why is our government selling off America?

No one is selling our ports.  This is merely about a contract with a port operations company to continue with day to day port operations.  Security will continue to done by U.S. officials.

Help?? lol of course! they are helping themselves...  America (the government) is the greatest terrorist, Hypocrite, atheist in the world from the beginning of it's existence (may be along with Britain.)\nThe people of America however are just sleep, that's all, Lot's of good people! Not realizing what evil is their government capable of!

It's because our government is run by greedy politicians who sell us out to the highest bidder. A dictatorship would end this corruption.

America is selling a lot of things. Not just lesbianism.

I agree! It seems as though things in our government have gotten out of hand. I don't know if it would take a good president or the united states keeping our noses to ourselves. Its like we are trying to fix the world and we can't even fix ourselves. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks our America is in need of dire help. Good job for speaking out.

Because they want all the goodies the US has to offer, but they want to be loyal to their own country that gives them nothing.\n\nit's just like Puerto Rico not wanting to become a state because they like being able to suck on our resources (example - welfare) but they don't want to have to give anything (example - pay taxes) back.

Present America is like pre WWII Germany!\nYou just see they want any others to prosper. Because of their ongoing fookish decisions, whole world is suffering (e.g. hike in petrol price to $72/barrell!!! Is it not fact?)\n\nAmericans are enjoying their lavish life at the cost of world.\n\nThose who think otherwise, should re-assess their veiws & may modify their comments.

because we the americans have an attention span this --------- long. as long as we vote like we do....we need to throw out all the lifetime goverment babies and start new. As long as we continue to drive like we do and pay ....its not going to change... we need to stick together as one {which will never happen, and they know it} we cant even stick together, with out the communist ACLU breaking us apart...as for the price gouging that is supposedly going on every week......how does the price of gas jump up 10-15 cents on the weekends. To say its the right of the company is b__sh__. its price gouging when you buy a piece of lumber in the northern state and sell it after hurricane down south for a profit. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

Because America is not interested in democracy. It wants to transfer tax payers money to republican contributing companies, which happen to sell weapons used in WARS

Good questions.  I think American just want to complain and blame it on someone else instead of their own greediness.  Just like blaming President Bush for 9-11. If he would have stepped up national security there would have been someone complaining about the money spent. Never happy. NOBODY could do anything right.

Tax money isn't being spent, it's being pi$$ed away. How many hundred of billions of the money we pay into the US government are being thrown away in a country that, before we attacked it, had little or nothing to do with America or it's security? How are the 80 billion dollars in tax breaks to the oil companies going to help the average American? How is the 3-5 billion dollars we give to Israel every year (Israel, by the way, is the 6th richest country in the world) helping the average American? Taxation is equal to theft - the taking of money and property by force. While I have no problem with the US helping it's own and humanitarian aid to other countries, and gladly give my tax dollars, the fact that the government can't even work out a budget that is anywhere near balanced is despicable.

There is still quite a difference between our two countries, and I'd say vive le difference.  Of course, our good institutions like medicare are being undermined by corporate U.S., and I'm sad to say we have lots of traitors in our government who set their policies in tune with U.S. government.  We lost a lot of our sovereignty when a former conservative PM integrated us a lot into the American economy, and the present conservative government is continuing this path.  For example, we are now becoming associated with deservedly hated American foreign policy and losing our reputation of being fair and peace keepers.

Because it controls monetary policy and supply of currency in our country.  It is an integral part of our democracy and it would be a really bad idea to get rid of it.  And as far as I know, there has been no discussion about getting rid of it anyway...

Does the US government sell the majority of jets and military hardware or do US businesses?  Yes, the Navy will sell an old ship to a foreign government, but Israel's F-16 were sold by a company with the permission of the US government.\n\nIf you want to use that as a commodity to pay all state expenses, you will tax the heck out of that company.  The government is not profiting directly from these sales.

because our govenment is cruel and ferocious.  and also, our government likes to terrorize other countries.  but dont worry.  we americans are not like that, only our government, like many other governments.
