Ah, its Mr. El Matador, well here is a Bull for you ,ME!: That post makes it clear they will NOT be investing in the .U.S, as we have turned ourselves into a shell of the services and finances business(aside from our unrestrained blood lust for building endlessly Weapons of Mass Destruction), we made vast, huge, mindboggling money by just moving money around and making bigger and better BOMBS and enough weaponry to destroy our solar system. So, o my, o my We now have nothing China's wants. The bulk of our GDP was once production, and it became then FLUFF, commissions, interest rate income, massive dealing making creatingr one Monster Pig Corporatioon after another provinding huge income, mega-merging deal makers. We became less and less substance and more and more just making money by moving it around, super dangerously leveraged, and a herd of consumers blinded to danger of living on debt. The rest of the world that envied us i think are having a bit of a revelation that are realizing we are a Madison Avenue creation---an illussion. The United States is having what goes around comes around. We as a nation became a Ponzi Scheme. Seemingly hugely rich, but that was a fraud. i am APOLITICAL, i am not tribal, i , as a part of my spiritual beliefs will not honor any flag( perhaps because i grew up side by side with The Amish, a significant aspect of their beauteous spirituality rubbed off on me). i view the U.S. as just another nation, and this nation is now FUBAR, and it got that way because of their rampant greed, its massive intoxication with its own magnificence while not bothering to note we were rotting from within, running an on a utterly corrupted , non-ethical, selfish(who has the most toys wins) form of capiltalism: non-ethical capitalism is nothing cannibalistic. In March 2003, the U.S. public gave Bush a 85% approval rating(i was screamingly in opposition to the Iraq War and Bush thru-out--declared an EVIL MAN-- and even said we are acquiring a mountain of Bad Karma and their would be PAYBACK.), and this as we pounded our chest like some Territorial Gorilla, "we are strong, we are mighty 'We Kick Ass'" and waved our flag in deep complacent CONCEIT in a delusion of our demented perception we represented the righteous and the good. Do i apologize now 5 years later that i saw all this coming, predicted we were heading for a FALL???? While you back then remained optimistic about AMERICA and the American WAY. You had such faith in the good of american capitalism, when you couldn't see we were was but a pack of ravenous thieves. i have no knowledge at all as to how you have evolved since, NONE, but i do wonder are you still that same optimistic pollyana??????
