I think everyone should write in and tell Obama what our priorities are: you can do so at this link: http://democracyforamerica.com/activities/134-president-you.

There’s a bit of a disconnect here because there are fewer and fewer “product producing” jobs or businesses here in the U.S.A. I agree with you Robert, but it’s been pointed out many times before that “services” don’t cut it in the long run. How much can you snow-job people into thinking that they need your “consulting” SERVICE or your “creatively cool” T-SHIRTS?

Hi Robert – There’s sure a lot o’ sense & truth in what you say, but I don’t pretend to know the answers. One comment that I feel needs addressing though – “When you find that your higher income today buys less than your income of five years ago, you are living in a country…” What to do when you find your income is equal, or LOWER, today than 5 years ago?? That’s when you’re in real trouble. I think you’ll agree that is the case w/ many in the current workforce today (at least w/ those who still have jobs).

It is complicated, but also simple. As some point in the current administration, there will be NO CHOICE but to DEVALUE the U.S.D. I am stashing gold and Euro Dollars at this time, to be on the right side of what promises to be a disaster for most of the populace. Remember “hoard” (as the politicians demeaningly call it) gold and Euro Dollars and/or Australian Dollars, all of which move opposite the U.S.D., on a correlation basis. If you accumulate Japanese Yen or Swiss Francs or any number of other currencies which move in tandem with the U.S.D., you and they will go down in flames when the U.S.D. is deliberately decimated “to help our economy.”

We really have to help ourselves with intelligent, long-term planning, such as the recommended game plan, above. Anyone foolish enough to think politicians are in it to help the people has not been paying attention. Once in power they don’t need us, anymore, and their “policies” which empower them all the more, at the expense of the rest of us, have never been more blatantly obvious, than at this time.

Robert, I think we need to stop writting essays and starting creating slogans and rhetorics. The left don’t have the attention spans to understand even one of the long pieces.

I don’t live in U.S. and recently go back to Hong Kong, one of the cities that most identify with Austrian school of economic.

But if U.S. lose its liberty, the rest of the world will lose a shining city on the hill to learn from.

China is getting stronger because of its productivity and savings. But will China allows liberties and free speech? Fortunately Hong Kong is still a special area that allows freedom.
