		<description>@Gillyp,

Yep, problem is politics is not about politics  (the representation of people) anymore but there seems to be just one policy all over the board, representing markets, markets and markets...se Question Time last thursday Peter Hitchens was in my opinion the only one with the right attitude towards an electorate. I was furthermore flabbergasted by the way that according to a couple of members of the panel religion apparently has turned into something that is used as a cover against, rather than a believe ...in a better future....FOR HUMANITY (rather than for capital).</description>

		<description>A slight correction about &quot;protectionism&quot; (tariffs and import duties) not protecting anyone:  they do not protect the to 10% by income.  That does not mean they do not protect the 90% majority of Americans.

Unlike Britain, the USA is a continental country with large resources and skills, but with a Government which has proven itself unable to negotiate a square deal for American workers.  Unable and unwilling.  The pocket of the common man is easily picked by politicians, while the must ask for money from the rich.  This is corrupt.  This is unacceptable.  And the American people cannot afford to pour our national income down the Middle Eastern rat hole wars and thus cannot afford to wait 100 years for our Government to decide to get out.

Our Government needs to institute heavy import duties, to pull all American troops back to American territory, and to begin an anti-corruption reform to eliminate bribery from our political system.  They will not do any of these things.  So it is the task of the American people to change our entire political system to one that will.</description>

		<description>Mr. Gordon Brown must be smoking that laissez-faire (cocaine) capitalism again. Oh how short the memory of President Clinton&#039;s attempts to flood the Mexican markets with cheap foodstuffs from the USA, leaving in the wake, broken, bankrupt Mexican farmers..who, by the way, jumped over the border fences, entering our country illegally in search of work!</description>

		<description>@Cynicalism

Yes I still remember the announcement from labou, I do not remember whether it was Mr. Blair or Mr. Brown stating on television that boom and bust now were a thing of the past...if only they knew.....-what Thatcher and Reagan had caused-. Ultra liberalism in a capitalist society with slave labor is to wreck the lower and middle classes.

But, we ARE amidst some busts now, so we have to find a solution to survive, the only solution is work, but the dualism between financial and social economics, promoting low cost production for high priced markets will lead us to the opposite direction of discovery, we must address THAT problem.</description>

		<description>The bigger danger is that Broon is an adviser to the WEF. This man ended booom and buust??  He was a pseudo communist non-elected Prime Minister and developed a typical red overmanned civil service and taxation burden on th UK.   God help the WEF if they ever listen to him.</description>
