We need to reinstate the gold standard and revert prices and wages back to 1964 levels to undo all the banksters' damage.

This is what is goin on in our backyard--wake up I worked for an employer for two years that gave me a regular w2, right? when i asked for overtime he said i have to put you on 1099 as independent contractor because i cant afford those taxes,i said ok and was working 70 hrs a week to pay my bills. 2 years later, i get fired because i ask for my tax forms, cant collect unemployment because i was 1099 employee. I got kids to feed like everybody else.

Austerity does and will make things so called "worse", which is necessary for things to get better. The private sector is indeed full of Crony Capitalistic Corporations who are in bed with the Gubmints:(

goats rule earth.....hard and slow....and then in 15 years whoevers alive and not too crippled will be those left. and the light will be here,then.

I have been reading the important ones. One example and you can also watch the video "hide the decline". The Medieval Warm Period 5111 Pollack: But it will be very difficult to make the MWP go away in Greenland.

Yes, he wants endless government-driven growth, which means targeted spending based on political considerations, not economic growth at all.

You've read over 1000 of the hacked emails?

Nope! Climategate debunked "global warming". Did you read the hacked email? I did.

Nope we can, again with the "resetting" easy way out. Gradual change takes determination, protest, talking to your friends about it, striking, in one word mobilizing, but it definitely can be done and has been. And ideally I'd much rather have a Communist government, but Keynesianism is a step closer to that goal than a vague resetting "plan"...

These two guys are idiots. The United States is in a Depression that ultimately turn into another GREAT DEPRESSION. That's reality folks.

Check out Zeitgeist Moving Forward movie, or the Venus Project. We indeed need to find alternatives towards endless growth. Technological unemployment already exists, but in the future it may be far worse, and this whole system in we live in will unfortunately no longer support us. The Zeitgeist and Venus project gives us a some insight into a solution. (I don't agree with ALL their facts and figures) but it's still a great documentary.

Aren't Jews destroying and robbing the world? Goldman Saches and friends? Why do we have this blood PAC with Israel? We need to isolate and put teeth back in production and jobs. If special interests want to conduct wars abroad they shouldn't use the people's military via fear mongering. They have their private militaries.

Not so, I am just waiting for policy to pay attention to all of the reseach coming out of the social sciences and just science and engineering in general... rather than policy used to put more bandaids on a system that is falling apart a little more every year. Most policy being passed now a days is designed to control how the public behaves so that a small precentage of people can continue enjoying the status and privilage that the current system produces. It is epic suicidal madness.

Thank you real news network for actually reporting on important issues. The truth is elites all over the industrialized countries are trying to push austerity and hurt the majority of the population. Within the U.S., both parties are trying their hardest to cut Social Security and Medicare. MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, ABC, and CBS, don't report on the attempts by the elites (who are represented by both parties) to cut social programs when there is absolute ZERO need to do so. The real news does!!!!

Most of his comments about changing the US economy are spot on, but 1 thing that no one mentions as a way of helping the US would be TARIFFS, on all goods that are coming from the Pacific rim. The Japanese economy was copied by the Chinese and the So Koreans and they are extremely protectionist of their own economies, and it was also the way our country paid for itself prior to the Fed, and the elastic currency that the Indiana Monetary Conference made a reality by the creation of the FED

Why do you say that
-
Warfare,warfare and more warfare.! More bombs please.

oh no not Bob Polin again!!! get this hack off the internet!!

Well, personal nanofactories pretty much imply anarchism, not the centralised control by manipulation of scarcity that is so prevalent as a form of social control today. I wouldn't worry too much (some, but not unhealthily so) about that. Besides, if we don't get off this insane ideology of economic "growth" implied by the current system, resource depletion with ecological damage will pretty much fuck us over anyways. Both staying put and moving are dangerous, but staying put is lethal.

Actually, climategate was debunked.
