How much is the U.S. gonna take from Chavez?,He got you by the ba*ls...How Does one invest in the mercentile exchange? seems limited to You must have some serious dough to drive up the prices of the things folks need most for the world to spin? Wheat anyone? Why did the economy spin into turmoil? Overpriced fuel and food. Lack of manufacturing. Health insurance is 78% higher since 911,Blue cross is expensive! oil has doubled. You want folks to buy everything as the costs of keeping a roof over your head is already out of hand. Jobs are tough to find. The Fed lowers rates to save the stock market?.

It is the way it has always been. Instead of direct ownership, we now have economic slavery. There is a way to punch and scrape your way up however. Live like a monk, save , invest, vote, and then enslave others. Thank heaven for the stock market! :cheers:

I can not agree with this sentiment. The US reaps what it sows. Wanna unilateraly declare war on Iraq? fine then pay the bill unilateraly. Wanna have total dominance for youre company's all over South America? Don't be surprized that leftist goverments pop up that put a halt to the exploitation of their people by the likes of company's such as the united fruit company.

Don't get me wrong. The USA aint a bad country. Democratic, advanced, rich, civilized, stable, etc. Ill take Bush over Putin or Hu jintao any day. but it aint withought errors. What i hate though is that there are quite a number of Americans who looks at their country as infallible and feel the need to find an extreme counter element for every error they made to justify and claim that they are morally superior still. For all the errors the USa made concerning Venezuela or Cuba do we still need to look at their leaders to justify these errors or give a justified reason to forget those errors? And don't get me started on other area's in this regard.

American cars are by preference large in size, big in engine and thirsty in fuel consumption. If anything the whole economic growing world should be mad at America for having so inconsideradly wasted precious resources while the rest of the world was busy investing in technoligy to reduce the need for these resources. It's mainly the USA with all it's wealth turned into uncontrolled consumption that has driven many resource prices that high.remeber that the USA is still by far the largest consuming nation.

Instead of feeling the need to be interventionist whereever some oil producer slaps a heavy fee around youre neck, it might be better to proppel alternative energy by a factor x10. Energy independance is what the USA needs, and the USA has waited until it's quite near 'to late' hence this result.

You make some good points, piggybank. It's good to hear a point of view outside of the US election vortex.
