There is more to Red States and Blue States than politics... Its about wealth, power and control...

It is very possible that the union will break up before the end of this Century...

Some protection of the domestic market is needed...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there is an economic theory that shows how extremely low slave wages are sustainable for Western Consumer Capitalism...I'm all for it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The notion of protection is as old as the trading economy itself...its ancient...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notions of Free Trade have always been political not economic... Its not really a valid economic theory in the long run...in its extreme it falls apart...just as extreme Keynesianism is doing now. But Keynes admitted that when he said "in the long run we are all dead"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Valid economic theory demands some kind of equilibrium and sustainability...otherwise everything collapses... As we see now...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Free Trade was developed...it was all about maximizing the "natural advantages" of different nations...to produce things... You buy bananas from Columbia...not Canada...! Etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was never about low or slave wages as happens in China and parts of Asia... The Era of greatest growth in the US was an Era of greatest protectionism...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People wrote editorials thanking Pres. McKinley for: "Protecting us from the pauper labor of Europe"...in 1900!! This, long before the Internet or this current incarnation of the so called "Global Economy"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This problem is not "new" or somehow related to technology or the Internet... Its carved on the walls of Egyptian Temples...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If China wants to make TVs in the US...like Japan was "forced" to make cars in America in the 80's... Fine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solve the massive Trade Deficit with Asia...and Bring the Pentagon War Budget into the modern era.... Get Canadian/UK style Single Payer Health Care...and get health care in general off the backs of "job providers"....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND EVERYTHING WILL IMPROVE...ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY...

Of course the Bush Collapse and Depression made that situation even worse...We know that the "answer" to the Depression is not impoverishing the collapsing middle class even more...!Far from being radical and socialist...Obama is really pushing the policies that were part of the Repubican Gospel as recently as the late 1990s...!Ron Paul is very popular with "Obama Republicans"...a/k/a "RayGun Democrats"...people who should be voting Democratic...but can't because of their racial, regional or religious "situation"...many of these people are also uninformed. less educated ....or informed only by Fox or AM Hate RadioThis issue of "Republican Populism" is new...!! It started with the Tea Party...but was still confused about what it wanted... Did Teabagger Granny really want her Medicare Cancelled...?Paul's Free Drugs and No Wars message could be right out of the Democratic "Hippie" Left...!

THE EUROLAND CRISIS...A DEPRESSION IS ALMOST INEVITABLE IN EUROLAND...AND THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS...THEIR BANKING CRASH COULD TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE GLOBAL BANKING SYSTEM...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.   THE CHINA RECESSION...CHINA IS A BUBBLE WAITING TO POP...REAL ESTATE IS BLOATED...AND THE GROWTH CAN NOT CONTINUE...THAT COULD TAKE THE WEST DOWN EVEN FURTHER...AS GROWTH DISAPPEARS IN ASIA...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.   THE DOLLAR-GOLD CRISIS...  IF THE DOLLAR GOES DOWN VIS-A-VIS GOLD...NOT THE EURO...GAS COULD HIT $4 IN THE US...THAT WILL CLOSE DOWN THE US ECONOMY IMMEDIATELY...JUST LIKE IT DID IN THE SUMMER OF 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.   THE BOND BUBBLE AND THE PARADOX OF ZERO RATES... ZERO INTEREST RATES ARE LIKE AN OBJECT APPROACHING THE SPEED OF LIGHT...STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN...AND IN THE CASE OF ZERO RATES...THEY HAVE DISTORTED THE BOND MARKET BADLY...AND ANY REVERSAL OF ZERO RATES WILL LITERALLY TEAR THE GLOBAL BOND MARKETS APART...  WE ARE ENTERING A MONETARY "BLACK HOLE" NOW... AND ITS TOO LATE TO COME BACK...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.   ZIONIST-IRAN-ARAB SPRING DEBACLE...  THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION...ARABY IS GOING FUNDAMENTALIST....AT THE SAME TIME THE US IS PULLING OUT OF THE REGION...  THIS COULD BE A TRIGGER FOR THE $4 GAS...OR WORSE...IF ISRAEL DOES SOMETHING STUPID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.   THE US ELECTION...OBAMA SHOULD WIN...ESPECIALLY AGAINST THIS REPUBLICAN FREAK SHOW...THAT WOULD SETTLE THE MARKETS GREATLY...BUT IF OBAMA LOSES IT ALL HITS THE FAN ON WALL STREET...AS THE WORLD AWAITS THE REPUBLICAN FREAK-O-NOMIC POLICY SHIFT...! TOTALLY BIZARRE SINCE THEY REALLY HAVE NO NEW POLICIES...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.    THE SUPREME COURT DUMPS OBAMACARE...  THAT WILL BE A MAJOR DISASTER... HEALTH CARE WILL BE THROWN INTO CHAOS...BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN...AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE NOW...THIS THING IS TOO FAR ALONG FOR THE SUPREMES TO TRASH IT NOW...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.    SOME AMERICAN BANKS COULD COLLAPSE ...IF ONE OF THEM IS PULLED DOWN BY "OFF THE BOOKS" ACCOUNTING OR MORTGAGES THAT HAVE NOT BE REVEALED...US BANKS ARE IN THE ICU...AND THAT IS NEVER A GOOD SIGN...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.    IF REPUBLICANS "SWEEP" THE ELECTIONS IN CONGRESS...EVERYTHING COULD COLLAPSE OVER NIGHT...AS REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY...ITS JUST FOX RANTS AND NONSENCE...  THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR BLOW TO THE US AND GLOBAL ECONOMY ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.   SOME UNSEEN EVENT...NATURAL, ECONOMIC OR MAN MADE...THAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING OF ALL...A YEAR IS A LONG TIME...AND HAS WE KNOW...MORE OFTEN THAN NOT..."SOMETHING" UNFORSEEN HAPPENS...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5903231-7392096189075255075?l=gloomanddoom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5903231/posts/default/7392096189075255075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5903231/posts/default/7392096189075255075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gloomanddoom.blogspot.com/2011/12/2012-predictions.html' title='2012 PREDICTIONS...TEN MAJOR PREDITIONS WE SHOULD KNOW...!'/><author><name>BALTHAZAR</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ArIelCtSHvo/S1ydpgeclvI/AAAAAAAAAAc/BDZayA740EE/S220/avatarmidd.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903231.post-7176811436992480866</id><published>2011-12-30T20:50:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T20:54:23.200-05:00</updated><title type='text'>KRUGMAN ON HIGH SUICIDE RATE IN IRELAND...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KRUGMAN CONTINUES TO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF ST.

