Peter's Viewpoint

After living through the uncertainty (not that anything is certain today) of crisis management in Greece, the American crisis is now showing a backlash like death knocking on the door.

Instead of political parties working together in the USA, they are taking exactly the same stance to protect their votes just as the political parties in Greece continue to do.  It’s like looking at a mirror image with zoom to differentiate the size of the countries and financial numbers that spew the disaster of an oncoming world crash.

I will dare to say that politicians, not only in the USA, have become Patriot Hackers using finance and economics for their own personal gain rather than promoting positive extensions to the basis of ideas that created and put the USA into the #1 country in the world.

Solvency and liquidity are keywords to holding the ground in the USA because the unequal balance that has been created due to the movement of industries to other countries in the name of globalization is now more evident.  The fact is that those words do not bring prosperity, growth, or jobs.  If you don’t think so, then why does China own over a trillion worth of the USA when they are producing and selling the majority of their products to the USA?

The only aspect that has not changed is the extreme profiting by those who have moved production outside of western countries and those who (are probably the same people) manipulate the monetary balances of countries through the buying and selling of CDO’s that are synthetic capital and nothing more than an advanced pyramid scheme.

I guess that I don’t really wonder how America feels to be in the spotlight of failure because the lack of patriotism even from those that have bastardized the laws in their attempt to construe the meaning of patriotism is very clear.

Does your political party come first or are you a patriotic citizen?
I still feel that if there is one country in the world where citizens can make a difference, this country is the USA but it really depends on YOU, the American Citizen.

If you think that the lowering of the S&P rating of the USA to AA+ is only a minor setback rather than detrimental then you are failing to see the whole picture.
