Knighty, the complete financial collapse of this nation that began in 1913 hasn't completely run its course yet - so we can't determine if we are better off going forward just yet. i'll tell you what the math tells me going forward, though. 1. the end of social security. 2. the end of medicare ($85 billion looted from medicare in april alone). 3. dramatically increased health care expenses with less service. 4. people on food stamps heading up to 50 million, then 60 million, then 70 million with no end in sight. then we might see the end of food stamps. 5. the savings of the american people ripped off via direct confiscation or some kind of currency devaluation, debasement or currency switch (old dollar = worthless, new dollar = $10 old dollar up to a pretty low maximum exchange limit - they've done it other countries repeatedly, so this isn't a hypothetical action). it shouldn't be long now, though. as bad as all that stuff is when it happens, perhaps the most scary issue is who takes control of a bankrupt america and how do they do it? the rights of citizens are being shredded. the power in the president is being concentrated (or else the boogey man will get ya!). the financial oligarchs clearly have complete control of government, hence, the reverse robin hood policies of government.
