Originally posted by skyredoubt I agree with you. I find the state of this country to be alarming. 42,000 factories have been closed down in the last decade. We don't make anything anymore. States are continuing to lay off people to meet budgets. We are continuing to pay huge amounts for 2 foreign wars that we cannot afford. I'd feel better if there was some sanity in our government. But most republicans and too many democrats are working for K street lobbyists. Our national policy never makes much sense since its primarily designed to make various corporations happy.
Wake up Americans, join a party and ask the tough questions of your politicians. Demonstrate in the streets. etc.
In my part of the country, i don't see any new stores, just more closings. Few houses being sold. No jobs. people begging on off ramps. How is that an economic recovery?
