I agree wholeheartedly with you. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con usted. Living in Australia, the value of the US dollar has decreased dramatically, and that of course means that any money I earn in US dollars (which is most of it) isn’t worth as much to me now as when I started looking for ways to earn money on the web. Vivir en Australia, el valor del dólar de los EE.UU. ha disminuido drásticamente, y que por supuesto significa que cualquier dinero que ganan en dólares de EE.UU. (que es la mayor parte de él) no vale la pena tanto a mí ahora que cuando empecé a buscar la manera para ganar dinero en la web. The American government needs to take a long, hard look at itself and get its act into gear before it is too late. El gobierno americano debe tener un largo y duro ver a sí mismo y obtener su acto en artes de pesca antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Regards Recuerdos

I agree, im not earning as much now either. Estoy de acuerdo, im que no ganan tanto ahora tampoco.

I`m voting for this guy.He`s seems like the only one who is willing to realize that government has dug us into a deep hole.The dollar is worth less and less everyday. I `m votar a favor de este guy.He` s parece que el único que está dispuesto a darse cuenta de que el gobierno nos ha excavado en una profunda hole.The dólar vale cada vez menos todos los días.

My opinions about the policies of this government would be socially unacceptable. Mis opiniones sobre las políticas de este gobierno sería socialmente inaceptable. Totally Corrupt is an understatement. Totalmente corruptas es un eufemismo. We are going the way of the Romans and people had better prepare to hang on! Estamos siguiendo el camino de los romanos y el pueblo había preparar mejor a colgar!

Sir, Señor Presidente,
Mark i am an american.i know all in that to be true. Mark Soy un american.i saber a todos que para ser verdad.
It is one of many ill in these united states that makes ashamed to be american. Es uno de los muchos malos en estos estados unidos que hace avergüenzo de ser americano.
What was touched on in that video is only the tip of the iceburg i believe.I know without a doubt after seeing this report that our government if left to go as it is will become a socialist type government. ¿Qué se trata en ese vídeo es sólo la punta del iceburg i believe.I saber sin lugar a dudas después de ver este informe que nuestro gobierno si se dejan ir, ya que es se convertirá en un tipo de gobierno socialista.
I am a patrotic and proud america.But i am proud of heriatage.Our fore fathers are spinning in their graves. Yo soy un orgulloso patrotic y america.But Me siento orgulloso de heriatage.Our primer plano los padres estén en uso en sus tumbas.

Hi Mark, Hola Marcos,

Sorry but I couldn’t bear to watch the entire video. Lo sentimos pero no podía soportar ver el vídeo entero. Once they started talking about the “war”, I knew the movie was just propaganda. Una vez que comenzó a hablar de la "guerra", yo sabía la película fue sólo propaganda. The fact is we have been here before. El hecho es que hemos estado aquí antes. There was a time when the dollar was £1 : $2.50…so we still have some way to go. Hubo un momento en que el dólar fue de £ 1: $ 2,50… así que todavía tenemos mucho camino por recorrer. From what I understand it suits the US Government to have a weaker dollar. De lo que tengo entendido se adapta el Gobierno de los EE.UU. para tener un dólar más débil. I know you are Irish, but I am English and we have one of the strongest currencies in the world…or so it would seem. Yo sé que ustedes son el irlandés, pero estoy Inglés y tenemos una de las monedas más fuertes en el mundo… o por lo que parece. We too are living on a huge debt mountain created by unrestricted spending and our “beloved” government have much to do with this, squandering billions in the public sector….and worse still we have no underbelly either. Nosotros también estamos viviendo en una enorme montaña de deuda creada por el gasto sin restricciones y nuestro "querido" gobierno tienen mucho que ver con esto, desperdiciando miles de millones en el sector público…. Y peor aún no tenemos, ya sea bajo vientre. Mr Bean sold ALL our billions of gold reserves years ago, at their lowest ever price to help fund his spending bonanza! Mr Bean vendido todos nuestros miles de millones de las reservas de oro años atrás, a sus cada vez más bajo precio para ayudar a financiar su gasto de bonanza! So we are in equally bad shape. Por lo tanto, estamos igualmente en mal estado. The problem with the us dollar is a combination of problems…overspending, over borrowing, the loans/mortgage crisis in the US, the rising price of oil, world unease about certain countries in the Middle East. El problema con el dólar es una combinación de problemas… gasto excesivo, a lo largo de los préstamos, los préstamos o la hipoteca de crisis en los EE.UU., el aumento del precio del petróleo, el mundo inquietud acerca de ciertos países en el Medio Oriente. They all conspire to weaken the dollar. Todos ellos conspiran para debilitar el dólar. And when the dollar weakens, people go to gold or other currencies. Y cuando el dólar se debilita, la gente va a oro u otras divisas. Best is to make the most of it - put all your spare cash in gold and take more holidays in the USA! Mejor es hacer la mayor parte de él - poner todos sus recambios en efectivo en oro y tener más días festivos en los EE.UU.! I don’t see the USA collapsing just yet..but it is a storm we will have to ride out. No veo el colapso de EE.UU. todavía .. pero es una tormenta que tendrá que viajar a cabo. Like you I am in the same boat. Al igual que usted estoy en el mismo barco. Most of my earnings are in dollars too, which isn’t funny when you consider the strength of sterling against the dollar. La mayor parte de mis ingresos son en dólares también, que no es divertido si se tiene en cuenta la fortaleza de la libra esterlina frente al dólar. All the best! Todos los mejores!
Peter

