In this Feb. 27, 2012, photo, job seekers line up to speak to Trilogy’s Regional Vice President Tom Elkins, far right, at a job fair in Boston. Economists expect that U.S. employers added 210,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate remained at 8.3 percent for the third straight month, according to a survey by FactSet. The Labor Department will release the March employment report at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Friday, April 6, 2012. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

    There are those who are wishing the American economy will collapse. Yet, they are totally and completely unaware of the consequences. It has been predicted, and there seems to be some truth to it–One World Order! Never before have all of the world economies been on the verge of collapsing–perhaps, one, but not all. Out of the ashes, One World Rule would emerge. Most peculiar is that it seems we are headed in that direction.

      I don’t know who these folks might be that you say are wishing for the American economy to collapse. The premise of your comment is totally incorrect. Have you forgotten that the Great Depression of the 1930′s was a worldwide event? International trade fell by over 30% and the economies of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America were all harmed.

      Yes indeed one possible result of an other worldwide depression could be an advance of military dictatorships. Just like the 30′s fascism and militarism are possible..but One World Order is beyond comprehension. In the old Soviet Union, communism became more powerful during that period as well.

      I can’t see how One World Order could emerge from futher chaos. With the various competing economic systems and religious restrictions the coming together of mankind in any one particular systems is very remote. If fact I believe it to be impossible.

        There are times and circumstances in when even gold is worthless, like when your ship is sinking. We’ll know in November. Anyone who does not fear Mitt Romney is a fool. It is that simple.

            me TOO. Luckily, MR will not be about to take his money with him as G-D will not accept it. I say G-d for all our Jewish voters.

        The only way the world can get to the state of “One World Order” is if one cohesive group controls a dominant share of the world’s resources. In banking, we are quickly reaching that point, but it’s all an illusion, because money is not really a resource or wealth by itself, it’s only a representation of wealth, an imperfect means of measuring it.

        Suppose one person accumulated all the currency in the world? It can be devalued, or another currency can be created at the stroke of a pen, and the currency is instantly worth less than blank paper. The real resources, which are food, energy, minerals, wood, water, etc… are all far more widely distributed.

        If we go in that direction the internet will no longer be in operation and you will only see an ABOUT FACE BOOK.

      We might even go the way of Greece or other Euro countries

    Mitt Romney’s history has been about creating jobs like Bernie Madoff’s has been about creating wealth.

    Fear is a tool of distraction. Usually the supposed horror is the US failing to pay its debts. Frankly I would not like to see that happen but nations not paying debts is a normal and usual part of history. Are we supposed to be so sleepy that we can not think? Following the Civil War the south did not pay off its debts. Following the Russian revolution the USSR did not pay the debts of the Tzar’s Russia. Following the Weimar Republic in Germany old Adolph did not snap to and hop to pay Germany’s debts.
    In other words a failure of a nation to pay debts may create some issues but it is hardly the end of the world.
    The US has issues that will lock us out of competition with nations like China. They simply have too many skilled people producing products. We also have failed to face the fact that technology is making human labor obsolete. Another hang over from the bad old days is that America has never had success unless we used slaves or somehow forced millions to work in poverty. It is still true. People work long hours for one dollar a day making fancy shoes for Americans. These workers are worse off than slaves were in the south. At least slaves got some food, some shelter and some medical care. But apparently America is happy enough grinding workers into the dirt. We are now busy pushing tobacco all around the world as it is sold less and less in the US. Tobacco kills people. Our greed is astounding.

    We might need to have Dave Kovic [Dave in the movie as the pretend president] who toward the end promised everyone a job. That is more than I can say for BO as well as MR who chose to take jobs away as well as send them overseas while with BAIN which sould have been call MRAIN, as the flood has come to his company that fired so many people. He is not a team player.

    I don’t see MR as a team player not want to tell about his Taxes. My taxes you can see at any time.
