Maybe you'd better get tuned into what's going on in your country instead of worrying about the U.S. Funny, i dare say for the first time in my life, the Canadian government is more to the right than the USA. Less federal debt per capita, less provincial debt where I live (but not true for all provinces). The more right we go, the less damage a USA banking corruption thing seems to affect us. Less liberalism is a good thing. -- Take a look at ANY country, more debt is more problems. So why do we allow our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed, denial, ignorance? |