Hi Mark, Hola Marcos,
Politics and politicians take care of themselves. La política y los políticos cuidar de sí mismos. If you have to take everything you hear in the news to heart you will end up being a gibbering wreck. Si tiene que tomar todo lo que escuchamos en las noticias del corazón a usted acabará siendo un naufragio gibbering. I live in South Africa where more people get killed by crime each day than any where else in the world. Yo vivo en Sudáfrica, donde obtener un mayor número de personas asesinadas por la delincuencia que cada día que cualquier otra parte del mundo. There are worse things to worry about that monetary policy. Hay cosas peores que preocuparse por que la política monetaria. God Takes care of things the way he sees fit. Dios cuida de las cosas la forma en que estime conveniente.

Live Your life Tu vida en directo

Blessings Bendiciones

Mark I want to congratulate you for your willingness to stand up for this. Mark quiero felicitarlo por su disposición a pie para ello. I think we’re at the point now that if Ron Paul doesn’t get elected, we’re at the end of the American dream. Creo que estamos en el punto de que ahora si Ron Paul no se eligió, estamos al final del sueño americano.

Mark When you mentioned there was only one politician talking about it I already knew who was going to be in the video. Mark Cuando usted ha mencionado que sólo hay un político hablando de que yo ya sabía que iba a ser en el vídeo. I receive several emails from other internet marketers to keep me to date on whats new and you just went to the top of the list. He recibido varios correos electrónicos de otros comerciantes de Internet para mantenerme al día sobre qué es nuevo y sólo se dirigió a la parte superior de la lista. Hopefully the video will make a difference for some voters and the amazing thing about it is that the email came from another country. Esperemos que el video hará una diferencia para algunos electores y la increíble cosa acerca de ello es que el correo electrónico procediera de otro país. Thanks Gracias

Hello Mark, Hello Mark,

I understand the frustation you feel considering you deal mostly in dollars. Yo entiendo la frustation teniendo en cuenta que usted se sienta a lidiar en su mayor parte en dólares.

If we as Americans do not wake up, soon we will be slaves of the world. Si nosotros, como americanos no despertarse, pronto vamos a esclavos del mundo. But if the world looses the American markets; then, the world will turn to Europe and Asia markets to deal in business. Pero si el mundo pierde los mercados americanos y, a continuación, el mundo se volverá a Europa y Asia los mercados para hacer frente a las empresas. The Internet will assist in that, but it will open the way to other more dangerous practices that will affect the whole monetary systems of the world. La Internet ayudará en eso, sino que le abrirá el camino a otras prácticas más peligrosas que afectan a todo los sistemas monetarios del mundo.

May The God of Mankind, The Alpha and the Omega, The I AM, The God Father of our Lord Jesus be with you always. El Dios de la humanidad, el Alfa y la Omega, El I AM, El Dios Padre de nuestro Señor Jesús esté siempre con vosotros.

Hey Guys, Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the comments so far. Gracias por todos los comentarios hasta el momento. It’s good to hear peoples views on this as it’s barely talked about over here. Es bueno escuchar opiniones sobre los pueblos como este es apenas hablaba más de aquí.

Sandra, video seems to be working fine for me. Sandra, vídeo parece estar funcionando bien para mí. Anyone else having problems viewing it? Cualquier otra persona que tenga problemas para ver?

Mark

Hi Mark, Hola Marcos,

Hooray for you and I don’t care where you’re from. Enhorabuena para ti y no me importa donde estés. Like it or not, America is a super power and what affects us will touch your world too! Nos guste o no, Estados Unidos es un súper poder y lo que nos afecta a tocar tu mundo!

Our monetary policy has got to change and fast, starting with our foreign spending. Nuestra política monetaria tiene que cambiar y rápido, empezando por nuestro gasto exterior.

Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that seems to understand the root problem and, indeed, seems to care about the freedoms that this country was founded upon. Ron Paul es el único candidato presidencial que parece entender el problema de raíz y, de hecho, parece que se preocupan por las libertades que este país se basa en.

