Few want to face reality. I listened and voted for him. For everyone that didn't vote for him; how are you doing today? Have you lost your home yet?
Fools; nothing but a bunch of fools!
I didn't vote for him, although that doesn't mean he was wrong. I am doing just fine today. No, I haven't lost my home and will not lose it in the future, as it is paid off. I never came close to losing it either. In case you didn't know, it is not "normal" to have lost one's home. Most people have not lost their homes. And no, I am not rich, not even well-to-do. I have always earned about the median income in the United States, or in some years very slightly more, so I am solidly in the middle of the middle class, not even remotely part of the upper middle class. There is such a thing as living within one's means and having the common sense not to buy a house at insanely inflated prices.
Yes, there is such a thing as living within one's means. However, many people having common sense, had conventional mortgages (some that were even almost paid off) on modest houses they could well afford. Then they lost their jobs, their Health Insurance, and were only able to find a replacement job with much less income and no benefits at all. Add that to a family member becoming seriously ill. There goes the savings, Retirement Funds, home, etc. Then there are the seemingly smug people who believed they could not lose their home since it was paid off. They have been saddened to learn that through Imminent Domain they were forced to sell their property to the State for a paltry sum.
Yup, I've never forgotten about Perot and his charts showing government growing like a cancer. And here we are today, Stockton California about to declare bankruptcy in order to get the piblic-sector union claws out of their necks. We didn't heed his warning, him and his funny ears and homely appearance.
You could fill a book with the people who have warned us about what was happening and what was going to happen going all the way back to the forefathers.
The problem is that people lack the education to understand what they are talking about. That is why the government is so adamant about keeping education under their control. So long as we keep the people stupid, then they are easily manipulated and controlled.
Ross Perot told us what was going to happen to our jobs. Franklin Roosevelt warned us of the dangers of Public Unions.
Thomas Jefferson warned us of the dangers of a Central Bank. Senator Charles Lindbergh and Congressman McFadden warned us about the Federal Reserve. Dwight Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex. We ignored all of them and they all were right.
We are now peasants and wage slaves in a country where we were once free and prosperous. The real absurdity though is most of us are too stupid to even know it.

Speak for yourself. It sucks your situation is so terrible but I'm neither peasant nor wage slave.
