To answer the question "is there anywher...P.S.<br />To answer the question "is there anywhere else to go" I would say - not really. Unless you have some means and/or education to work as an expat in a similar country elsewhere living a similar lifestyle - that's what "social justice" and an "egalitarian" world are all about. Or if you're a laid back mellow yellow fellow you could live on very little in a hut in Latin America maybe, toking and joking with the locals.<br /><br />But for average honest decent hardworking Joe Blow Bootstrap, the US really was the last beacon of opportunity on a hill, yada yada - it's why so many came here.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-82055765388866997732009-11-18T07:54:01.022-06:002009-11-18T07:54:01.022-06:00Hmmm.

I think we will see "centers of authority" controlling things, as there seems to be no stopping the new order - probably EU, China, and their new lap dog the US. Our indebtedness and dependence on others (China, Japan, Saudi) will come due and payable - if it hasn't already after watching the Bow 'n Scraper in Chief greeting the emperor and king this year. <br /><br />The US government will go through the usual upheaval that empires experience when they become 3rd rate, some changes already in progress - i.e. lower standard of living for the masses, brain drain, internal cacophony of clashing cultures, then eventual rationing, substandard assistance for the masses, crack down on unrest, etc. Something similar to Brazil comes to mind (a pseudopopulist gov with extremes of income distribution and high crime because of a large unemployed labor pool - oh wait, are we there yet?). <br /><br />I would recommend not being economically dependent on the government trough. The public trough is where tarnished empires/3rd rate governments look first to trim costs. Not just the "useless feeders" but there may be a lot of affluent government employees scaling down their lifestyles - all for the "common good" of course.<br /><br />Or, "they" could always wage world war to reduce populations and "redistribute" global wealth and resources ... or all of the above.<br /><br />But think positive - I could be totally wrong.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-56612463170322966332009-11-18T00:40:48.424-06:002009-11-18T00:40:48.424-06:00"As much as I resist giving voice to it - the..."As much as I resist giving voice to it - there truly are a lot of useless feeders in the US."<br /><br />I wonder what tptb has in mind for this segment of people. In fact, for us all.<br /><br />Your article is so interesting and rings so true. Yes, we do need to squawk louder. Otherwise, is there anywhere else to go? Please say yes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
