The big boys decided the people were getting too uppity. Imagine, a black man running for President. Big government did away with oversight and maintenance of the infrastructure. Big finance indulged in faulty mortgages to increase profits and to strip the public of home equity. The media popularized the war effort and hid the tax cuts given the wealthy. Reckless deficit spending and mounting debt lowered the dollar confidence of overseas investors. The dollar weakened driving up oil prices for Americans, with oil prices relatively constant for the rest of the world. Consequently, there is an increase in the demand for oil.
The huge food companies took advantage to triple the price of rice and to make other products jump in price also. Voodoo economics [giving corporate tax cuts in time of war] eliminated jobs growth. Indeed, we lose 80,000 jobs every month.
Unemployment increases, home foreclosures, rising fuel and food prices have driven consumer confidence to low levels.
Lower consumer spending eliminates jobs. Thus, there is nothing to stop the downward spiral.
Have a good day.
It is well nigh impossible to prosecute high
The President offers a solution. He would declare suspects and witnesses as enemy combatants and would put them into Gitmo until they confessed [or implicated those really guilty].