We all need to not only vote for him but also to support his campaign in any way possible. Todos tenemos que votar no sólo para él sino también para apoyar su campaña en cualquier forma posible.

Your devoting space to this issue on your marketing blog is a great service not only to your American followers but to anyone who would like to see a stable global market economy. Su espacio dedicado a este tema en su blog de marketing es un gran servicio no sólo a sus seguidores de América, sino a cualquier persona que quisiera ver una estable economía de mercado mundial. Thank you. Gracias.

I find it interesting that people who are not American find this whole subject more interesting than Americans. Me parece interesante que la gente que no se encuentran en América todo este tema más interesante que los estadounidenses.

I think Americans should demand truth in their broadcasting so they can actually see what is really going on in the world instead of what the American Government/broadcasting wants them to believe. Creo que los estadounidenses deberían exigir la verdad en su tiempo de difusión a fin de que puedan ver lo que realmente pasa en el mundo en lugar de lo que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos / radiodifusión que quiere creer.

The American Foriegn policy has always served Americans, but it has caught up with them as there is no basis to keep their dollar value sustainable. La política exterior estadounidense siempre ha servido los estadounidenses, sino que ha atrapado con ellos, ya que no hay base para mantener su valor en dólares sostenible.

Americans have driven manufacturing to foriegn countries for years. Americanos han impulsado la fabricación a países extranjeros durante años. You cannot sustain a country of this size on Services alone. No se puede sostener un país de este tamaño por sí solo sobre los servicios. American people do not want to do “Service” jobs. Pueblo americano no quiere hacer "servicio" puestos de trabajo. oh, and by the way, neither do Canadians. oh, y por cierto, tampoco los canadienses. We are not a nation built on services. No somos una nación construida sobre los servicios. Free trade has not served anyone well. El libre comercio no ha servido bien a nadie. Sending our manufacturing to China and Mexico has only returned us garbage goods with over inflated prices. Envío de nuestra fabricación a China y Mexico ha devuelto sólo nos basura bienes con más de precios inflados. The greedy get richer. Los codiciosos se hacen más ricos. Well, guess what. Bueno, ¿adivinen qué. I am not buying anything from China anymore. Yo no estoy comprando nada de China ya. I’d rather go without! Prefiero ir sin él!

Wake up North America! Despierta América del Norte!

Mark I believe that Joanie is correct…Corporate America has their heads in the sand. Mark Creo que Joanie es correcta… corporativo de los Estados Unidos tiene su cabeza en la arena. Right at this point, in history I think it is awful to be poor in this country. El derecho en este punto, a la historia creo que es horrible para ser pobre en este país. But if America keeps spending the way they are the people that are middle class will have the bottom drop out of their lives. Pero si Estados Unidos mantiene el gasto la forma en que son las personas que son de clase media tendrán la parte inferior de abandonar sus vidas. My big question is how will a country of mostly middle class people cope with suddenly being dirt poor? Mi gran pregunta es ¿cómo un país de clase media la mayoría de la gente a hacer frente con la suciedad que de repente pobres? The psychological damage will be horrendous let alone the physical and financial damage. El daño psicológico se horrendos y mucho menos la física y perjuicios financieros.

Unlike Peter I don’t feel that the film was propaganda and I think that Congressman Paul was saying a lot of things that are way over due. A diferencia de Peter I no se siente que la película es propaganda y creo que el congresista Pablo estaba diciendo un montón de cosas que son más de forma debida.

I just pray that the American government gets their heads out of the sand and gets out of war. Acabo de orar para que el gobierno norteamericano le da la cabeza fuera de la arena y sale de la guerra. If they do, not only would they be saving a lot of good men’s lives, they would be on the road to saving the economy. Si lo hacen, no sólo serían el ahorro de un montón de buena la vida de los hombres, serían en la carretera para salvar la economía.

Dear Mark, Estimado Mark,

You are absolutely right, and so is Senator Ron Paul. Tiene usted toda la razón, como también lo es el senador Ron Paul.
My husband and I have been homeless on and off for the last 12 years, all due to the decreasing value of the American dollar. Mi esposo y yo hemos estado sin hogar y fuera de los últimos 12 años, todos debido a la disminución del valor del dólar americano.
Even now, my husband makes $9.00 a hour. Incluso ahora, mi esposo gana $ 9,00 una hora. We just barely hang on and are never ever more than one missed paycheck from being homeless again. Estamos apenas a colgar y son nunca más de un cheque de pago perdido de ser hogar de nuevo.
JUST $9.00 an hour! JUST $ 9,00 por hora!
When I was a kid, over forty years ago, that was a veritable fortune! Cuando yo era un niño, más de cuarenta años, que fue una verdadera fortuna! Now it is just above poverty level. Ahora se sitúa justo por encima del nivel de pobreza.
We don’t make it UP to be ranked in the middle class. Nosotros no lo constituyen a su clasificación en la clase media.
Americans, wake up. Americanos, despertarse. We are losing our rights and our liberties at the hands of our own unscrupulous leaders. Estamos perdiendo nuestros derechos y nuestras libertades en manos de nuestros propios dirigentes sin escrúpulos.

