Yes indeed Americans will work it out eventually but it will be all too late.
'Occupy Wall Street' does prove that some USA citizens are waking from their naive slumber, however the numbers are few. It is time for people to stop celebrating political victories with pomp an ceremony and start realizing that your government, which itself is controlled by 'other interests' is screwing you all over. Your country is broke. You have excess debt levels to the point where bankruptcy is inevitable. Your politicians are puppets of Wall Street and do as they are ordered while the rest of the country eek out a bare existence surviving one day at a time!
Americas 'bank holiday' is coming and in the not so distant future all the peasants will head for the bank to withdraw their meager savings but all for nought - it will be long gone, only the privileged will have had prior warning. In the meantime you keep living the fantasy that you can click your heels and everything will be ok, you keep printing money, you keep pretending. What a sad dose of reality millions will experience when the house of cards finally crumbles.
