Third World

In case anyone has not noticed the US dollar is dropping like a rock taking with it our standard of living. Americans don't get out much so they may not realize that you can buy a house or apartment cheaper in the US than in many Third World countries. You can also live better in many of these places than you can here. Many people resident in the US are going back to their home countries because things are getting worse here and better there. The writer offers hope that things will change in November but nothing will change. Americans are too stupid to realize what is happening to them and they run like lemmings right over any cliff their leaders take them. Our patriot ancestors must be puking in their graves! Like Great Britain and the Roman Empire we had a nice run - now it's down to the bottom for us.
