rank 24 º to 49 º in ten years
(The fall in life expectancy in the U.S.)
In the 60 Minutes program , it was the massive increase in students homeless in public schools.
In one Florida county the number of homeless students who go to public schools is increasing from 15 to 30 students a day!
While the machinery of war and military bases Washington beat budget records and other power figures give a less powerful:

According to studies conducted separately by Columbia University and World Health Organization U.S. has spent in only ten years of the post 24 to 49 or or in the classification Global life expectancy.
In 1960, U.S. citizens were in fifth place ,
behind only two Scandinavian countries, Holland and Australia.
It took 40 years to lose 19 positions and only another 10 to come down another 25 .
Among the causes of the collapse of his real life expectancy include obesity, smoking, alcoholism, poor nutrition, diseases cured evil, violence and other problems typical of countries with an index of worse human development.
And it is no longer taboo, even in major newspapers, including The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal , talking openly of decline of the country of Barack Obama, even in some cases to describe the situation as nothing less than "the collapse of American empire."
Various statistics, similar to those of life expectancy, confirm a seemingly unstoppable deterioration of the quality of life:
late 2009, the National Center for Health Statistics (National Center for Health Statistics) placed the country at number 30 or the world in infant mortality, one of the basic parameters development.
Newborns Americans die for reasons similar to those of adults, due to an inadequate way of life "poor" ( for details, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/20361522? dopt = Abstract )
the number of infants, one of the leading causes of infant mortality is more than twice that of Finland.
But the bad thing is that if the United Nations agreed in general terms, and place to USA in place or 33, own calculations Central Intelligence Agency (CIA ) relegate to 46 or position, in any event, behind Cuba , located around 28 ° position, almost on par with Italy.
addition, all statistics or estimates for 2009 or 2010 were significantly worse s that only one or two decades ago and, despite the global crisis is a fact, no other country to register a so pronounced decline in indicators of quality of life.
does not need any study to see how the hours increased gradually work on everything from the 80s and at the same time the purchasing power was being lost at the same speed.
In school things are getting worse also :
American students rank number 27 or or between 33 OECD countries in terms of results in the humanities, and 22 or in science subjects. This means that to maintain leadership, and not just the prestigious Ivy League and the abundance of Nobel prizes, if the masses have a very poor education.
There are many statistics and reports speaking of a country that is tumbling rapidly in areas ranging from poor stability of the banking system (according to the World Economic Forum, competes with Venezuela at No. 100 or the world) to drastic reduction of public transport.
In cities and smaller towns to cope with the crisis deleted entire lines of buses and trains .
The research points to the stratospheric debt to affirm the need ( sic) to reduce the compulsory school in some states .
Not forgetting the tragedy of more than two million people in prison or the freezing of salaries of soldiers in service weapons.
The country that was advertised as "champion of freedom" is already the global champion of the prison population. In the U.S., for every 100 thousand inhabitants is 730 purging in some prison sentences. The countries that follow are Belarus and Russia (with 532 prisoners per 100 thousand inhabitants) (Spain about 90 per 100 000 inhabitants) ----------------
---- INCREASE OF PRISONERS (EU) since 1981 This dramatic increase of prisoners and the business of private prisons AL GORE has much to do always involved in high level corruption:

Some observers of the country are now talking openly of imperial decline. Just take a look at this article from The New York Times ( http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/07/us/07cutbacksWEB.html ) or this other The Wall Street Journal ( http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704913304575370950363737746.html ) to understand that, across the Atlantic, something big is happening with unexpected rapidity.
The Wall Street Journal, the Bible global capitalism, has in the article mentioned the waiver pave thousands of roads in various regions of the United States because there is no money to do .
If Professor John Habermann, who has recently conducted a workshop entitled Back to the Stone Age (Back to the Stone Age) , dedicated precisely to the reappearance of dirt roads, exaggerates the size of the leap ago, Glenn Greenwald, Salon, and many with him, they agree on something ten years ago would have considered unthinkable to see in our lifetimes: the collapse of U.S.

