This "people take care of me" mentality has been sneaking in the last few years and gotten very prevalent the last about 5 years..wonder why? Stop believing the lies that this Administration is telling you..you can take care of yourself. The government is not your daddy and you can't count on them or anyone else. The only person you can count on is you. [/quote] I have friends/relatives WITH college degrees that have lost their jobs-it all wnet to hell with that Bush bailout, where we gave million $ bonuses to bankers. [/quote] And it is only getting worse under Obama. Unemployment is actually worse than when Obama took office. The single month before the election, oddly, it went above the rate it was when he was elected the first time..how odd it did that, amid many questionable unemployment figures that just happened to not get reported that one month. Since Obama has taken office, he has accrued 1/3 of the entire debt for our country, that is just over 200 years old, in less than 4 years. One third of our debt for the entire time we have been a country, in just under 4 years, that is shocking. Not only that, under Obama's Administration our debt to GDP has gone up to 105%, it has never been that high and that is probably a much worse indicator of our economy than this massive debt that will never be paid off. Food prices have gone up like crazy since he has taken office. The other day I bought this bag of lettuce that I buy all the time. This last time, it had gone up $.50 which doesn't seem like a lot, but it was a $.50 raise in price on a product that was $1.30 before. That is a huge, huge increase. Everything is going up like that, the price of food is getting outrageous. I stopped and picked up stuff for hotdogs and chips for dinner the other night. It cost me $20 for hotdogs and potato chips. That is absurd. Bush can only be blamed for so long and that time is long, long passed. Like I said a bit ago, if Obama couldn't get a lot of things done his first two years when he had both a majority House and majority Senate, then there was no hope ever with only a majority Senate.

Is he trying to run us out of business!!! If you raise one side the other would even out with it!!! The money comes from the people that buy the product and the price just rose by $1 cause of the minimum wage raise!! He does not get it!!
