I really feel the the American people since they pay for enormous taxes to pay for the US military machine and NASA.Being the Global policeman costs $ trillions.40% of their pop live close to poverty.ie They earn enough just to survive.

The salient point that has come out of this is that the likes of Fanny May & Freddie Mac have perpetrated this con by donating a total of $900 million to the Bush Govt.It is about time that donations by big corporates were banned both here and OS.You don't give big donations like this,without some compromising the public common good.

In this case it has affected the Global economy.
