What time/space warp are you living in? The "avg American citizen" is too busy either trying to make a dollar buy his gas to go to work, or living off the largess of the Socialists. When 48% of Americans don't contribute to the national piggy bank, we are left with political policy as vote buying for their support.
You see nothing. As usual, you rise in support of the gum't. and ignore the looming crisis in our country. You're unseen because you belong to the left side of the argument most of the time, and they generally like to speak anonymously.

What happens when they can't print enough food stamps, and the trucks are idle because the "independent truckers" (which are most truckers) can't afford the fuel to deliver the goods. Safeway won't be very safe when the shelves are empty and the prices are beyond the ability to buy!
