[quote=floridasandy;21929865]i think we are beat up and discouraged because we have squids running the country, looting it.

i don't care how much manufacturing you do-minimum wage in our state is $7.31 (florida). how many hours of productivity were stolen with the bailouts? how can you just lose billions of dollars in iraq? where is the accountability? how much productivity do you need to make that up? what about all that money that isn't going to be repaid at all from TARP and the bailouts? i think we can all drive around and see all the empty businesses to get a sign of what is coming with the commercial sector.

i think the only candidate who is even addressing what the government and the federal reserve have done (and continue to do with now the european bailouts) is ron paul.

americans are losing the dream of home ownership and jobs for life, as they scramble from one job to another. those of us who own homes better think about those who are losing theirs, because the fabric of our society is all tied together. now the government tells us it is good to "rent" because they are taking over the homes, and i can't begin to tell you how much fraud there is in the real estate market now.

that is another disgrace and there is nobody stopping it, and nobody even investigating it.





Agree 200 % with you on this. I saw it coming in S. Florida 2001. Ops managers at banks and we were instructed to run a sweatshop as much as possible, and to circumvent ANY labor law.

This is not the America my father fought in the war for. Its circling the drain. Now most towns /cities "infrastructure" is cheap retail and "big box" malls...Americans refuse to see what is coming down the pipeline. Its sad really.

MSM continues to try to "dumb down" the populace. once people wake up and truly see what is happening, hopefully they will vote accordingly.
