Hell.....The US has not been in the running as a Top economic nation since it had its AAA credit rating lowered not once but twice under the Obama administration. Any nation that takes in over 7 Trillion annually and has a debt of 20 Trillion while its citizens are still holding their hat in their hands at the welfare line and demanding "more soup please" has no connection to any type of economic management skills. I would not "invest" a penny in any time of government bound or t bill....one would be better off placing their investment funds into private organizations like "Enron" with the only difference being...the federal money changers are never subject to audit or criminal investigation might less punishment for the crimes of mismanaging the PEOPLES WEALTH. The real crime is the ignorant people that keep voting the criminals into public office for a few welfare giveaways.
At least the people that voted for a candidate that pledged to MAKE AMERICAN GREAT (wink, wink) AGAIN....had the common sense to accept the reality that America has not been GREAT since this last generation became old enough to vote...or more precisely.....to apathetic and spoiled not to care enough about their nation to EVER VOTE. They just bitch and complain when their soup bowl looks like its nearing the half way point of being empty.
