The employment situation is getting worse in the US, at least I hear that from other people. The US economy is not in good shape. The deficits are soaring to remarkable new heights -- and the "official" deficit numbers of around $300 billion per year plus do not include the State deficits (which are mostly illegal), nor does it include something like $150 billion being taken from Social Security, nor does it include the price of going to war. Naturally everything related to government services must be cut - we have to pay for the war somehow and will do so by not having the basic services we expect from our government. And of course we assume the Chinese will lend us the money for all of this -- some foreign policy. For a mere $500 billion dollars, we get to find out first hand what it is like to live in Israel.