Hi guys sorry I cant agree with the usd$ falling.I live in South Africa things here are tough economicaly as it is is.Each time the dollar falls our currency value rises.Thus making any international venture cheaper for us supposedly.It allows us a bit extra in travelling and imports cheaper etc.Sad fact though very little of this actualy benifits us as our dear govt are not reflecting this to the consumer.The economicaly active people are getting ripped solidly and as usual the latest is that due to the US$ rising considerably over the past five to six years we have felt the effect in a big way.Our government is ripping us of in many other ways making South Africa a very poor investment proposal.They have a misperception as many of you guys have that everything in the world is controlled by Bush et all.IOW each time there is a bit of crisis local fuel prices rise at ridiculous amounts.Food expenses are out of control.The time has come for independant economies to take a stand and say we no longer will be dominated by the US$ either deal in our currency or go home that way we can all add value to our own currency and input and put Bush and his cronies in place and make them understand that we refuse to shake each time wall street sneezes.In the eighties it used to be one one rand for one dollar and one rand for two GBP.Now it costs us South Africans ten times as much for a Dollar and up to 14 Rand for a single pound go figure.South Africa wake up these guys are using us big time for their own gain.In fact they dont care about me or you or the starving in Africa.It is all a very extravagant marketing campaign.I used to think people like David Ike are off the wall……..starting to change that perception. Hola chicos me siento peralte de acuerdo con los USD $ falling.I viven en el sur de África las cosas son duras aquí economicaly como es is.Each tiempo el dólar cae valor de nuestra moneda rises.Thus hacer cualquier empresa internacional más barato para nosotros nos permite supposedly.It un poco extra para viajar y las importaciones más baratas etc.Sad hecho, aunque muy poco de esta realidad nos beneficios como nuestro querido gob no se refleja a la consumer.The economicaly personas activas se te timen sólidamente como de costumbre y la más reciente es que, debido a la De dólares de los EE.UU. el aumento considerable en los últimos cinco a seis años hemos sentido el efecto en una gran way.Our gobierno se rasga en nosotros de muchas otras maneras de toma Sudáfrica una muy mala inversión proposal.They tienen una percepción errónea, ya que muchos de ustedes han que en todo el mundo está controlado por Bush et all.IOW cada vez que hay un poco de crisis de los precios de los combustibles locales lugar a los gastos ridícula amounts.Food están fuera de control.The tiempo ha llegado para el control independiente de las economías a adoptar una postura y decir que ya no será dominado por los EE.UU. de dólares, ya sea frente a nuestra moneda o ir a casa de esa manera todos podemos aportar un valor añadido a nuestra propia moneda y poner de entrada y Bush y sus camaradas en el lugar y hacerles entender que nos negamos a temblar cada vez que la pared calle sneezes.In los años ochenta lo que solía ser un un rand por un dólar y un rand por dos GBP.Now que nos cuesta sudafricanos diez veces más de un dólar y hasta el 14 de Rand para una sola libra ir figure.South África despertar estos chicos nos están utilizando gran momento para sus propios gain.In dont hecho de que se preocupan por mí o usted o el hambre en todos los Africa.It es muy extravagante comercialización campaign.I solía pensar gente como David Ike se desconecte de la pared …… .. Empezando a cambiar esa percepción.

Hey guys, I know we have a lot of problems, “but”, we, meaning those of us still living in the USA are in the most prised place in the world. Hey chicos, sé que tenemos un montón de problemas ", pero", que, en el sentido de aquellos de nosotros que aún viven en los EE.UU. se encuentran en la mayoría de personas: el lugar en el mundo. We can’t run and hide from the rest of the world just because everyone does not agree with us. No podemos correr y esconderse del resto del mundo sólo porque todo el mundo no está de acuerdo con nosotros. Our monitary problems did not get here over night. Monitary Nuestros problemas no llegar durante la noche. A major portion of our citizens are liberal idiots who are only thinking of themselves. Una gran parte de nuestros ciudadanos son idiotas liberales que son sólo pensando en sí mismos. Lets back off and take a steady course, do what is right for our country, based on sound moral principles and good old common sense, instead of going nuts just because of an election year and abandoning our troups and what they have fought for. Vamos marcha atrás y tomar un curso firme, hacer lo correcto para nuestro país, basado en sólidos principios morales y el buen viejo sentido común, en vez de ir sólo porque las tuercas de un año de elecciones y el abandono de nuestras tropas y lo que han luchado. Quitting is not an option and trying to tie our money problems on the coattails of our troups is just not right. Dejar de fumar no es una opción y tratando de vincular nuestro dinero a los problemas coattails de nuestro teatro no es sólo derecha. We didn’t get here overnight, lets not try to fix this problem by cutting our throats and alienating ourselves from the rest of the world. No hemos de llegar la noche a la mañana, permite no tratar de solucionar este problema mediante la reducción de nuestras gargantas y marginar a nosotros mismos del resto del mundo. We will always be a country that leads the world as long as we stand up for sound principles and moral stability. Nosotros siempre será un país que lleva el mundo, siempre y cuando nos encontramos para principios racionales y morales estabilidad. In other words the rest of the world always looks to us to do what is right. En otras palabras, el resto del mundo siempre busca a nosotros a hacer lo correcto. Hopefully we can as a nation come together and do that. Esperemos que podemos como nación unirse y hacer eso.