teachings...and Christianity...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christianity teaches us that the rich are better than the poor...and that there is "something wrong with" poor people and they are undeserving...and should be made fun of and ignored...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christianity also says..."Hit the other guy before he can hit you"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence the need for a Perma-War Budget...and the constant search for more people "not like us" that we can bomb...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preferably little brown poor people living in remote huts...so serious property damage can be kept to a minimum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this season we must all try to be better Christians...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Vote Republican like Jesus would do...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>MSNBC SHOULD FIRE CHRIS MATTHEWS...HERE'S WHY</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc99;"&gt;Chris Matthews is really a very stupid "liberal"...if you listen to him...He doesn't make good arguments for the Progressive cause... He is not really a thinker...its all rants and "bomb throwing" with Matthews...much like Fox does on the right... I don't know why he has his own show...perhaps they think he appeals to the less informed white people that Fox wants to dupe...Matthews is really much like The Newt...an old guy who no one would listen to unless they make bizarre comments... Both are pitiful really...a bit unzipped.My view is dupes are not needed... The facts speak for themselves... The elites looted the economy and shipped it to Asia...end of story.As to the Fox "contributors" they are pitiful freaks...actors who couldn't get real acting jobs... Its all lip gloss and stupidity on Fox 24/7... Fox just makes it up as they go along... Now many Republicans in office are realizing that the "Fox Echo Chamber"...can not defend them all the time... ( eg the payroll tax debacle...)Progressives could destroy Fox in a fair debate... I would love to see a well prepared Obama go after the "Genius" Gingrich in a debate... Obama's problem is that he can't really go for the jugluar...like the conservatives do...mainly because his Goldman handlers are holding the money bags... So real Progressives have to "fill in the blanks" on their own veiw of what Progressivism really is...or could be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5903231-6992572653925929953?l=gloomanddoom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5903231/posts/default/6992572653925929953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5903231/posts/default/6992572653925929953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gloomanddoom.blogspot.com/2011/12/msnbc-should-fire-chris-matthewsheres.html' title='MSNBC SHOULD FIRE CHRIS MATTHEWS...HERE&apos;S WHY'/><author><name>BALTHAZAR</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ArIelCtSHvo/S1ydpgeclvI/AAAAAAAAAAc/BDZayA740EE/S220/avatarmidd.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903231.post-8099731542631280233</id><published>2011-12-22T10:25:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T10:25:49.501-05:00</updated><title type='text'>PUT DRONES ON THE MEXICAN BORDER...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;Unarmed drones could solve the Mexican border question quickly and cheaply...
