Funny how you mention Mexico and Chile, both economies and currencies
have outperformed the USA for 5 years now. They are more economically
stable too.

But perhaps their governments are not as corrupt and at war with the
world. After all if you took military spending in the last 14 years
out, USA would have no debt. And USA spends more on military than the
other top 25 nations combined as if at war with the world.

You could trim $600 billion from the US miliary and CIA and still spend
more than China and Russia combined.

You in fact could make the case US war mongering is the cause of your
grief. More debt-tax slavery, less services. Yep, Chile and Mexico are
simply more in balance with reality and have more integrity in their
economics.

But 0bama supports military, war, bailouts and corruption. But sure his
words, but not his actions will be reassuring for the stupid voters like
yourself. Fact is 0bama is all mouth and pure corruption.