Hello, Hola,

I like the discussion here. Me gusta el debate aquí.
So what is the solution ? Entonces, ¿cuál es la solución?
At the individual level, we need to educate ourselves and play ‘their game’ to our advantage. A nivel individual, tenemos que educarnos y jugar "su juego" a nuestro favor. We cannot afford to remain ‘ignorant’ any longer. No podemos darnos el lujo de seguir siendo "ignorantes" por más tiempo.

Yup Mark, good on ya dood for cranking this out…. Yup Marcos, ya en buena dood para cranking esto….
There is someting weird going on over there in the whitehouse …. Hay algo parecido extraño pasa allí en la Whitehouse…. i have read it all over the net from all walks of life, people are really worried about what has happened to their country. he leído por toda la red de todos los modos de vida, las personas están realmente preocupados por lo que ha sucedido a su país.
What did happen? ¿Qué sucederá? … who let it happen? … Que dejar que suceda? ….who sold the US ? …. Vendidos que los EE.UU.?

Thank you so much for caring enough to share your opinions on this. Muchas gracias por la atención lo suficiente como para compartir sus opiniones sobre este tema. I myself am an internet marketer and I am also a County Campaign Coordinator for Ron Paul. Yo mismo soy un vendedor en Internet y también soy Coordinador de Campaña del Condado de Ron Paul. It amazes me how Americans have been so asleep to the important issues for so long. No me asombra cómo los americanos han sido tan dormido a las cuestiones importantes durante tanto tiempo. Ten years ago when I spoke of these things I was called a conspiracy theorist and told that that stuff could never happen here. Diez años atrás, cuando he hablado de estas cosas me llamaron una conspiración teórico y dijo que eso nunca podría ocurrir aquí. Now after these things have transpired they say well yeah that was bound to happen that’s just how things are. Ahora después de estas cosas han trascendido ellos dicen que sí bien estaba obligado a pasar eso es sólo cómo son las cosas. They are so programmed that they can’t even admit that they denied these very things just a few years prior. Son tan programado que ni siquiera pueden admitir que niega todas estas cosas tan sólo unos pocos años antes. We are in a sad state of affairs and until we get out of this American elitist mentality we will continue down this spiral. Nos encontramos en un triste estado de cosas y hasta que salir de esta mentalidad elitista de América vamos a seguir por esta espiral. Please vote Ron Paul. Por favor vote Ron Paul. I have followed his career for years and he has always amazed me with his integrity and his love for the freedoms so many people across the globe have fought and dies for. He seguido su carrera durante años y él siempre ha sorprendido mí con su integridad y su amor por la libertad a tantas personas en todo el mundo han luchado y muere. remember also that tomorrow is another big fund raising day for his campaign. Recuerdo también que mañana es otro gran día de recaudación de fondos para su campaña. In commemoration of the Boston Tea Party that lit the sparks of a Revolution. En conmemoración de la Boston Tea Parte que encendió la chispa de una revolución. It is way past time for a new revolution. Es tiempo pasado modo de una nueva revolución. The Declaration of Independence says that it is not only our right but it is our duty to get rid of an oppressive government and replace it with a government for the people. La Declaración de Independencia dice que no es sólo nuestro derecho sino que es nuestro deber para deshacerse de un gobierno opresor y sustituirla por un gobierno para el pueblo. Vote Ron Paul 2008. Votar Ron Paul de 2008.

