I guess americans still want and expect free money, government bail-outs, and entitlements. That was the change they wanted - more free money, bail-outs, and entitlements.
Oh well, make your votes knows in the congressional elections in 2 years and hope that in 4 years a REAL (not one liberal and one RINO) fiscally conservative candidate for once appears on the ballots.
"The walk-out has affected transport, education and postal services throughout the country, our correspondent says, and is the biggest one-day strike since [President Nicolas] Sarkozy took up office.
With unemployment looking likely to reach 10% next year, she says, the protesters hope he will drop his programme of cost-cutting reforms and focus instead on protecting workers' jobs and wages."
What drives me crazy is that we don't have any formal protests, just complaining. As a boy growing up in the 60's, we marched for any reason, good or bad. People just seem to sit back and take it today.
I would love to see those 5 million unemployed marching on capitol hill.
"Lenders are getting money at 0% and charging 5 to 6%."
That just seems unfair to me because that is "our" money we are being charged interest on!
But they are too big to fail while we are not.
They have bailouts while we have unemployment, food stamps and welfare.
When the money runs out we will replenish the coffers via taxes.
He who owns the money makes the rules. It's becoming more obvious to people now although some people saw this long, long ago and were ridiculed for it.

Like with the war, huge discontent but little showing in the street. I think the presence of the net, where you can blog or post or share your feelings through youtube has given people a different way of expressing themselves.
Things get dicey believe that people will get a lot more proactive
Obama is getting ready to feed the company huge contracts while at the same time giving the average woeker like $20.00 less payrol;ll deduction. Then hios plan is to creat alot of tempoary jobs that will take effect in 2010 mostly and reduce unemploymjent a estiamted 1-11/2 percent. By that time either the recession wioll be ending or the unemployemnt will be 12% and worse than now even with the stimulus.Mean wile the arts and other special interest groups will be doing fine with their stimulus payoff.
difference being if we all just stopped...that would stop their income and 'freeze' their assets.
Force them to the table.
Just an idealistic thought that passed my way..lol
Prescription for a real depression. Nothing says economic recovery less than a complete lack of productivity and people with no income.
