Terry, that's not only America but everywhere. Do you think it's any different in SA, down here at the darkest tip of Africa?! Socialism in the name of democracy and now fascism in the name of democracy are the hallmarks of the New World Order. >Government will never tell the public its spending is part of the GDP figure, but as a matter of fact, is a huge part of it. We are bankrupt, owing more than anyone on earth, and the GNP goes up. The more government spends, and the more it hires, the GNP will go up also. Every government spent dollar actually has a negative effect on our economy and fast disappearing freedoms. Of course, the reason for this is that theft, of any sort, contributes to the GNP as if it was earned income and what is even stranger is, if you have a building worth say $1 million and burn it down and then rebuild it, you have contributed a $1 million increase to the GNP. For these reasons, war is the biggest contributor to national economic growth because the more the government steals and the more it destroys the greater is the growth. And then, as they devalue the currency and print more paper, they tell us we are all getting wealthier!
