If you think you can do it, you're right. If you think you can't, you're right too.
You're missing the point. This is represents the results of liberal policies and liberal brainwashing.

More importantly, it wouldn't matter if you are black or white. It would have the same results. It's ashamed because there are probably good people who would have had half the chance if they weren't taught to hate and expect others to give them everything.

I understand that...... but liberal policies affect those the most who accept them and buy into them. It's clear where this happens the most but as I stated before any attempt at identifying it is just going to turn into a mud slinging contest where conservatives are going to be blamed for the problem.

It's usually the accuser who is to blame. Anyway to your point so no one should speak out and let liberalism run wild. In other words "silence" to a different way of viewing the world. Just like the liberal media running wild... their goal is to SILENCE trump.

I don't know why people think that government can solve their problems. Being that I was in the lower middle class I realized that government wasn't going to do **** for me and I had to do it myself.

I don't expect the government to do anything other than create problems. They have no solutions.


People can speak out. It happens almost every second of every day. But as long as you have people too blind to see what liberalism is doing to them there is nothing we can do. My point was that any attempt at addressing the problem seems to be met with criticism so eventually there comes a time where you just have to let folks figure it out for themselves.

Yes and pray they don't take us down with the ship. The problem is, that is exactly what they are doing.

There is a VERY GOOD reason that many Americans do not want to live around certain "Peeps".
To be fair; a middle class Black dude and a middle class white dude are pretty much the "same culture" which does overrule "diversity".

Double digits with a decimal point. Like .96. From there I guess rounding up to a whole is OK. So, 1.

I don't have a mortgage. So I can't be 5+ years behind on mortgage payments so that the statute of limitations expires and I get a free home like tens of thousands of OTHER Americans, when I don't even have a mortgage.

If you are against this, great, so am I. I've argued it for years. The problem is, I lost. All of that was done. The government created billions for the banks and relieved them of billions more in bad debt and placed it all on the back of the taxpayers.

Bad program or not, why shouldn't others also benefit from this money? Those with have no desire to release their hands from any of it. In theory the government/fed is suppose to raise rates thereby in theory taking this money back. It seems it may be years and years before they do this. When it was tried the markets threw a fit and the politicians crapped their pants

Easy money.....it's right there in it's name......Quantitative Easeing.
Others already HAVE benefited. As I've already posted, $2 Trillion (MUCH more than the banks got) in QE was created to bail out high-risk mortgage borrowers who never should have been given a loan in the first place. Tens of thousands of them will get their homes for free as they're 5+ years behind on their mortgage payments and the statute of limitations on foreclosure has/will expire.

Likewise, our country spends $1 Trillion each year in means-tested welfare programs to bail out those who are capable of but won't/don't support themselves and their dependents.

You're whining about billions to bail out banks, almost all of which was paid back, while TRILLIONS are being spent on noncontributing deadbeats and all of that expense is placed on the backs of the taxpayers.
