The drummer in Buffalo Springfield is wearing a tie. Bummer drummer.

So, Nixon gets a bad rap? Is it because he took as off the gold standard too late, and the monetization of public debt started to late to prevent stagflation during the 70’s.

And Reagan is a hero? Aren’t they cut from the same cloth?

What was Carter? Obama?

Carter is the only one which is not like the others. Why?

That’s an interesting question, Non. Nixon and Reagan are from California. Carter was aligned with the Rockefellers. He was a little too open about the economic straits America was in. That was very un PC and Uncle Ronnie brought us back to the world of the Matrix. But now we can’t deny America was on the skids back then just like Jimmy said.

America’s got her cherse of parties: one that treats her, ‘like the cheap slut that I am’ or the other that knows she’s always depended on the kindness of strangers.

I think you’re confusing the federal government with America. The feds have always been imperialists. The people that make up this country have tolerated their government up to a point.

The historians like to say the 60’s “came close to tearing apart the social fabric of the country”, as did the Revolutionary War, or even the Civil War, although the sides were clearly drawn during the CW.

Never before in the history of civilization has a country been as powerful as the US, militarily and economically. Which brings to bear some moral consideration, not the least of which is what do those who have profited the most from the expansion of American hegemony and now the money supply owe to their fellow man. We’re beginning to witness humanitarian crises of epic proportions, mostly in the ME, but also policies of austerity, and even manufactured racial division in the US, and it’s only going to get worse. Oh, the humanity!

However, Mr. C, I disagree with you. It’s a false dilemma.

And yet, I think yours is the false dilemma, since you are worried about things America cannot resolve, they are just convenient excuses for intervention in foreign lands.

You seemed to be asking about the economic problems of the USA since the end of the Vietnam war and that is what i found interesting; that America was, after LBJ, a fallen woman.

Who gives a shit about the tearing of the social fabric? The social fabric is just a construct for normalcy. Without division there is no change. Complacency leads to fascism. The proles in Ferguson are fighting back and the USA will watch them lose and the fascisti will press their foot harder upon the neck of the oppressed. Did you not read Jackson’s 3 points?

After LBJ, perhaps, until Reagan.

What economic problems? We’ve been enjoying a false prosperity since the end of WWII, enabled by federal borrowing and the fed. We’re at the ultimate conclusion of that 70 year cycle, and the central banks intend on implementing a global police state to enforce their usury.

I don’t know WTF you’re blithering on about, except possibly I’m missing the point. What are Jackson’s 3 points?
