Everything you said is true.The worst thing is the last 8 years we've had an absolute MORON running this country right into the ground.Heck a Monkey could have done a better job.And then we bail out WALL STREET !!
How ludicris is that? Do you see any of those guys in jail awaiting trial? I mean their should be 200 to 500 people awaiting trial.If you and I did anything like that you can bet we'd be in prison.
Even now when people are working 2 jobs living week to week trying to stay alive.We have Jennifer Granholm
pass a bill to raise utilities 25% .What the heck is that bad judgement call.People can barely afford to heat their homes now.Thanks Gov !!!!!
And the price of cars,who can afford one?My car has 320,000 and I surely can't afford one working part time.I'd like to see a car company make a new car with
a payment of $60.00 a month how about you America?
Everyone should pull up stakes and move south.I guess if your gonna be poor you might as well be warm.

I agree for the most part Dave but, I think you missed some very important issues. #1 we need to invest by purchasing products that are from the U.S. made by U.S. workers. We are selling our own selves out by trying to save an extra dime or two or maybe even a dollar or two but, the big picture is that it will ultimatley fail if we don't get people making/manufacturing the very products we buy. With internet research anyone can buy almost anything that was made by an American worker. I just bought a entertainment/media center for my house as a family Christmas gift and, I asked the retailer to only show me units that are made in the USA. He did and we bought one. It is beautiful and was solid oak made by an American worker out of American oak. Made with perfect craftmanship with real nails, not staples and glue. A little red white and blue tag hanging on a string from a handle said "made in the U.S.A" SOLD!! It makes me proud to own it every time I look at it. It cost me about $23 more than another one I liked and looked but, was made in china or vietnam or something. We get caught up in trying to save a dime without really looking at the outcome of our purchase. I realize times are hard and people need to save but saving $23 is costing our jobs and childrens jobs in the long run. Research it and you will see that the marking "Made in China" does not actually mean that very product was actually made in china look at New Balance shoes for instance made in the U.S.A. by U.S. manufacturing workers FTC laws make it difficult for New Balance to Use the "Made in USA" logo on the tounge of the shoe because they use imported materials to make the shoe. Their website has complete information on how this wording law works www.newbalance.com I buy only New balance shoes. Not to mention they really are the most comfortable shoe with wide sizes to boot! They are A shoe manufacturer that has not bailed on the American worker like the rest have. Why not, buy new balance shoes nobody can possibly have an argument. I could go on with much more but I'm sure you understand. BUY AMERICAN! Thanks
