Today may be the saddest day of my life. Today is when I realized the lies they have told us about the function of Government. Our elected leaders are controlled by lobbyists, and only worry about how they "appear" to their voters. Today is when our economic policy demonstrated that the rich matter, and we're just the slaves to provide the money for their whims and schemes. We're just suckers for the rich to pluck.
One Congressman said "we will just have to learn to live within our means". Especially if the bailout results in the loss of your job. You will learn to live on nothing. If your job is connected to the Defense Department you will probably lose your job...I've already lost mine, and my husband is only 3 months away from the end of his contract. There are no more defense jobs.
The 800,000+ jobs lost so far this year aren't coming back! These jobs have been shipped overseas, and as long as our Government gives employers a tax break for it, this trend will grow. We'll all be willing to work for a lot less now so we can complete with the enforced child labor of a third world country. The American Dream died the second we woke up from this nightmare on Wall Street....and the worst is yet to come!
