"I think if would be simpler for me to clarify a few things right off the bat. By simple definition, we are in the business of winning wars. What else do you need an army for? Take the Cold War. We won, without firing a single shot. Why? One, we just flat-out out-spent them. The Russians couldn't shovel money into the fire faster than we could. Two, technology. No one shapes nature the way we do. We take atoms and molecules, and by the time we're finished with them, they're everything from combat boots to bombs, the kind of bombs no one from the other side will ever see until the damn thing's plowing down their chimney like Santa Claus from hell!

Isn't the US debt clock around $12 trillion?
The actual debt is more than there is money in existence, so it´ll never get paid off giving the banks a total control over the world.
I recon they should pass a law setting all dept and money to 0, so we can start again on an even field.

capitalism is dictatorship in disguise
I love how seriously people take these numbers. Of course national debt is an important thing to keep an eye on but our economic systems rely on debt. It's what pushes economies further. Neither the US or UK are anywhere near a state of emergency. And the credit crunch isn't what I class as an emergency.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the US been in a state of emergency since like the 20's?
And yeah its an economic system but economic systems can often times play a huge result in the type of government established.
And what results from capitalism (the corruption, complete control, ect.) can easily be linked to what occurs under a dictatorship.

No, but the US did spend the time from 1920 to 1978 in a state of emergency because no one bothered to check. After that Congress ruled that a state of emergency could only last 2 years unless actively extended.
