[link to www.journalnow.com] It's really a matter of perspective. To a liberal, it looks like the sky is falling - because people are actually working for what they earn, instead of collecting something for nothing. I would wager that this will continue, at least until some liberal does something else to screw it up. "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 Truth needs no validation because it is self-evident and undeniable. Therefore, anything that requires validation to be realized or justified as truth must contain at least some degree of falsehood. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

Other things that can be changed to jump start our economy is eliminating/reducing federal regulations, reducing government spending at the federal level, reducing taxes on businesses/individuals, reducing the national spending deficit, reducing the national debt, opening up public lands for fossil fuel extraction, and get rid of the “Patient Protect and Affordable Care Act.” These are just a few examples that are having major impacts on our national economy. It is time to put our citizens back to work rather than creating citizenry that becomes further dependent on the government as their means of support and for their existence as poorer member of the society within the United States of America.

Quoting: wattsun We are all fucked. I am pretty Active in writing about issues and here some of my feedback. I have written (R)McCroy several times about legalization of Hemp and Dangers of Fracking ... crickets no response. Burr is POSER of a conservative. He did at least send back a form response even though it had nothing to with the issue I was writing about. He sent me back a letter congratulating me for my military service when I had written to him about preserving gun rights. As bad as it bothers me to admit it (D)Kay Hagans people have responded every time. Even though through form they have answered with the correct issue. (R) Walter Jones is pretty active on FB and you can voice to him through there. (R)Renee Elmers FB folks deleted a legitimate question I had about legalization of Hemp in NC. though he did not win (L) Mike Beitler will respond on his FB Unelected(L)Greg Brannon is pretty responsive too. (R) Rayne Brown the lady that thought that her most important duty when she was elected was to Outlaw an annual topless rally in Asheville, one that was already approved by Asheville City Council. One of her flunkys and I had a nice email debate for a couple days. Wish I could still find them lol. Both Parties are corrupt to the core and until we understand that and make provisions to elect people that REALLY represent the populace things will continue to deteriorate. |

We have seen a definite uptick in people looking for a job. We pay on average twice the minimum wage for semi-skilled workers.
