&lt;br /&gt;
All we hear is how they are going to financially support the banks and businesses which were the ones whose corruption caused the crisis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they will not tax the rich in the same way that they do for everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't they realize yet that this economic crisis is not about the individuals who are making millions, it is about the millions who are trying to make it in each day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When are they going to help the real people who are in need?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or is this just another example of how unfair our society has become.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-5920489109374646882?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The mastermind behind the Euro currency was Germany, but as the crisis deepens even the German economy is starting to show some worrying cracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could this be the fall of the German empire?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list of countries that are caught up in this Euro zone crisis include, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Belgium and even France has a credit rating downgrade hanging over its head. It seems that as each week goes by another country is added to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Germany has always been seen as the architect of the Euro currency and although their economy has been growing strong with the Euro as the basis of the German economic system, it has meant that Germany now carries most of the European debt within its banks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the debt crisis in Europe is not solved quickly the chances are that Europe will break up and that will be the end of the Euro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will also mark the end of Germany's domination in Europe and the world will witness the fall of the German empire.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-2519912275299944066?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Occupy Movement has formed recently to confront the corporate state and to make the voice of the people heard against the inequality, injustice and bad leadership which are now transparently evident all across the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They started with Occupy Wall Street, but the movement quickly took hold in the majority of the capital cities around the world. Occupy demonstrations are now being seen in over one hundred countries and growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Occupy Movement is non hierarchical which makes it very difficult for the authorities to deal with because there is no head to capture. The focus of the movement is that everyone shares the power of leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way it resonates with people from all walks of life who had experience of the total inequality and injustice that the government leaders have shown towards them while filling the pockets of their rich corporate friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Occupy Movement is big and it will get bigger as more examples come to light of the way the corporate state is treating its people. ‘Occupy’ is here to stay because it confronts the unfair non-democratic corporate state.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-6322427330601270224?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As more countries within Europe have experienced difficulties with their debt problems then more control has moved towards Germany and France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now the world is watching as the leaders of Germany and France call a summit in Brussels so that they can inform the rest of Europe as to what they have decided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically what will happen is that Europe will become a federal run group of countries under the financial and political fiscal control of Germany and maybe France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words Europe will be restructured in the way that Germany wishes without there being a need for a war to do it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-6375277255573346141?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Scrapbook albums are often decorated and contain extensive journals of past events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to preserving memories, the hobby is popular for the strong social network that scrapbooking can provide. Hobbyists, known as ‘scrappers’ or ‘scrapbookers’ get together at each other's homes, local scrapbook stores and various scrapbooking conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scrapbooking is an enjoyable widely practiced pastime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can create beautiful and personalized scrapbook projects which you will treasure for a lifetime.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-5637686732805953986?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Obviously not satisfied with bringing their country to the brink of disaster by squabbling over the debt ceiling debate, which eventually caused their country to have its credit rating downgraded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are now willing to do it again and cause a potential government shutdown this week over what should be simple straightforward legislation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who is making America look stupid?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lawmakers in Congress? Yes in part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Republican Party? Yes, because they should have more control over the situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, who is it that would dare to make their own country look stupid?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yep, you got it, the amateurs in politics, the renegade dissident Republicans, The Tea Party Movement are committing political suicide once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they keep on saying that their focus is on the interests of their country and the American people.

