Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Unprecedented Bailout clipped by: robm47 Clip Source: robm47.amplify.com robm47 says: The cause of our economic fallout was too much lending.How have world governments attempted to fix the problem?More lending!Go figure! Clipped from www.thedailycrux.com The size of the bailout so far is absolutely unprecedented in all of history. Last November, ace researcher James Bianco did some math and found bailout spending at that time was equal to the inflation-adjusted cost of the Marshall Plan, Louisiana Purchase, Race to the Moon, S&L Crisis, Korean War, New Deal, Iraq invasion, Vietnam, and NASA ? combined. Only World War II rivaled the bailout. And that was back in November. All that spending originates as borrowing, and there?s no way it?ll ever be repaid.

Turn, Turn, Turn: A time for Learn, Learn, Learn Afghan War clipped by: nedhamson1 clippers remarks: Vietghanistan could sink Obama and hurt US.

(McClatchy-Tribune) In Vietnam and Afghanistan, the United States (along with NATO in the current war) spent vast sums of money to train an indigenous military that proved to be just as corrupt as its government and wholly ineffective. Enemy soldiers in both places were largely indistinguishable from the local population because they, too, were Vietnamese and now, in most cases, Afghans. And in both wars the United States was fighting highly skilled, ideological zealots for communism and now for Islamic extremism. I am not saying here that Afghanistan will become a 21st-century Vietnam. But I am saying we should hope that Obama will learn from President Lyndon Johnsons mistakes as he considers that troop-increase request soon to land on his desk. Tags: learn zum Artikel...
