One could go crazy watching CNN and MSNBC...but you know, this has been coming for a long time.....instead it seems many of our citizens prefer to bury their heads in more pressing social issues such as Dancing with the Stars or the latest starlet's drama.

It will take a great deal to turn this country around, and if people work at anything they should consider that we need universal health care and solvent social security, both which mean taxing the people who can afford to pay it the most, all those new 'millionaires' out there, and all those corporations who are making a killing at our expense.

Trickle down theories are just that....a trickle. A trickle isn't enough to keep people who need help alive. Even a 30 year work record won't keep you employed or preserve your benefits anymore. Corporations are ruthless, and those employed by them are cogs in a wheel, and have little choice but to hold the corporate line....or they are out too.

I am not sure how many of those people sleep at night, but surely their heat is turned up higher than mine, and likely their home is a lot bigger....(the only saving grace is maybe their neighbor will get foreclosed on and some 'undesireable' will move next door. Of course, they will cry, that is 'so unfair!")
