26. The engines are on fire.. we are losing altitude.. we are going down...
We need 30 Million jobs just to be at full employment.

Obama should have clawed his way into the cockpit.. climbed into the left-hand pilot's-seat and grabbed the controls. He could have pulled this mess-of-an-economy out of its death spiral.. but instead.. he chose to sit in the back and drink coffee with the flight attendants.

The hour is getting late... (not to be "too" cynical) .. but I think we may have passed the point of no return.

Employers are dumping health care at an alarming rate.. what few jobs that remain do not offer health care ... in any way ,shape or form.

Can you blame the employers? If big business smells blood in the water.. even though health care has not yet passed (officially), they are going to dump the liability, cash in and move on.

Obama has opened the chest cavity to do open heart surgery.. and now in the middle of the operation , he has decided to walk away and leave the patient helpless on the gurney.

NAFTA still cripples our country, outsourcing continues, the bankers are out of control and we are dumping billions of precious dollars every day in an un-winnable war in some hell hole in the mideast.

Secure your tray-tables, return your seat to the upright position, fasten your seat belts and hang on.. 'cause it ain't gonna be pretty....