I am a citizen of the US and I agree with much of what Mr. Paul has to say including the fact that our congress is spending at an unprecedented rate and a most irresponsible manner. Soy un ciudadano de los EE.UU. y estoy de acuerdo con mucho de lo que Paul tiene que decir como el hecho de que nuestro congreso está gastando a un ritmo sin precedentes y de una manera más irresponsable. However I cannot agree with his isolationist policies in terms of the war in Iraq. Sin embargo no puedo estar de acuerdo con sus políticas aislacionistas en términos de la guerra en Iraq. What those of you who live in other countries fail to understand is that every time there is a presidential campaign in this country the press starts spinning the news with stories of how terrible the economy is going. Lo que aquellos de ustedes que viven en otros países no entienden es que cada vez que hay una campaña presidencial en este país la prensa empieza a girar la noticia con historias terribles de cómo la economía va. When Clinton ran we were told we were all two paychecks from being homeless and there were millions living in the street, however after the election it turns out we were enjoying the biggest growth in thirty years. Cuando Clinton corrió se nos dijo que estábamos todos los cheques de pago de dos personas sin hogar y que se había millones de personas que viven en la calle, sin embargo después de las elecciones resulta que estábamos disfrutando el mayor crecimiento en treinta años. Clinton had not even been sworn in yet. Clinton ni siquiera había sido juramentado aún.
This has been going on for thirty years now. Esto ha estado sucediendo durante treinta años. Unfortunately our press is no longer interested in looking for the truth, and those who try to tell it find they no longer have access. Lamentablemente nuestra prensa ya no está interesado en la búsqueda de la verdad, y aquellos que tratan de decir que descubren que ya no tienen acceso.

You know, I don’t know how all of our troubles got blamed on the war. Usted sabe, yo no sé cómo todos nuestros problemas llegó culparse a la guerra. This trouble started back in 1999. Este problema se inició en 1999. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people are making less than half of what they used to. Desde entonces, cientos de miles de personas están haciendo menos de la mitad de lo que solían hacerlo. Oh sure, unemployment has gone down, but that’s only because people settled into low paying jobs. Oh seguro, el desempleo ha descendido, pero eso es sólo porque las personas asentadas en baja empleos bien remunerados.

Ruth, the middle class had the bottom fall out years ago. Ruth, la clase media tuvo la caída inferior a cabo años atrás.

And all this talk about interest rates. Y todo esto hablar de los tipos de interés. We haven’t been able to make any decent interest on our money since 1999. No hemos sido capaces de hacer cualquier decente interés por nuestro dinero desde 1999. Lower interest rates certainly allow people to spend more, but there’s no incentive to save. Tipos de interés más bajos duda permitirá a las personas a gastar más, pero no hay un incentivo para ahorrar.

And what caused the problem? Y lo que causó el problema? Wall Street. Wall Street. They cut the cr*p out of customer service, R&D, maintenence, and whatever else they can - leaving companies bleeding - all so the share holders can make money. Se cortó la cr * p fuera de servicio al cliente, I + D, mantenimiento y cualquier otra cosa que puede - dejando a las empresas sangrado - para que todos los accionistas pueden hacer dinero. But you can’t survive that way for very long. Pero no se puede sobrevivir de esa manera por mucho tiempo. People are doing the jobs of 2 or 3 people, and there’s not enough bandaids to fix everything that’s been neglected. La gente está haciendo los puestos de trabajo de 2 o 3 personas, y no hay suficiente bandaids para fijar todo lo que ha sido descuidado. I’m amazed that our phone system still works. Me sorprende que nuestro sistema telefónico todavía funciona. Utilites were in serious danger. Aplicaciones de se encontraban en grave peligro. If the rates had not been raised, all of our systems would have fallen apart. Si las tasas no se había planteado, todos nuestros sistemas se han caído de separación.

Wall Street demands more and more cuts in overhead, which means cuts in manpower and quality. Wall Street exige más y más recortes en los gastos generales, lo que significa recortes en mano de obra y calidad. And the rich are getting richer. Y los ricos son cada vez más ricos.

The war is a convenient scapegoat. La guerra es un conveniente chivo expiatorio. Don’t get me wrong - I think Bush has done a horrible job at home. No me malinterpreten - Creo que Bush ha hecho un trabajo terrible en casa. But I can’t imagine the world wide consequences if we were to pull out of the war and go home. Pero no puedo imaginar las consecuencias en todo el mundo si tuviéramos que sacar de la guerra y regresar a casa. If those idiots can claim they won, what will they feel entitled to do around the world? Si los idiotas pueden reclamar ganó, lo que se sienten con derecho a hacerlo en todo el mundo? How many lives will they take? ¿Cuántas vidas se toman? How many more train stations will they blow up? ¿Cuántas estaciones de tren más van a volar? What would stop them? ¿Qué detenerlos?

Our problems at home will not get better until someone reins in Wall Street. Nuestros problemas en casa no mejoran hasta que alguien riendas en Wall Street.

