Interesting little comment:

"According to the U.S. Treasury Department, America's first 42 Presidents, from George Washington (1789) to Bill Clinton (2000), borrowed a combined total of $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions. From 2000 to 2006, the Bush White House has borrowed $1.05 trillion alone. Yes, that means we have borrowed in the last 5 years what we had previously borrowed in the first 211 years of our country."

Well, this doesn't take into account other issues such as personal debt, corp debt, M3, interest...

Geezzzz... it kind of makes you think... Bush did a few business bankrupties, so now he has brought this country wide...

So I ask, why did Bush take such a risk? I think because Peak Oil, we are going for broke here...

I think it was Mike Rivero who wrote "The last official act of any government is the looting of the nation."

These guys are conducting a corporate plunder unequalled in history. And, the best part for them is they get out with all the loot, leave someone else with the bill and cleanup, and get to retire fat and happy on their new beachfront, courtesy of global warming.

Record profits, record looting, record plundering can all be linked to record numbers of people.

While people believe otherwise, there is no future prosperity from which anything significant can be borrowed anymore.

I believe you need to consider that there is no "reason" per se.
The hard facts are that the US is controlled by a group of chickhawk, privileged, heartless cowards.
They have all done their best to avoid service, none has known hardship and have no connection to the general public except for a feeling of contempt.
There is no higher purpose to their agenda. They are craven, soulless monsters.

A painting by Goya called "Saturn Devouring His Children" is one of the most succinct means of expressing what your country has become.
A madness has taken possession of your country and it is eating your children.
