Quote from Trader666:
We had a higher debt to GDP ratio after WWII and dug our way out of that. But it won't happen by allowing Obama's parabolic deficit spending to continue, nor will it happen by making the United States even more of a welfare state than it already is.
It's different now. We had a manufacturing based economy. Do you know what they call the heartland now? Flyover country. That's sick.
We are a service economy now, we export entertainment. Back then our value system and work ethic was totally different. Further, we had just defeated a formidable foe, as the German war machine is to be respected, we actually should have lost WWII. Were it not for Hitler being a nutbird, things might have been quite different. Who will we galvanize against to fight today, Al Quaida? Really?