The war? La guerra? I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s not pulling out and allowing the terror to be unleashed worldwide. No sé cuál es la respuesta, pero no es tirando a cabo y que permite el terror que se desató en todo el mundo. The original premise to train the people to run their own country seems to have failed. La premisa original para capacitar a las personas a ejecutar su propio país parece haber fracasado. Somehow, they have to be able to put a stop to the terrorist factions. De alguna manera, tienen que ser capaces de poner fin a las facciones terroristas. But how? Pero, ¿cómo? I don’t know, and that’s why I’m not running for president No lo sé, y es por eso que no soy candidato a presidente

Now add, health care costs, apathy, gas guzzling SUVs, and people unwilling to change bad habits. Ahora agrega, los costos de atención de salud, la apatía, el gas guzzling SUVs, y la gente no quiere cambiar los malos hábitos.

We are in deep, deep trouble. Estamos en profundo, profundo problemas.
I’ve recently written an article about it also. He escrito recientemente un artículo sobre el tema también. You can see it at my site if you’re interested. Puedes verlo en mi sitio si estás interesado.

The world is a different place than it used to be. El mundo es un lugar diferente de lo que solía ser. With an ever increasing population and with more cultural diversity the stage is set for even more intolerable situations to occur. Now if government was good and pure then the situation might have been different but I suspect that quite a long time ago the tide has turned where goverments no longer look to the common good of their citizens, but rather look after the interests of the global powerful multi-natoinal corporations that wields the most influence. Patriotism is a way for goverments to control the loyalty of their citizens and to instill fear in them of how how bad their lives would be if they were not around. I think of John Lennon’s song “Imagine” when I think of where the world is today and where this blue spinning planet is heading towards.

I definitely agree with Mark and Ron Paul. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Ron Paul is going to get the Republican nomination according to national polls. But the good news is that Giuliani and Huckabee have expressed interest in reducing government spending. Giuliani himself has a sound record of spending money wisely as New York City mayor.

Mike you’re an inspiration man!!
Thanks for the post.

Mark

I don’t live in the States, but I have heard a lot about the debt-load of that country. I purchased a book - Empire of Debt - I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I feel the situation is very serious. I hear that China is holding a lot of America’s debt - that’s not good.

The drop in the US$ has an impact on most countries as it is the currency of choice for export quotes. I live in New Zealand and our $ has been high against the greenback for some time. As a primary producer and exporting country that hurts.
Unfortunately you cannot put a definitive answer on what the outcome of a low US$ will mean. In the late eighties I subscribed to a newsletter written by a couple of experts in Lord Reese Mogg (Bank of England) and a chap Dale Davidson if my memory serves me correctly called Strategic Investments which dealt with the US economy and investment. That newsletter had the same dire warning and information that is being propounded above. Even then as was mentioned by one of the above respondents China owned hundreds of miilions in US Bonds to shore up the US economy so that Americans would keep buying Chinese goods. I stayed out of the market because of this doom and gloom espoused at that time which was a mistake as the US survived very well.
I will admit though that I believe the whole of the US economy is being manipulated by a scant few particularly when you consider the Central Bank is privately owned by a few very wealthy individuals who print and own every dollar that is produced and only lease it to the Government.
The USA is in debt by more money than can be imagined yet it appears to be an enigma that has the ability to survive no matter what. I don’t agree with many of the Governments’ policies as an outsider looking in. World inflation has been caused by the high oil prices as a consequence of the US offensive in Iraq and the less well off are suffering greatly. Whether the information that is coming out of the US about corruption in the higher echelons of Government (investing in arms manufacturers and other strategic opportunties) with prior knowledge (say before the offensive in Iraq) is true, I don’t know but I honestly hope that the USA survives for the good of us all.

Hi mark
I pretty much agree with you and Ron Paul except for the war and I will explain that part now.

If it were not for the socialists in our own goverment doing every thing they could to discredit the military and the president I believe the war would be finished or all but finished.

I don`t think I need to tell any one who these people are
because anyone who knows what the socialist agenda is should already know.

The socialist agenda is to take over america but in order to do that they must bring it down by dividing it and over the years thats what they have done.

The socialists can not take over a country that is healthly weathly and free so they have to make it poor so that socialism will sound good to the people that are going hungary,

equality, everyone poor, a bowel of rice for every one who will leak the boots of those in power.

I do not know if the war was handled right or not but I do know that we had a good reason to be over there, how
many americans has to be killed for there to be a reason to go to war? is 3000 enough or should they have completly destroyed an american city? and if there is any one who thinks sadam did not have anything to do with it I would like to sell them the London bridge.

keep up the good work and Ron Paul will probably get my vote. I also enjoyed reading the other comments.

