I made the assumption, erroneously clearly, since you seemed so upset
about the situation. Don't get me wrong. I'm upset too. The rate of
unemployment is still way to high, but it's moving in the right direction,
which is a good thing. My reading is that it'll turn around in mid-2010.

I'm not upset about the situation. I'm really ****ed off. All these
Washington, Wall Street, and corporate types making millions by raping the
common people, and doing it with disdain and disrespect. $90 million to
someone who crashed Freddie and Fannie. Plus all the tens of millions to
their cohorts. And lot of people left holding devalued real estate, or
worse, losing their houses. But not Barney Frank who once operated a male
prostitute ring out of his Washington house.

We need to do something, and capitalistic, not socialistic. The only bright
spot on the horizon is for there to be some form of Congressional
housekeeping in 2010, but that would take a year to really trickle down.
And by then, if Obama gets this package passed, we will be in over our
heads.

If he would only work on jobs programs with the earnest he spends on the
healthcare issue. If we have employed people, they will either get health
care, or be able to afford to purchase it. The only reason we would need
federal health care is if everyone is unemployed, and screaming for it. But
then, they will be limited to what they get, getting only gruel when they
think they will be getting balanced meals. Yet, the people who administer
the program will be cruising along in their $80k a year jobs, with a
SEPARATE Platinum Health Plan that will cover everything associated with the
human body including addadicktome operations. For, after all, they are
above the common commoner.
