Thread: Clinton: "If Not Paying Taxes Makes Him Smart, What Does That Make The Rest Of Us?"

I would rather concentrate on the critical juncture that this country is in. The State of the World Forum in NYC in 2000 was eye opening, because a lot of it was handled by the Futurist Society. This was basically a non partisan affair, in those times, and James A, Baker and Mikhail Gorbackev, the founder, were the big names.

What they were talking about even then was the developing world passing up Europe and the US---basically because people are more business oriented, and less charitably oriented. They said information technologies would be more quickly adapted in the Third World, so eventually these countries "could" surpass the US. And a big aspect of the Forum was "The Commission on Globalization"..well here's part of it, on the left side:http://www.ilo.org/public/english/wcsdg/index1.htm

Now with the formidable rise of China---and I remember people saying 20 years ago that the 21st C. would be the "Century of China"---in the worldwide consumer goods market, and the rise of India in the services market---the US is entering a horrible crisis. Except this is like salt in the stew pot, or water seeping through the mine---it's not the most headline grabbing or obvious thing, and people just kind of shrug it off. And combine that with the onslaught of 3rd World refugees, and religious zealots.

I say we are in a repeat of Europe of the 1930's---right here, right now and people are not even seeing it. But when liberals start to lose they grab for the rails in panic, and all kinds of accusations come out of their traps.

Very true CaptainROn, and we have to hand credit to Donald Trump for being the first and only candidate running for President in 2016 to accurately name the source of many of America's worst problems... China, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia!
