"You think this article is helpful? You think someone who is unemployed and about to lose his home to foreclosure will become convinced by something like this to vote Republican?"
This article may or may not be helpful to someone who has suffered the problems you mention. That's not the point. The point is too many people in this country actually believe the president and employers OWE them security, happiness, huge salaries, etc. It's too bad someone has lost his job and is about to lose his home...I would, however, like to know the details about how the whole thing transpired. Was he living beyond his means, like the majority of Americans now? Was he trying to "have it all" right now rather than doing without a few things...and saving (gasp?) a few extra dollars...just in case?
With the exception of a catastrophic illness or accident, I don't think any of us has anyone to blame except ourselves for our financial misfortunes. Just my opinion, which counts for nada.

That's not the point.It could be the point at election time --- Carville said "It's the economy stupid", Clinton gets elected. The republicans say "Screw Americans --- they don't need jobs, corporation profits is the only thing that matters" and who is going to get elected?
