That of course presumes there would be anything worth saving in the first place.
A few points...
The bailout of AIG has now cost us double what we spent on New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina. Both are small compared to all the bailouts overall.
The rule of law is gone. Contracts are temporary things that are easily broken by the government on the whims of politicians. Secured bond holder really means greedy speculator who shouldn't be repaid or even considered on proper legal terms. Rule of law really means, I'm better than you because of my background unless I'm not better than you in which case it is your fault because I am disadvantaged.
Pax Americana is still here and is thriving better than ever. We are sending more troops to more places and of course the media will help spin how out of Iraq really didn't mean come home, just be redeployed abroad to places that evoke bettery imagery.
The media has just completely given up reporting news because they would rather worship their messiah. It's June and Obama still isn't funny in any fashion. The media is dying and spinning their own death. Newsweek is giving up the pretense of objectivity, slanting hard left, raising their price and having Stephen Colbert as a guest editor (because who can tell between clown and editor in the media in this age.) Others are following suit and everyone is racing to the bottom of being bankrupt first. Profits don't matter when you have the right intentions about
Speaking of bankrupt the United States is and even the president admits we've run out of money even though we own the printing presses. The same financial pages that whisper about what everyone knows 8-12 months before it becomes the statistics reveal the news are all whispering the same thing. The debt path Obama has put us on is unsustainable and we need a dollar replacement because the U.S. is going to default on its debt with the printing press. Everyone knows it and all are standing around knowing the ship is sinking but not sure of how to bolt to the lifeboats without creating a mad mob.
Don't worry though. HuffPo will point out who Chris Matthews "blasted" today and also who John Stewart "slammed" because the tone and intention are much more important than the facts and details. Just ask our newest Supreme Court nominee about that. In the end Obama will go "talk" to everyone about the fact that we make nothing, borrow everything and how utopia should come about because we want it to happen.
Who would invest in a country that cannot honor debts, rule or law or have news organizations that cannot report the news? It is clearly a country that prefers delusions to reality. No one should invest in that unless they want to lose their return as many are already doing.
Me, I'm working on my garden and making sure my my rentals are filled with good people, enjoying the outdoors and of course my kids. Even in Future United States, or California as we prefer to call it, I'm doing just fine. Good principles work even in the down times. I am a bit sad that the country my kids grow up in though will be a shell of what it could be and that so much harm will come to it due to delusional ideas.