Thank you for emailing this message (depressing as it is). I won’t get into a lot of issues in my life (I would hog up the whole blog). I am a US citizen. My husband and I just refinanced all of our bills into 1 (incl. house, car & credit cards) so the interest is more acceptable. Also, upon refinancing we got some cash back to do some much needed home repair. However, for me it’s the consistent increase of health insurance coverage that is really costing us. I have almost $200 taken out of my paycheck EVERY WEEK for a family plan. I’m pretty sure that most of the people that have responded here have financial trouble, so I guess, the real reason I am responding to this email message is to know if anybody is REALLY making any money on the internet. I have tried for years & have spent more money than I even had on then. There were even times I didn’t even tell my husband about it because I didn’t want to see those rolling eyes or it “sounds too to be true” response. My email address is: summerbreeze89@hotmail.com Please put mark flavin blog response in the subject line since I get so many money making emails a day. I want REAL opportunities. I want PROOF, even if you have to scan your bank account statement & email it to me. I’ve been scammed so many times, I just can’t take it anymore. I can tell you what I DON’T want to do though: no sales or teleconference calls, no bothering friends, real marketing resources (not just being left in the dust), no google or ebay stuff, no survey, secret shopping, or stocking my basement with products I won’t use, of course something that isn’t going to take hours a day (I have a full time job, family & house to take care of). Thanks for reading my rambling.

I appreciate your passion for Ron Paul…I normally despise most Presidential candidates as I can’t see much of a difference in either the Democrate or Republican party choices….So, I usually decide not to vote…But Ron Paul is telling the truth… I have studied much concerning the economic backing of the US Dollar and political pulls and vested interests of the Federal Reserve and International Banking Families…Wars are created by political financers…George Bush has sold us out…I feel Ron Paul stands for restoration and stability…What possibly could Hillary Clinton do for anyone, especially with her notorious husband as the “Real Presidential Candidate”…”The Whitewater Washover & Disguise”….What you get with Hillary & Bill is a “Hill-Billy”…Just piece the Right side of her face to the Left side of his…You’ll see…Not only would I vote for Ron Paul, I would consider being a state coordinater for his campaign…If you want to know more about Ron Paul, go to oconut Diet Forums

I agree with Jan.

Additionally, I say to those living outside of the States, who are you complain how weaker the US dollar has become? stop using our dollar and charge your customers Euros or better yet in your own currency. You enjoyed ours when you made money off of it and now complaining about how it’s causing you to earn less money. Hypocrite.
Furthermore, Who are YOU to commplain about the rich? Just what the heck do you think you’re doing having created a “for charge” business on the net? Aren’t YOU trying to make more each day? Don’t you use techniques to draw potential customers to your website? Don’t you offer “free” stuff? Don’t you look for way to enhance your website? Don’t you make it convenient for your customers? These are some parts of CAPITALISM. So explain to me how can you bitch when you’re willing participants and the US is the best at it?

Hyocritical to complain when someone who’s outside of this debate continues making millions, while you enjoy the benefits when the situations were more in your favorable. Most of you probably are financially better off now than you were before your business was launched and started learning how to generate more traffic. Leave the world economy or stop your bitchin. For those in the US, RON PAUL? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Ron Paul as president is opening a pandora’s box to the entrance of socialism. He’s also an isolationist, and a pacifist. Since wants to stop the spending, let him start by cutting funds to your country. That way, we can pay your country back for the money we might have borrowed, secondly, let him cut funding for all special interest and pork belly programs. That way we can protect our country from harm and create subsidies to our seniors, veterans and the less fortunate and allow capitalism do it job. Most of you haven’t studied the debates enough to even to be discussing them. You probably can’t answer correclty a US history question if asked on the spot than to be discussing economics and government affairs. Get a life people. Quit blaming others to feel better about yourself too.

What is the greatest scam in world history? The Fed a privately owned and tax-exempt bank that is dominated by foreign bankers, obtains Federal Reserve Notes from the US Treasury for roughly 3 cents each, whether it is a one dollar bill or a $50,000 bill. they then sell it back to us at face value, and charge interest for “loaning” it to us.thats why we have “Trillion’s plus National Debt” In 1963 President Kennedy, by means of an Executive Order, bypassed the FED and issued “real”United States Notes with no debt or interest attached, Go to a coin dealer , look at a 1963 Kennedy dollar, it says “United States Note “, not Federal Reserve Note. So strong is the foreign bankers stranglehold on America that our government cannot print its own tax-free, usury-free money for its own citizens, if it could there would be no unemployment, no inflation,no recessions or excessive taxes, etc, and no astronomicl National Debt, According to Article 1. Section 8 of the Constitution, only United States Notes are legal tender, Immediately after Kennedys death the printing US notes were stopped and taken out of circulation. primary reason for the Revoluyionary WAR was to sto the Bank OF England from doing to us, what the FED is doing to us now

Ron Paul has been saying this for decades, it’s why he got into politics. He’s got my vote and money to get there and I am rallying as many people as possible but if Ron doesn’t get in at least the embers have been flamed! It took me 50 years to wake up and hopefully everyone else will too.
Thank you for the article!
Ron Paul 2008!
