With the dollar low, housing losing its footing, food and oil prices surging, ...?

Question

a war where we are spinning our wheels, a global climate that is changing well beyond most of the worst predictions. What side of these issues has the current administration been on?

I am not writing about talk, I am talking about actions that had consequences, whether they were done intentionally or not really doesn't matter for this question.

Is is all just chance for America to be in the position it is in now, and this administration happened to be in charge, or is it more of the policies that got us in to this very messy situation?

The real tough question Why?

Answer 1

The current U.S. administration has been making the rules up as they go along and have little knowledge of what the general population thinks or the conditions they face.

It's impractical for the current administration to do anything meaningful being  a "lame duck" administration.     Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned duck as D. Chenny might take a shot at it.

Never in the history of this country have we had a president act more like an absolute dictator than before Lincoln and Lincoln suspended habeas corpus.

Answer 2

its just how things are and nobody can answer this question.

Answer 3

Food prices are high because of the actions of Democrats in congress.  They got subsidies for farmers to grow crops for biofuels, which are more profitable.  The result is a decrease in world food supply, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time what with the Midwest being underwater and China being ravaged by an Earthquake.

The current administration was against this.

The Bush administration also passed the Energy Bill of 2005.  Little has come of this yet, as is usually the case of such bills, but it set forth a new guiding energy policy that encourages renewable energy, and grants tax breaks to energy companies and consumers that invest in technologies like solar and wind power.

Congress volunteered to tackle the cost of oil and its problems in their 2006 re-election campaign, and they have only made things worse.

Answer 4

I think that's the question on every ones minds. I too would love an answer to that.

Answer 5

Yes, I agree that there does seem to be a grand strategy of some kind- but what it exactly is, I have no idea.

It is indeed a very strange time.

I'd argue where currently in this position due to a combination of factors- including poor planning and foresight, Big Oil and International Lender greed, a desire to rekindle the Military Industrial Complex to Cold War levels of output for the benefit of the US economy- but somehwre alongn the way a spanner fell in the works.

Some conspiracy theorists argue Mr Bush Jnr, not only a leading head of the New World Order and  believe the Inner Earthians and Lizard People is a UK Royalist trying to return the USA back to Mother England- I think this is more than a little far fetched though. Some people are very creative, aren't they- perhaps they should be noielists?

Answer 6

I think that America is being brought to it's knees in the fallout from starting a war that should never have been started, but truly I don't believe it was deliberately done, as it's blatantly obvious that George W never done his homework, I don't support either Obama or McCain, I am an independent thinker.

Answer 7

I am a so called "Conspiracy Theorist"

George Bush is mearly a puppet to the Bilderberg commitee. These powerful people from Europe and North America meet with high level business CEO and discuess what world events will happen so they can use those reasons to pass new laws and trade Unions. Like the European Union the US will soon be part of a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. The goal is a one world government that cannot be overthrown.
