US government is plagued with corruption and scandal as much as corporations.
You forget how the Cali congress man had an affair with an intern and she disappeared and found dead. Sandra Levy I believe was her name. Most people would've gone to jail or atleast had a trial. All he got was unemployement.
Watergate, the whole IRAQ and weapons of mass descruction crap and how Cheney owns stock with Haliburtron. Iran contra affair. Anything else, pork barrel spending.....
I also understand Jaydee's point because somethings are bad in US doesn't mean everything is bad too.
People have to understand US as an economy is the world's biggest consumers. Without the US greedily buying prada purses, goods from China and Korean, and vast amounts of oil for SUVs that all the other countries would collapse first. Consumers can leave without goods as long as they survive. US can do without plasma Tv's and expensive cars and clothes and extravagent things. Just plain economics.
