Conditions of the U.S. Economy

If I read one more news story about the worsening United States economy I think I will explode. For eight long years we have listened to the hyperbole of President George Bush. It has taken eight long years for the populace finally to, with the force of reality, see his hypocritical agenda. With a smooth Texas drawl, a naive "Good Old Boy" demeanor, and sheer will single-handedly he brought this nation to its knees. Not only were we in our modern era privy to belligerent terrorist attacks on our native soul, our capitalistic economic system was forced to fail. The quintessential foundations of our country were skewed, misrepresented, and purposely disguised for personal monetary gain. The democracy and republic now truly will be tested. Will America stand up for their rights, or will we continue to sit complacent on the sidelines devouring fast food, fast television, fast internet, and immediate gratification? Our educational system tragically has failed at its core level leaving America's younger generation flailing in debauchery. The words on CNN ring true, finally. "Are we asking our young people to die for our country with no understanding or responsibility for what our country is?" Yes. Unless the elderly concede to "pass the spoils" of responsibility to our youth, then the country will continue to fail. As the humorous adage insinuates, "You cannot drag a trailer behind a hearse." Even consent to pass wealth to the younger generation is not enough to save education. Our economy isn't understood. How can any politician fix the economy if they do not posses the intellectual skills to understand it at an aesthetic level? Simply put PRODUCTS MUST BE PRODUCED AND SOLD FOR A PROFIT FOR CAPITALISM TO SUSTAIN. The United States must begin producing goods and services for export. No longer can Republican corporate mongers speculate about the rewards of the "Asian Market." China and India themselves are not politically strong enough to support an independent Free Market system. The East is littered with clan-like religious, social, political behaviors that fail to transcend simple human weakness. Without a higher vision of quality of life based upon a Christian work ethic, Capitalism will fail. Greed, lust, and hatred seem to be too strong among the populaces of the world.
