When G.W. Bush stole the 2000 election our economy was stable and growing. The U.S. Government was engaged in the War on Drugs without sustained international military occupations. The World Trade Towers still existed.
Eight years later,
our financial banking system has collapsed. Major U.S. based global corporations are failing to bankruptcy. Unemployment rises. Home values decline. Inflation looms over us all.
We wage major military wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and have created civil unrest in Pakistan. Israel began 2009 with an invasion into Palestine.
Europe is purchasing U.S. corporations that have been the foundation of our economy for many decades.
Our privacy rights have disappeared.
Our health care costs are higher than the rest of the world.
Our food is losing quality and gaining cost.
Our environment is being devastated by our industry and lifestyle.
What was successfully protected and defended?
