Most would rather complain about their victimhood than get a job or create a job. Let me ask this question, how many people of Asian extraction do you see on tv complaining about their lack of opportunity? Damn few if any. They have a strong work ethic and don’t sit around waiting for a job to come to them.
As far as gas prices go we are being trained to except the gradual increase as normal and saying there is nothing we can do about it. There are things you can do about gas prices if you just think about it for a few minutes. Not my job to tell how but I will give you a hint, 5 gallon cans, 55 gallon barrels and a hand pump, plan your shopping trips with multiple stops to minimize the distance. Buy low and use when it is high, have done it for some time and saved quite a few bucks. These things are just common sense, which seems uncommon these days. You may say you live in an apartment and have no storage to do this, so move. Adapt.
There are jobs out there folks may just have to put off the purchase of a new McHouse and Rolls for a little while.
When did we become such negative, whiny, complaining people? Our forefathers would be ashamed of us.

Obamacare’s Chickens have come home to roost!

It will only get worse. Things are going south because all those suckas now have to pay their monthly premiums...

Give em a few months to visit the Doc or ER and soon after discover they have this little thing called Co-Pay and Deductable and they are broke from paying the monthly premium.

Then the Economy does the nosedive.

And from the release on FoxBiz: "Claims for the week ended April 19 were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported."

Next week it'll be May Day, then the lull before Memorial Day, then Memorial Day, then the upcoming start of Summer, then July 4th . . . . . . . .

Obammy’s federal gub mint is just like obammy. Full of lies.
Unepected? Horse crap.
Growth rate of .1? Crappola.
In a few weeks like always with obammys gubmint the figures always are inflated trying to make this worthless f-er look better than bottom sucking.

I suggest everyone else do the same! STARVE THE BEAST!

Considering that the Beast looks at productive Americans and sees a meal, starving the Beast is the only strategy consistent with self-preservation.

Unexpected?

The most used word of the Obama Administration

ABC Radio News outdid themselves this morning.

They reported good economic news - consumer confidence is up! Global consumer confidence that is, not among US consumers.

I am so full of disgust for these propagandists for the state its really unhealthy.

A Labor Department official said claims tend to be more volatile around Easter.

Come on, you skeptics.

This happens every year when the professional hard-boiled egg painters are laid off. Americans used to know this stuff - geez.

I saw that. I was glad O’Reilly brought up the reporter who was TOLD to stop covering unfavourable Obama stories. O’Reilly was ticked with the one guy who SHOULD have stated the obvious. Kurtz, I think. You’d expect as much from Leslie Marshall.

Kurtz tries to comes across as non-partisan but he’s a leftie at heart. No question about that.
