Is America fucked?

[kestra]

This is a serious question. I'm certainly no economics expert, but something's gotta give. From the Wall Street bailout, to the auto industry bailout, to the Madoff $50 billion fraud, to the Iraqi/Afghanistan costs, how is America going to survive? Is this the beginning of the end?

I watched Zeitgeist Addendum with a HUGE grain of salt, but it begs a few questions nonetheless regarding the federal reserve, credit, etc...

Or is this nothing really new, and dysfunctional business as usual? and where the hell can I get a bailout without having to submit a detailed plan or oversight on how I spend it? (I know, I know I'm a Canuck...just askin')
