Sad to think that America is becoming a third world country due to our deteriorating economy.

No it happened because our economy was looted over the past decade

And we let it happen. We waved goodbye as industries left our shores.
The think tanks said..good riddance because better jobs will come our way.
And America believed them.

Now even the better jobs are gone. But the think tanks say good riddance because "green" jobs will come our way only no one can define what a green job is

We did it to ourselves. We kept re-electing the same crooked politicians over and over and over.

It has a much to do with the fact that people were put into homes they could not possibly afford. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Charlie Rangel need to admit responsibility for their part in the demise of the financial stability of America.

How very hippy of you but how very wrong of you to gloss over the crimes of elected officials.

This is the first entirely true post I have seen on this board in a while.

By the way, you are not "rich" if you make $250,000 a year. Upper class, yes. Rich, no.
We are going to be hit from every which way. We will all be paying and it will hurt. Welcome to Hope and Change, the Obama way.

Don't worry Obama says UHC will create the jobs now.
