I tried to post this comment the other day but it failed to appear, I don’t know if it was by error or choice. But I have taken the liberty to try to post it again.

America is doing fine, well corporate America. You don’t count, the West has to get all your
incomes down to sweatshop level so that it can compete with its Eastern competitors. Greece is just about right for some corporate mob to come along and offer the desperate public some very low paid boring shitty jobs, they’ll call it investment and growth. Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland are almost there. We in the UK are seeing our standard of living crumbling before our eyes, and so it goes on. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is corporate economics, the people are units in the production system and to keep profits up they have to cost very little. This naive idea that “our country” is a co-operation between the people and big business, has to be ditched. The corporate world will rape, plunder and destroy the planet in pursuit of profit, it will decimate the living standards of the people in the same drive for ever more wealth and power. Like I said before, you just don’t count in their world, you are expendable, there is plenty more where you came from.
