Not to change the subject, but we really really need to bring back jobs to America.

Just saying. Buy American.

Just saying. Buy American

I don't disagree with you that "America" [United States] needs jobs, but what exactly do you mean by "buy American?"

Is a Toyota Camry built in Tennessee or Indiana, where the companies hire and pay American employees, and pay taxes--is that "buying American?"

Or, would you recommend buying a Ford or Chevy, built by foreign employees, using parts manufactured in Mexico, but carries an American logo--is that considered "buying American?"

I know what your point is--you want us to buy products made in America, built by Americans. The truth is, sometimes this is impossible. And even products that "look" American; i.e., carry an American logo, are not necessarily as "American" as you think they are.

This year was worse than last year, culturally and financially speaking regarding the US. The next three years are going to be horrendous, each worse than the one before it.

You can pretty much bank on that. I honestly don’t know if the country will survive Obama in any form remotely similar to the form it was in back in 2008.

How about “work American”

instead of waiting for someone to “bring back jobs”, go make your own job

This is the end result of 50 years of treasonous politicians scheming how to make money for the banksters instead of protecting our nation. They gave away our national security, our economy and our tax base.. They gave China and multinational (meaning multiple loyalties) corporations free access to our markets so the casino owners and financiers could profit.. If not for these corrupt scumbags the Chinese would still be riding bicycles, have no navy or carriers ,not going to the moon, and Not driving Ferraris and not hold trillions in our debt.

The most important principles of conservatism are national Sovereignty, defense of citizens and nation, constitution, and our national borders, these pols gave away. Conservatives will live to rue the day we allowed this to happen.