&lt;br /&gt;
The argument being used by the Republicans is that if the rich are taxed more then it will affect job creation and the growth of the economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Innovative small businesses are the ones which create the new jobs, not the big companies and large conglomerates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The way to beat the recession and to get sustainable economic recovery is to stimulate, motivate and invest in the innovative small businesses which will create the jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a tried and tested solution that works because it not only creates jobs, but also new ideas, new products and new businesses which increases consumer confidence and boosts the economy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-2435882518242342402?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The people of those countries have caused a revolution in their fight for democracy and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This has been called the Arab Spring and with it the people will soon have liberty and the wealth of their oil revenues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world has also watched some dramatic changes in the Western countries where financial crisis, debt problems and the recession have caused what is being called Austerity Measures and although the people of those Western countries have democracy and freedom, they do not have sufficient money to enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We asked two thousand people to take part in some interview research to discover which things that we do in our lives are loved the most. The above question was the first that we posed to them, how would you answer it?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The President has his hands tied by the irresponsible elected politicians on Capitol Hill who cannot be mature enough to work together in a bipartisan way to solve the economic problems that their country is facing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of the parties wants to lose ground by shifting their position, because they see it as a way of getting elected in 2012. They have no consideration for millions of their countrymen who have lost their jobs and homes, all they are thinking about is getting themselves re-elected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The American economy could be re-energized overnight if just a few strong men and women within Congress and the Senate were to forget the election and their party views and have the audacity to support the President in saving his country and helping the people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-4024307312945942204?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

And it is not about  who the top two in the poll are, that really doesn't matter, but what does matter is what they stand for and who they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the embarrassing situation regarding the deficit debate with the Tea Party dictating the negotiations between the White House administration and the Republican party, the last thing that the Republican leadership wanted was to see this straw poll result giving two members of the Tea Party the top two positions and putting them firmly in the limelight again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it continues this way with the Tea Party taking the focus away from the Republican party it can only spell defeat and limit any chance of them hoping to win the 2012 Presidential election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list of Republican candidates was already looking a bit lukewarm and this latest episode will only reinforce the view that as a party they do not have a candidate that could stand toe to toe with Obama and win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only will the Republicans lose in 2012, but so will the short sighted Tea Party Movement.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-1843477119730117937?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Well we found out the hard way that we can no longer trust the banks and financial institutions, the painful recession shows what their greed did to the economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police have been found to be in the pocket of the Murdoch organization, which has also put the media industry under close examination creating yet more lack of trust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The politicians are inherently corrupted by power and by risking even more of the taxpayer's money in bailouts and having such long &lt;a href="http://whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com/2011/07/is-united-states-of-america-about-to.html"&gt;deficit debates&lt;/a&gt; they have lost all possible credibility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The education system is regulated to protect bad teachers and ensure a grossly inadequate education for the future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every part of &lt;a href="http://whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com/2011/05/our-broken-society.html"&gt;our broken society&lt;/a&gt; is now starting to show signs of crumbling and just one more push could bring it all down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could it be increased terrorism that provides the final push, or climate change with its devastating natural disasters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps all it will take is the frustration of the young and an upsurge of anarchy that will end our so-called society.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This has happened to Greece, Ireland and Portugal, so who is going to be the next country to declare that they have no financial liquidity?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well the way the lawmakers in Washington are carrying on it could soon be the United States of America that meets the same fate. Because if no partisan agreement on raising the debt ceiling is found, it could soon mean that no salaries are paid and the US credit rating will be dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean that effectively the USA has defaulted on its financial credit to China who is lending the US money so that it can survive. If the USA goes down then so will many other countries in the world and very soon there would be a domino effect across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who would have ever thought that the USA could get themselves in such a mess. It is not actually anything to do with finance and the economic situation in the country, it is all about political pride and the fact that we are entering into the campaigning for next year's Presidential election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nobody wants to give any ground and be seen to be weaker, so instead they would rather see their own country fall and then blame each other for the consequences. This is exactly what happened in Greece, Ireland and Portugal, Grown men acting like children playing politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well for the sake of the country, GROW UP!, before it is too late.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-5056246057308797093?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
But with the way our broken society now is there is little hope of that support coming from the younger members of the family. In many countries the unemployment rate for young people is now as high as forty percent, which puts an even bigger burden on the elder family members to find more money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some cases retired folk are discovering that they can only do this by taking out expensive loans secured against their homes, in the hope that things will change for the better in the future, but there seems to be little chance of that happening soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our broken society has been caused by the greed of a few evil executives who sit in their ivory bank towers and watch the world suffer as they continue to get away with their corrupt ways. And we are all just allowing it to happen all over again, what fools we are!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3863873145308454129-8044924213494145280?l=whatoldfolksay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
