This might sound dry.

We finally hit 12,000. Horaw!!! Oh, wait, we were approaching 12,000 in the year 2000.... in reality we have made negative progress. The Republicans are so pathetic that they are boasting negative progress.

I don;t care so much that we are not making financial headway as a country. Money doesn't mean much to me. But when a large portion of our people are being fooled, then something is seriously wrong.

We have no make adjustments for what is obviously a 6 year downturn. We can't go on believing that everything is going great. We have to take care of those who are suffering, those who can't afford the doctor, education, utilities, food, and housing all at once. We can't go on blaming people for what is a nation wide economic downturn.

It is not about money, it is about working together and supporting one another, and especially not letting the rich take way the profits of the many. Republicans are afraid of the rich, as if they will leave if we don;t appease them. Well let them leave... this is America and you have to understand what that means if you want to stay.
