Those who clamored for cheap goods and prices from foreign products, are now realising that it has hurt them and their economy.
Really, who didn't see this coming 20 years ago??
Keep shopping at Wal-Mart, and buying CRAP that breaks down in only a few years. Keep dealing with companies that offer "customer service" from overseas.
I must be one of the last ones to actually try to buy local for everything.

Much talk lately about austerity.
Funny thing though.
If you have your lifestyle adapted so that you don't rely on the government, then austerity is really no big deal.
It's the people who embraced the socialist ideals that have to suffer when austerity is utilised.

Yes, yes it is horrible actually.
The overwhelming vast majority of human behaviour is not based on "needs" (at least the basic Maslow list - food, air, water, housing etc...).
You dont "need" a large TV, so you arent allowed to have one because it takes resources from the rest of the community.
You dont "need" to drink a beer, so you arent allowed to have one because it takes resources from the rest of the community.
You dont "need" to go to the movies, so you arent allowed to do it because it takes resources from the rest of the community.
And for all those people with hobbies, sorry, you dont "need" any of that stuff.
A much better system of government is not based on needs at all, but allows for people who do have needs but cannot achieve them on their own.

Thats not true at all. National Socialism aims to provide affordable recreation for every person.

Which part of that phrase is a bad word? I am assuming that socialism is the word that stopped you in your tracks...
What is socialism?
Socialism WAS a pillar of civilization until it was used to rock the foundation of liberty.
I have read a few of your posts and realize this is beating a dead horse.
You may as well be sold on the stock market
Socialism: A socialist economic system would consist of an organisation of production to directly satisfy economic demands and human needs, so that goods and services would be produced directly for use instead of for private profit driven by the accumulation of capital, and accounting would be based on physical quantities, a common physical magnitude, or a direct measure of labour-time.[5][6] Distribution of output would be based on the principle of individual contribution.

The problem with you and many others is that they associate a term such as "socialism" with an evil empire and not a true means of government.

But the nazis weren't socialists, right?lol
Socialism WAS a pillar of civilization until it was used to rock the foundation of liberty. Thats about as clear as I can make it.

Yes I will do without a TV, I will suffer without beer, movies of make believe I can do without. What I hate is seeing our people starve, I hate seeing our people live in filth, I hate seeing children not knowing how to read, I hate seeing our people not knowing how to write.

You are absoulty correct socialism under the rule of Adolf Hitler, did and still does to this day rock the cradle of liberty.
A common tool such as screwdriver can be used to drive a crew into a piece of wood to fix a piece of furniture, but it can also be driven into a persons heart to kill him/her.
The point is, that government is a tool, it can be used for bad or good. But don't blame the tool for the users fault.
