The same old story(boom & bust) with capitalism,same old solutions.The only solution not use yet,is a major war(n-war) to prime the economic pump.The terrorism war is to small for the pump.We need a new pump/system,we need economic democracy.We could prime the eco-green pump with a grassroots bank and workers-own businesses.Do we prime the old pump with a N-War,or do we get a new one? We need to start making a lot of "NOISE/PROTESTS"! Before they get rid of us "Restless Natives".

We will go to war with china. They will never see their trillions they wasted on the USA.
We will fix their population problem for them, while we rebuild our economic might.
We are no at a point where nukes are meaningless and useless in war. Plus we can always hit them first with stealth ICBMs.
Funny thing about life. Everyone is just waiting to die. :)
It is wasteful to ship raw material to china and then have them shit finished goods to us. All manufacturing has to be done 300 miles form point of sale to reduce carbon foot print. think local act global. we do not need china at all. We have 40 million Americans out of work, and the rich want 40 million illegals to grind down wages.
Our war isn`t with China,it`s with the "Federal-Reserve"! China is a "Strawman"! So is "illegals"! The "FEDERAL-RESERVE" is the "PROBLEM"! China & illegals don`t control the Federal Reserve!
Mmm... priming the pump.
The problem with this priming the pump stuff is that our good jobs have become increasingly specialized and require training. Thus people may often not be able to move easily from unemployment to street paving like they used to.
Also, we have gotten fatter. You won't see too many clear brush in Montana or trail work in Arizona.
I think we need to look at what skills the unemployed have, and what resources are available, and gear a stimulus package towards that.
That the whole idea of a new kind of pump,we`re fatter,we have climate change.We need new things for a new pump.We have the skills to make our own "stuff",we need to create fair-trade agreements.Everybody(world) start making and growing to meet their needs,and trading for what they need,the world economy can come to some kind of balance.A new pump(economic democracy) can do this.The old pump(capitalism) cannot do this,not with profit being the bottom-line.Greed is the opposite of cooporation,something that needed to replace capitalism. We need to change the trade laws!
