There is no Republican hero, Democratic goat dichotomy here. Both sides are just as corrupt, just as worthless, and just as unable and unwilling to do what is really required to right the ship of state. Anyone who believes that the ruling elite gives a damn about the regular Joe Schmoes out there is just fooling himself.
“We are living like the Waltons—with TV sets rather than radio.”
I frequently travel in third world countries on business. In these countries the middle class lifestyle is having electricity and running water plus a television in one’s home. The floor of the home may be dirt and the walls of the home may be tin or plywood. The television distinguishes the middle class from the poor.
These nations are also characterized by a small wealthy elite ruling over the masses who at best are able to save up to purchase the television. This is the vision of equality Obama, Shumer, Pelosi, Reid, and George Soros have for America. You are there, it will be here for the rest of us soon.
This can't be blamed solely on the economic mess created by 0bama. Far too many people have been using credit, and especially credit cards, the wrong way for quite some time now.
“Anyone who believes that the ruling elite gives a damn about the regular Joe Schmoes out there is just fooling himself.”
The members of the ruling elite have either take steps to escape when the collapse comes or are hoping the day of reckoning will come after they have passed on. Most are fiddling now while Rome burns believing they are helpless to avoid the cold desolation when the fire ebbs and the embers cool.
We have two kinds of leaders today — those who are knowingly accelerating the decline (Obama, Soros, Pelosi, Reid, Shumer, Cass Sunstein) and the bystanders who enable the destruction by failing to act (Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham and the rest of the GOP establishment).
Economy is in the toilet, three wars at the same time, lost trust world wide, more debt than the rest of the world.
Soooooo,
Let’s re-elect the “magic negro”???
My worst tax return ever. Even my most liberal friends are pissed about their taxes this year. My message to them: it will only get worse.
“No more going out to eat, no more movies, no more booze, just work, sleep and pay bills.”
I feel for you; that is really a shame. I hope things turn around for you and millions of others; I’m still working and in my home, but the work is more & more hours without increased pay. We’ve also given up a lot of those things, and I can’t believe how empty the parking lots are at restaurants where we used to wait 1/2 hour just to be seated. I know a lot of those places have cut staff back quite a bit, which then exacerbates the problem further.
What happened to all the people who work in the sectors where we used to spend money?
Again, best of luck in turning things around.

I thought things were crappy with my family situation at the moment, but based on those stats, I am just an average American.
Hope and Change! Fundamentally Transformed!
FUBO
Obama&Co. own D.C. what did you expect?.
Bfl.
I despise people who put their feet on someone elses furniture.
WE ARE NOT DOOMED!!!!! This is nothing more than carter II....we went through this in the late ‘70’s, and we survived.....as the outlaw josie wales said, “ When it gets bad, and it looks like you are not gonna make it, then ya gotta get mean. I mean plum mad dog mean. Cuz if ya don’t, then ya don’t live, and ya don’t win”......thin the herd, get the hell rid of the so called republicans and throw the hippies out with the bathwater...the first step is get rid of the hippies...
“Even my most liberal friends are pissed about their taxes..”
Just wondering... do they blame Bush or do they understand that their “messiah” is a fraud?
They won’t dare say who they blame. They know it isn’t Bush!
“They know it isn’t Bush...”
Perhaps, just perhaps, some of the liberals are waking up and smelling the coffee.
