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.
