have a nice day. The solution: move to Luxembourg, Ireland, or Australia as soon as you can. The future as I foresee it – Obama will fail.

The only tried and trusted solution is to format the entire hard drive and re-install the system with all the required software. All the user's downloaded songs, documents and family photos that were not backed up are usually lost. Before I leave I tell them exactly what should be done to avoid this exercise being repeated but six months later I find myself back again doing the exact same thing, only this time he has infected backups too.

I was trying to figure out what his cure for this problem is/was, but am dismayed at his analysis. Anyone can say, "....don't do anything. let a depression be a depression." What has upheld some semblance of "order" so far in this society and crisis, are two very important factors lacking in the last "great depression" and is avoiding possible social disruption: Social Security for the elderly who have lost some up to 45-50% of their retirement monies, and unemployment insurance for the vastly unemployed and who are loosing their jobs by the millions in a short period of time. Sorry, Mr. Bonner you loose in this debate. Your "cure" can only lead to more of the same and more chaos. Taking the “castor oil” that Bill B offers would only bring on social chaos.

You go tell Red China they've got to take a haircut. We're not printing any more coupons. I dare ya. If the leader of the "Free World" doesn't have the balls, who does? They can have my income tax "fiats" when they pry it from my cold dead hands. Reduce debt? You go tell Red China they’ve got to take a haircut. We’re not printing any more coupons. I dare ya.
