    So far I've lived the past 40 some years of my life with the knowledge that the total economic collapse of the U.S. economy was "right around the corner". The catalyst at that time was supposed to be Nixon ending the direct convertibility of U.S. dollars to gold.

    Your claim is inane. It's been dismissed as the fear mongering that it is.

    Well, from what I've read, some GOP members have expressed a willingness to raise taxes in exchange for needed upgrades to our entitlement programs. Will be interesting to see if Democrats are willing to negotiate. Traditionally, Democrats have been against any reforms to the programs, even when it comes to the wealthy for fear of government programs loosing their popularity.

    Robert Samuelson had a write up the other week on how, Social Security being underfunded, some use their SS checks to pay for vacation. I doubt this is what the program was intended for.

    What the world you gonna do when China decides it wants to "call in" their loans they gave us?? And if we can't or won't pay up---what you gonna do when they decide to come over here and get it-----in the form of----the property you own??? That farm that is yours will now be theirs, etc, etc.-----and then OUR government tells us---we've got to give China whats theirs because "its only fair!!!"(Taken from various "O" quotes)

    So you think China will go to war? Our T-notes and T-bonds are not secured by anything tangible, just "the full faith and credit of the U.S. government." You think they are going to repossess the State of Oregon or something?

    It's a vicious cycle. They need to sell their cheap goods to us because we are their #1 importer of goods. We need them to finance our debt. There is no way that China would "call in their loans."

    I understand that leftists in the democrat party want to destroy the Constitution and establish a Marxist state. And you are a leftist!

    I would say give them Alabama, but doubt that would pay the interest.

    Sounds like someone's understanding might be inane. But no big deal. God said the scoffers would come.

    Nicely played, Zaac! You've got no answer to my set of questions regarding the imminency of the downfall of the U.S. economy (which I asked twice) so you resort to ad hominem attacks.

    Let's look at the verses you are pulling out of the Bible.

    2 Peter3:3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

    So you are saying that because I don't think the U.S. economy's collapse is "right around the corner" I'm a scoffer walking in my own lusts and therefore I doubt that Jesus' coming could be imminent. In effect you have linked the return of Jesus Christ to the (necessary) fall of the U.S. economy.

    Wow.

    Yes nicely played by you to now trying to claim victim status after attempting to slyly take your own personal digs at me.

    You asked twice. I answered twice. If you desire the answer that YOU WISH TO SEE, then type it in there.:thumbsup:

    Wow is right. You and many others have a very bad habit of "so you are saying" and thinking you IMPLYING that I said something that I didn't and then arguing against it means that I actually said it.[​IMG]

    Oh you poor thing. Would you like some cheese with your whine.

    You never answer a question in a correct or polite manner. It is always an insult mixed with your hobby of trolling.

    Wrong again, troll breath. The only bad habit he and many others have is repsonding to your trolling posts that use Scripture or anything else we cherish, dragging anything Holy through the mud.

    I would say give them Kentucky. If they can make their way through the country they might be welcomed by good old Mitch aka Ashley Judd. Alabama is on the Gulf. They are already drilling off Cuba!

    Kentucky is worth more than SC and AL put together. I personally grossed 3 million last year.

    It has become obvious you have no understanding, just some trite expressions you picked up from right-wingers who never bother to learn what is really going on.

    I think I know. You are telling us we need to save the GOP so we can have two parties, and the only way to save it is to for it to become more like the democrats.

    If #1 passes, he means #2. If #2 comes and goes, he means #3. If #3 doesn't pan out...
