3 million cut off just about election time? Looks like an October surprise to me.

...my gut tells me that some really bad things are going to happen to this country...I’m talking about people taking to the streets...and I don’t think that I’m alone in this thinking.

[Niuhuru]

It’s had to happen for a long time now.

I agree with you, I think it’s going to get mighty ugly out there, looooonnnnnnnngggggg, hot summer and people have a lot of time on their hands no jobs and no money, it’s not going to be pretty.

"If people lose their benefits they will blame the congressional majority and the administration," he said. "As unappetizing as it is, that would appear to be the strategy."

Those of us who work can't support the Takers in society forever, bub.
They can go get a job - ANY JOB.

Best to be prepared a civil war of one kind or another is being laid out by the leftist on many fronts and it’s just a matter of time before someone strikes the match that sets the whole thing off.

"If people lose their benefits they will blame the congressional majority and the administration," he said. "As unappetizing as it is, that would appear to be the strategy."

You mean the government might actually be forced to do something about the economy, instead of just keep putting it off by extending benefits and keeping the wolves at bay?

...yep....and I think this has got to be a factor in the surge in the gold/silver/ammo markets....people are making preparations.

I drove by a recycling center the other day two women were fighting over a trash bag filled with cans

[grobdriver]

people have a lot of time on their hands no jobs and no money

Sounds like the Middle East...

[elpinta]

Seems to be the plan, me thinks.

[tatsinfla]

our local aldi’s is hiring at 10.00 hr...i bet some of these people would take that job....

[Eagles6]

No you are not alone.

[Kickass Conservative]

The Rats are already blaming the Party of NO Republicans.

Can't use any of the “Stimulus” Bribe money like the Republicans wanted, but you'll never see that in the Media.

I theorized that if McCain had won, we would be moving right, but in a more eased manner. With Zero, it’s coming along more violently because of his antics and America is reacting in a more drastic manner than if McCain had won.

[Jeff Chandler]

Bush's Fault™

[himno hero]

...stimulus green shoots abound!!!

Martial law in October?

[verity]

""I just hope I'm wrong."

Hope is not a plan.

Didn’t the admin today say that 3 million jobs have been “saved or created” by the stimulus? Will they simply point to 3 million fewer people on unemployment?

[STONEWALLS]

...yes, I think so...and there’s a feeling about Obama that he’s really not one of us...he’s from an overseas culture...he doesn’t understand....he doesn’t know how to fix America....this leads to heightened anxiety, and as you say things are moving along more violently.
