How at risk are we? Have we screwed the pooch?

Why This Could Be Worse Than The Republican Great Depression
By Thom Hartmann
At its core, the problem with the banks today is twofold. First, we don’t make anything anymore. Which means we don’t “create real wealth.” More on that in a minute, but the bottom line is that we don’t have any sort of bottom line – there’s nothing to catch us as we fall, because we don’t have a manufacturing base to fall on like we did in the 1930s. More from Air America...


RMAN: I'm afraid this is precisely what I've personally thought--that the US was taking risks with both deregulation and the shipping of our manufacturing industries to China and Malasia and Taiwan. But I never saw anyone in the media say it. Now they have. Ewww. That would make us in bigger trouble than everyone thinks and I hope this guy is full of crap because if he ISN'T, we'll be in the shitter and won't be able to climb out.
