I have tried to put Party sides to the side since this election and get as much information I could in order to see who benefits myself the most.

you'll find it's easier and more fun to just blame both sides... and you get the benefit of being able to telling everyone 'I told you so"... 👍

The Government strategy is simple, destroy the middle class & make everyone dependent on public assistance. That way those benevolent control freaks can dole it out as needed from their country estates.😍

Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Communist, Socialist, Green, Purple, Yo mama... YAY! They're all so good. And their speechies are so moving & motivating! YAY YAY!

What OBAMA has done in 6 years has no comparison on what the older generation could have prevented in the last 40....

I also BLAME the GOP for not putting a better presidential candidate in front of us.

I'd settle for a mandatory conscription paid for by host countries- a mercenary TEAM AMERICA WORLD POLICE that fights for Truth, Justice, and the American Way!!

Put down your laptops, iphones, Xboxes, kindles (oh wait you don't read much) and thank you in advance, young Americans, for your service to the WORLD!!

Don't worry about it now. We could vote for "Mr./Mrs. Perfect" now and it would still be too late IMHO. We're too far down that road...
Just work hard, love family, & keep the faith.

Exactly right. This nation is so far in debt, there's no recovery possible without taking drastic steps. And neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are willing to do anything but make speeches blaming one another, previous administrations, the wealthy, the poor, and the boogey man.

Look at the financial hole we are in so far. Total US unfunded liabilities are $123,939,000,000,000 and change.

Then, like a hand grenade with the pin pulled, there's the complex and totally unregulated derivatives market floating around the world's financial markets. There's something like $12 quadrillion funny money dollars in notational value there, with $12 trillion dollars in cash value waiting to go up in smoke.

In addition to work hard, love family, and keep the faith...you might want to also keep your powder dry.

Thought this was so beautifully stated by Dad that it needed repeating.

See, most Government workers are insulated from reality due to inflated wages and bennies. They think its just a bump in the road that barely affects them.
That's what the huge (33%+), entitled bureaucratic class in Greece thought until their wages/pensions were cut by half and riffs began!:-({|=

you sure are one myopic summich 😛

I guess I would be too given your circumstance.


But you are correct. Once someone accepts a job in the government its as if their decades of working in the private sector disappear.... poof.... government contractors on the otherhand.... that's another issue.

You know, TW, I average at least half a dozen calls from industry service providers & suppliers every day. Each one is usually sadder than the next. The canary has died. Call me Jack Elam all you want but when the chain of production from manufacturing to distribution is affected, it will eventually affect ALL- even the privileged.

We pay your salary. Will you accept IOU's for a hamburger next Tuesday?

"Government" as the largest sector in the economy is only viewed as sustainable by those in the government and only as long as the debt caused by it can be funded.