U.S. historical Fall in global corruption index
At the bottom and if we measure the corruption by absolute numbers, not so much the U.S., but Washington would be by far the most corrupt place on earth.
THE TRUE FACT OF UNEMPLOYMENT - not manipulated: mid-October
Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs puppet Tim Geithner, gave a speech in California in backyard, or former backyard of the dispossessed of the upper middle class of Silicon Valley interviewed by 60 Minutes , which said the solution is to "educate more engineers."engineers now have more jobs for them.
In a recent survey, a marketing and research firm, Twentysomething, established that 85% of college graduates plan to go back where their parents .
Even if members of the "boomerang generation [ for its tendency to return home to her parents, N. T. ] find jobs, they do not perform as enough to have an independent existence.
financial means are useless. The reporters repeated the lie that the unemployment rate is 9.6%. Unemployment is particularly speculations, which do not account for the majority of the unemployed. The self-government more inclusive rate is 17%. The statistician John Williams, who has unemployment in the way that should have supposedly states that the unemployment rate should be 22%.
financial press turns bad news into good news.
recently trumpeted a monthly increase of 64,000 new jobs in the private sector, jobs more than offset by the loss of jobs in government.
addition, it takes 150,000 new jobs per month to keep pace with the growth of labor. In other words 100,000 new jobs per month would represent a shortfall of 50,000 jobs.

THE ONLY SUPPORT THE DOLLAR IS THE PENTAGON
dramatic increase in class differences :
University economist Lawrence Katz of Harvard explained the situation of Americans in the following way:
"Think of the U.S. economy as an apartment complex. a century ago - even made 30 years - was something enviable. But in the last generation has changed its character. The penthouses at the top are getting bigger. Between departments are increasingly tighter. And the basement is flooded. Finally, the elevator is broken.
The elevator out of service is what most depressed people. "
Call the select few penthouse in the new oligarchy, a small piece of the American people with enormous wealth, which accounts for a disproportionate share of the country's wealth.
are oil moguls and the media, corporate executives, hedge fund exchangers, philanthropists and members of the entertainment industry. Depending on where you draw the line is 1%, 0.1% or even 0.01% of the American population.
How did we get here? How is a predominantly middle-class nation turned into an oligarchy? Find answers to these questions in "Winner-Take-All Politics " a new and revealing book political scientist Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson.
The authors discuss the available numbers on wealth and poverty in the U.S. as a crime scene full of clues, suspects and alibis impasses.
The culprit in the drama is the same U.S. policy in the last thirty years. Clues to understanding the emergence of a new oligarchy is not New York or New Delhi, but in the Capitol, along with Pennsylvania Avenue and K Street, the shelter in a heartless world for Washington lobbyists.
"Step by step, debate to debate," they write, "U.S. government officials have rewritten the rules of American politics and the American economy in ways that benefit the few at the expense of the many."
Since the beginning of XXI century, we are living a historical period in which United States has been giving up their most tenuous democratic proclamations.
structures through which democracy recognizing other human beings as deserving of respect, dignity and human rights have been sacrificed in the name of a style of politics and culture that became simply an extension of the war, both inside and outside the country. However
internally, and poorly conceived, punitive state has been increasingly replacing the welfare state , while a number of individuals and groups increasingly numerous populations are now considered disposable, no worthy of such safety nets and basic protections that provide the conditions for live with a sense of security and dignity.
Based on these assessments, basic social supports were replaced by an accelerated construction of prisons, by the expansion of the criminal justice system in daily life and a growing erosion of fundamental civil liberties. Sharing responsibilities gave way to fears shared, and the only distinction that seemed to resonate in the field of culture was among friends and patriots, on the one hand, and dissidents and enemies, on the other. The
state violence became not only acceptable, but returned to normal, while the government was engaged in spying its citizens, to suspend the right to habeas corpus to punish police brutality against those who questioned the power of the state to rely on the privilege of imposing state secrets to hide their crimes and also was increasingly reducing public areas designed to protect children in schools and who remodeled stores after leaving prison.
Fear altered the landscape of rights and democratic values, while desensitize a population that was more than willing to look the other way while dehumanized, imprisoned or simply discarded in a large population.
we see every day the tragic consequences of all that while the media are reporting a host of tragic stories of people losing their homes decent, more and more young people in prison, and increasing numbers beings who are forced to live in their cars in the street or in tent cities.
The New York Times offers a front-page story about young people having to leave their families devastated by the recession to homelessness, surviving often at the cost of selling their own bodies.
And the mainstream media is emerging odd news about the unspeakable horrors inflicted on children being tortured in our "death chambers" of Iraq, Cuba and Afghanistan. But the American people hardly blink.
