What is going to fix America's economy gentlemen is the dollar and 200 other currencies are about to be reset. and I am talking perhaps within a year in a half time frame. And not to be tooting my own horn here, but very few of us are giving attention to the fact that this new method of buying,selling and trading in various parts of the world is being done using this new form of currency called bitcoin. I have posted numerous ads, articles here on AP even by personal invitation to just get indi

Regarding Mike's Statement:
"I would concentrate on especially education."

The only way to reverse that slippery slope is again to transfer the POWER back to Local Entities. I have witnessed the utter waste and derivation of the "Education Structure" ever since it was signed into Law by President Jimmy Carter on October 17, 1979, and began operating on May 4, 1980.

This is somewhat simplistic....
We need elected individuals who OWN the theory of Financial Stability and have the backbone to effect those principles...
And we need a population who will accept responsibility of their own Financial condition.

Cerberus,

I don't know how long it will take for that to soak in...I guess we like hearing ourselves and waiting for the cheerleaders to come on our side. I like to do stuff...I'm not a theory type...Good luck to all you folks and these words try to stretch it out to 20k (words) so I can pay some $5 to rewrite it for a bo

"In its physical dimensions the economy is an open subsystem of the earth ecosystem, which is finite, nongrowing, and materially closed. As the economic subsystem grows it incorporates an ever greater proportion of the total ecosystem into itself and must reach a limit at 100 percent, if not before. Therefore its growth is not sustainable. The term "sustainable growth" when applied to the economy is a bad oxymoron—self-contradictory as prose, and unevocative as poetry." (Herman E. Daly and Ken

"Ironically America IS the globes economy."

No. America's economy is America's economy.

"You CANNOT fix each economy locally."

There is no other way. Each economy is its own and most of them have their own currency totally unique to them. They do not rely on America's economy for their survival. That many of them also accept American currency is neither here nor there. They could all stop accepting it and they would be fine. The dollar would be converted into the local currency at the l

The world has enough for everybody's need, not for everybody's greed. Drop the greed and all else will follow.

David, my economy so far is fine. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if I choose to live moderately I could nothing for the rest of my life. I don't have a care about what they do in DC things will level out when people get tired.

Ironically America IS the globes economy. You CANNOT fix each economy locally. ALL the worlds economy's are collapsing for one very simple reason. ALL of the worlds economy has relied on the greed of Americans. Even the current rise in the Chinese economy, or the internet economy - it is all based on supplying americans.

If you took America out of the equation EVERY economy would collapse because Americans buy more than 70% of goods and services sold in the world.

David, I don't think you do

"Just watch the retaliation from the rest of the world."

This is not a world; it is a country and it is in trouble. It is not going to get fixed by the rest of the world nor by their opinions. One of the biggest problems that we face today is this globalist mentality that people have. People need to stop wasting time on 'global this' and 'global that' and start protecting what they have at home.

Keep the army in own country. I assume that war expenses are much higher than the income from the conquered countries resources.

Christine, I think the direction you are going in is on point...what sets America apart is simple we have "IN GOD WE TRUST" on our money.

The thing is about our officials is the perversion is so bad that it will make Vegas look like it was on training wheels. They doing young men then women and that's just the clean parts...only a few can take a solid random drug test. There was a Congressman just recently that got caught doing drugs or a Senator.

Wonderful comments here...Now here might be a little different perspective. Perhaps we need to think broader and ask. "what are some solutions for the World Economy".That answer might be for the most part (the solution is America). America was based and establish on our beliefs in God by our own choosing. Our forefathers wanted it that way.That was an investment in an "excellent way". Now we have to reinvest in an excellent way. We are like the "protocol son", we did not use our treasures wisely

Well William, you are going to a lot of kicks to the gut for that one but I think that is a winner! There are more things that I would concentrate on especially education...anytime I actually believe that I have as much sense or more than our leaders then we are in some serious trouble! If everyone is educated better including me all but a few of these guys on all sides would be in office. Thanks!

Well Mister Mike, my take is simple,

The U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall have Power. . .

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, yet America has given up this right.

America’s commitment to the World Trade Organization gives them the power to challenge and change U.S. trade policies.

This foreign body has little interest in helping the jobless in America. Congress alone should have this power, the United States must withdraw from the WTO effective immediately. Only then

Bruce, sorry took so long but had to think this one through....I concluded we are 98% in agreement as it stands but the 2% we will never see eye to eye on so why bother. But before I go one thing has always puzzled me and maybe you can help:

"I wish the same for myself-but alas neither of us will ever have even the faith of the mustard seed."

I one can make a mountain move and everyone is suppose to try to get stronger in faith why not believe it can be done if it says so?

There is absolutely no doubt about one thing:
