USA at Bottom of CIA's List of Economics Performance - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

This is unbelievably sad. Look at what our politicians have done to the country!!! Why do we allow all the special interest groups to influence politicians to the point that our economy has been absolutely gutted? Real unemployment is at around 16-20%. Illegals have overrun the country and suck what little resources we have left - demanding welfare service, education, housing, taking jobs from Americans. Taxes fund projects and groups that work to destroy the country. We still send billion$ to other countries - many of which support terrorists. We have senators, congressmen, staffers/department heads, even Supreme Court justices that hate America's history and want to knock us down.

Well, it has worked. While a country slept, then woke up with its collective hand out (99 weeks of unemployment, subsidies, food stamps, free health care, yadda, yadda, yadda), we have just about been destroyed. Change it in 2012! I don't care which party you support, vote out the America haters.
