So it's finally come to this: Our country has outsourced the jobs Americans need.
Our mortgage companies are foreclosing on our homes, and the government will reimburse them for their loss.
The government has declared our 4- to 5-year-old cars clunkers and offered the car industry another bailout in the incentive-to-buy program, which we are paying for. I wonder what the used-car lots are going to do with their inventory of clunkers.
You know the terrorists can't whip us face-on, but they are doing a darned good job helping us to eliminate the middle class by forcing us into a socialist government.
We are no longer a producer but a consumer nation, and this will destroy us eventually.
We don't even grow our own food anymore, and other nations haven't the same guidelines as we do when it comes to how food is produced.
We are the largest consumer of fossil fuel and are allowing foreign nations to control us by paying out the nose for it.
Cost of fuel affects all businesses large and small, and this has been the straw that broke a lot of backs in this meltdown.
Our elected representatives don't seem to have the slightest idea what we are going through. They vote themselves raises and have a separate retirement program that hasn't been abused and used for things other than what it was intended for.
Come on, Americans. We need the nation that once was and can be again. People have died trying to get here, and others have died to defend America. Let's not allow those sacrifices to be
