Are there any construction workers left? Nothing has been decimated as badly as construction.
Everything has been decimated in the USA and I blame 40 years of corrupt Congresses and Presidents, of both Parties. They had one main job to do and they failed at it miserably. In summary it was to Protect and Defend the USA borders and our economy for future generations of Americans. It wasn’t that complicated and it shouldn’t have been about politics or favoring or punishing groups. Their job was never to make Wall St bankers or CEOs rich either at the expense of others, it was to defend the USA, and these fools we elected failed totally.
It is the American People that is corrupt. It elected these Congresses and Presidents. Ignorance is rampant and the choice of leaders reflects that general ignorance.
Nothing will change given that fact until the People change. Now it can be bought of by a bowl of pottage.
But it has pretty much always been that way yet, somehow we have survived. Of course, we are much more democratic now and many of the safeguards of federalism have been removed.
Given that overwhelming failure to be good citizens (know politics, take efforts to find the Truth, know our history and what our constitution says, demand moral leaders etc.) it amazes me that people believe we could have gotten a better candidate than Romney. It is a dream.
