9 areas the recovery has left behind

In this article every town has a beautiful picture of the city except Flint. Why is that?. I live near Flint and although we have some very blighted areas there are still some beautiful areas too. We get so much bad press. It just makes it more difficult  to make any progress. 

Writing of the Ancient Athenians, historian Edward Gibbon said, “In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”

If that isn't a description of today's Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Barak Obama, California liberal (they broadcast and tout their extreme socialist agenda every day), you tell me what is.

And if you think we aren't circling the drain as the Athenians once did, you're eitehr not paying attention or you're propagandized by our media to the point of brain death.

@Bela,

How old are you? What adult in their right mind would concoct a post like yours? Farty Fran, Doody Dodd, OBOMBO???? You sound like a 5 year old. First and foremost, GROW UP! Secondly, if you are on the right, a conservative, tea party, whatever.....you are indicative of everything that is wrong with the republicans. Lastly, GROW UP!!!!!!!

Why is economic environment so bleak? The two main reasons are,

the first one is very oblivious.  

The off shoring of manufacturing and services:

 Both parties are to blame for this. The have pitched their lies about how the Global Economy would be good for America.  The only thing this did accomplish is to allow the competitors of the United States access to innovative technology. At one time the United States had the monopoly on this. Now they can compete on the so called “Level playing field.” A true level playing field is for the competitors of America to create their own technology and compete with America that way. That is true competition. NAFTA has showed it true colors.

The second and probably more damaging:

The failure of Capitalism

I am a true believer in pure Capitalism, It has proven to work quite well when left alone.

Capitalism you can equate to a fire. For combustion you need Oxygen. In Capitalism you need ideas (innovation). Ideas are what makes any economy breath. For combustion you need a source of ignition. In capitalism you need competition (It is the heat that drives innovation).  In combustion you need fuel. In Capitalism you need very good business decision makers (If good decisions are not made the company will fail.) Flames and Capitalism need three basic components to thrive. Remove one component and failure will occur.

When the government prop up companies that should fail due to the lack of innovation, or bad decision making, it will always stops innovation in its tracks. Smaller companies with fresh new ideas are not able to thrive and how could they in this type of environment. This also creates a lack of competition, another death blow for Capitalism.

We need to elect officials that have basic understanding of this. Capitalism is on its death bed right now. We as Americans need to fix it before it is to late.
