The Great Treasury Heist

A greater number of Americans are travelling overseas, but they are still a minority of the population. This may explain why few people are alarmed about the drop in the value of the dollar. The price of a cup of coffee in Paris or breakfast in London seems of minor importance. That is until you speak to real estate brokers in coastline areas. Foreigners by the boatload are buying up prime real estate, not just the condo in Florida, no thousands of acres of the best real estate going cheap. One result of the irresponsible management of the American economy. The great giveaway of first the country's wealth to greedy corporations and the well connected, and now its land to speculators from overseas is an affront to American pride. So why is there no uproar? In a word the answer is radical individualism, in another age called selfishness. Americans have just one focus today, taking care of number one. So what if Mexicans are reclaiming the south west without firing a bullet, as long as they will do the work for a fraction of what it would cost an American to do the job, it's no problem. So what if the dollar is dropping, as long as the prices at Walmart stay low, that's all that matters. The thought that corporations are selling our invaluable technology at cut rate prices to a potential rival such as China and what we get in return are cheap toys and clothes makes no difference. To the selfish American, the 21st Century American its a win win, we spend, we pawn our assets and the extra we borrow, they loan the money then we spend more. It's like an Addiction.
Lost in all this is the sinister motive of the present Government in undertaking all this spending, after all Republicans are supposed to be the financially responsible party. There is method to the madness of the "Great Treasury Heist". By the time the Bushocrats have finished there will be no money for Government agencies to function. The goal of Libertarian Republicans is to 'get government off our backs' this is one way to do it, bankrupt it. Their policies assure no money for the pesky, Environmental agency, the IRS, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the SEC or any other agency except the Defense Department. At the current rate the government will be broke and out of business within four years. Then, those wimpy Democrats will have no way to get to the Bush Robber Barons, no way to stop the Bush carpetbaggers from moving their wealth into tax shelters, no way those tree huggers will be able to stop the rape of the Alaska, open season on our natural resources, no way to fund anything, because the debt will be so large. It will be left to the Democrats to raise taxes on the Middle Class and the poor, just to keep the government afloat. After four years of that the Robber Barons will be voted back in power to get what is left. Who cares, obviously the American people don't care, if they did they would raise their voices. Instead all that is heard is the Roar of Silence. So what are you going to tell your children when they ask, how did the USA become a Third World Nation?
