    Who's to blame for America's economy meltdown and no jobs?

    1)Bush not regulating real estate loop holes in the early 2000's, forcing many foreclosures due to bad loans. This triggered what was coming ahead.

    2)The US is too overpopulated now than ever than it was when Clinton took office 12 years ago. Their is just not enough jobs around anymore.

    3)Offshore gambling. Uncle Sam could of really use them tax millions we blow away yearly in Central America.

    A lot of blame to go around. I just wish someone would stand up and be accountable. I know that overpopulation, illegal immigrants, Pete Wilson and Arnold killed California.

    It's our fault. We have a say in this too, but we keep making the wrong choices.

    Nafta and gatt was the final nail in the coffin for the average american worker. Millions of manufacturing jobs lost forever. Trade policies that favor multinational corporations using slave labor to make the fancy crap many americans can no longer afford to put under their holiday tree. sure... keep blaming repubs or dems, the 435 "representatives" in congress like us distracted as they rape what little wealth and liberty remain.

    The government is at fault.

    There's no notable differences between the statist warfare-welfare policies of the Democrat and Republican parties.

    Its been a nice combination of elected Republicans and Democrats, Osama bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein. All 4 "groups" are most responsible.

    No one is to blame.

    It is just another example of how Democracy and capitalism do not work "in a free market" republic anway once a certain thresh hold has been surpassed.

    because basically a very few people hold the vast majority of the wealth and they in turn can control everything from the top to the bottom. And to think it doesnt happen in the present day is just naive. Because basically they in turn outgrow the government itself and can also control that, as well as policy making. Which is very apparent these days.

    Only thing that fixes us now is a revolution or a complete meltdown of the system as whole, which due to the nature of things will just make it worse. because then there will be a clamoring for a universal global currency which will then make the globe the same as the US now, with just another group of super rich people controlling everything world wide. And unless those people are super human in terms of ethics or charity, I wouldnt expect it to be a very pleasant reality.
