Poll question: Will the US stand for nationalism or humanity at the G-20 Summit next week.
Edited on Fri Mar-27-09 05:44 PM by RB TexLa
Leaders around the world are calling for the nations of the G-20 to plan a coordinated effort to improve the worldwide economy. How will the US government respond? Will we be part of the problem or part of the solution?

1. Nice loaded question there...

BTW: As we've all seen, the US economy is integral TO the global economy. The more American workers left to die will only result in more downturns for the rest of the world as well.

AND vice-versa.

What do you do for a living?





Addendum: I am not responding to the poll.

3. It's one sided and erroneous.
A lot of people have posted, time and again, about other countries already engaging in protectionism, or making toxic products, with proof, and the OP still has a "blame America first and only America" mindset.

11. So am I, but sometimes optimism needs to be grounded in reality. Not fantasy.
People need more to go on than words.

13. Sorry, but I'm upset right now.
I might need to take a break and breathe deeply... collect myself, my soul, and continue on with life as best as possible. My sanity deserves no less.
