Washington DC spends a whole year trying to push forced health insurance on the people while month after month people are losing their jobs and homes. What kind of dysfunction is that? What the hell is wrong with Washington?
In Florida we have counties that have an unemployment rates over 16% and we know those numbers are a lie. They are much higher and the way the government tries to hide the jobless rate is not fooling anyone except those that have a job in government. How long before we have a civil unrest problem in the streets? Every month people are laid off, return to their place of employment, and shoot up the place.
The people that do have a job are being mistreated and abused by management being forced to do the work of four people for less money. People are afraid of taking off a single day to go to a doctor in fear of being replaced. Management has become so hostile and the relationship between labor and management has not been this violable in decades.
People are losing their homes every day, yet Washington does nothing! The government needs to drop everything they are doing and put it on hold. This State of The Union Speech was just words. They need to start the biggest public works program in the history of the world. They need to cut corporate taxes to the bone and people’s income taxes and let this economy grow for God’s sake.
This is not rocket science. We know what works here and Obama does too. The president just wasted an entire year, while everyone was hitting the streets, by screwing around with forced health insurance. The whole thing was nuts, while the country was falling apart, all you wanted to do was force the whole country to buy health insurance! Every one of you bastards needs to be thrown out of office.
Right now we need to rebuild our infrastructure, start making things and start building refineries and nuclear power plants. Cut the damn taxes and lets get everyone back to work. Stop lying about a 10% unemployment rate and tell the true numbers that are in the twenties. Get up off your ass, do the people’s work and stick your damn ideology where the global warming sun don’t shine.
Work on Jobs creation Washington! Do it now! Don’t just talk about it but do what works for God’s sake. There are approximately one hundred and forty million workers in the United States. Thirty-five million of them are out of work. That is one in five.
Next year 1.5 million baby boomers hit retirement. It is the first year the boomers hit 65 and each year after it just explodes. There will not be enough workers to support any of this. What on Earth is going to happen to our country? Where are we headed with all of this? How do we escape the math? How do we dance between the numbers? Mr. President, next year the boomers start to retire, what are we going to do?

It is a planned collapse.
I agree with Wendy, this is so in your face. They are turning this into a third world country. People need to spread the word that this website speaks for us on so many things. The writer here is top notch. He should be in the times but as far as the bloggers go, I don’t know anyone who covers so many things like this guy.All you have to do is spend hours reading this site and you’ll know what I mean. My wife found this guy and we love him.
This article is good. I’m posting it on my facebook and sharing it with everyone.
Wanted to add something about government jobs.
Aren’t they supported by tax payers? Less tax revenues due to less people working means less money for government jobs and less money for government pensions.
And people on unemployment generally choose not to have money taken out of their meager unemployment cheques. Would you if your unemployment cheques were only a few hundred a week and your car payment alone is more than $300.00? Of course not.
Truth is, the people who still have jobs that they think are secure, like government jobs, they are putting this truth out of their minds; they think they are safe.
It is beyond my understanding how people cannot put one and one together and figure out the basic math.
Eventually, state/gov. jobs will also be affected. Here in California they will be laying off gov. employees if the unions do not comply with proposed pay cuts and so forth. The unions are living in a dream world as well.
I cannot figure out this disconnect from Reality. It’s amazing.
I find that Obama is the most do nothing president of my life. Carter even did more.
Next year when the Boomers start turning 65 will begin the complete destruction of this nation. We will collapse from the cost of this.
@jackinabox lol, I agree, I’d rather have Carter right now!
As for my last comment, I would like to share the latest news with you:
“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to save $1.6 billion in state employee costs by extending monthly furloughs past June, laying off staff or shifting general fund workers into state jobs financed by other revenues, according to sources familiar with the governor’s forthcoming budget proposal.”
Even government jobs are not safe anymore. My best guess is that the unions will protect government job payscale to the bitter end, so he will have no choice but to do lay offs.
C. Rich, how do we wake these people up? I know someone on facebook who has tried doing so and they don’t listen; at this point he thinks they deserve this to happen. That sounds harsh, but for example, today I tried talking to a family member and they shut me out screaming “if it’s about the economy, I don’t want to know!”
This is the typical reaction these days.
If I had the money, I would leave this this country before it comes apart.
Observer even Carter would have to say Obama has none nothing in his first year. I worry about what kind of country we are leaving behind for our kids.
Observer, I think more and more people are waking up. For me, I just do my part and just keep writing. My words float on the wind and where they land never stops amazing me.
