“And whats with the middle East? The ongoing and forever news out of there is getting obnoxiously boring and tedious. Those people over there obviously don’t want to, and can’t be modernized, I guess like the Amish in the USA.”
Well, I sure agree with your sentiments on this statement. We shouldn’t be there, if we need oil, we ought to buy it from Russia. None of it makes sense. It never has.
As far as pensions, sometimes I wonder if it’s all just an illusion. The banksters can print enough to cover whatever is needed, really without consequence. As long as they have the paper markets to keep commodities under control without showing an inflation scare, I really don’t see why money can’t be printed endlessly. Seriously, it’s never going to be repaid, anyone with half a brain knows that. 🙂
Everything is a mirage… 🙂
