America's economy is broken. We hear it everyday when we turn on the news, open our Internet browsers or listen to talk radio. Everywhere you look... more bad news. Layoffs, stock market misery, falling home prices, massive unemployment and, worst of all, President Obama pontificating about economic Armageddon. The government's response has been underwhelming... stimulus, bailouts, blah, blah, blah. None of it seems to make any difference. Realistically, the government cannot do much of anything in the short term. Anyone who understands anything about economics could tell you that and yet we have dozens of classically trained economists recommending every possible solution with no clear consensus. Why? No one wants to talk about the real problem... you and I. That's right, the system did not fail, we did.
The blame for this entire debacle is solely at the feet of the American people. I know you are thinking "Good God Arthur, isn't that a bit harsh?" and you are right, it is harsh. The truth hurts. I am not one to mince words and I call it how I see it. What we are witnessing right now is a national case of "pass the buck". Republicans blame liberals. Liberals blame the conservatives and supply-side economics. Rednecks blame the Mexicans. Rich blame the lazy poor, poor blame the greedy rich and the middle class blames everyone but themselves. Let's examine the real reason we are in the midst of worst economic times of any of our lives.

It's not the people, it's the failure of a system that cannot adapt to the evolution of the populous.
We do have a huge part to play in it, but blaming the people?

Why is so difficult for a valid third option, different to the faggoty of republicans and the democrats, to arise?
This Arthur is a retard and a douche. The fact he felt the need to type an 18 paragraph prelude before stating "Our spending habits destroyed our banking system" and he believes that this is somehow revelatory proves this.
Consumer behaviour is just one of many contributory factors, not the sole cause, usually market forces work to counter a rise in demand by increasing expense, the state however is steeped in keynesian superstition and believes that credit and interest rates have magical wizard powers and should not be left to market forces regardless of economic reality. This is why spending habits ran out of control, banks could obtain easy credit from the federal reserve and government sponsored enterprises so they didn't raise interest rates and they never questioned the state's endless supply of money as they have been indoctrinated to believe that it is infallible by liberal propoganda which targets the universities they were educated in.

developed countries economies are rising exponentially
nothing to worry about on the economic front.

Because that's how first-past-the-poll works.
Think about it: if for example 45% of the population supported the Militarism and Laissez-Faire party and 25% of the population supported the Ecology and Socialism party and 30% of the population supported the Peace and Anarchism party then the Militarism and Laissez-Faire party would win every election until either the E&C or the A gave up and joined with the other. And the receiving party doesn't even have to make concessions because it's a question of best of two evils. As long as there's one-person-one-vote and one prize to win the tendency is towards a two party system.
