Too bad the fed hasn't had any help.
Who was it that stopped drilling for oil when the oil jobs were " shovel ready"? Not the GOP.

One hundred million abled bodied Americans are not working.
Most have I-phones , cars, food stamps etc etc etc.
Welfare has become an accepted "LIFESTYLE" that the working people pay for.
Went to a local Social Security office yesterday ----It was packed with people in their twenties and thirties---many with attorneys representing them filing for "disability social security"
What a scam !! 90 percent of the people there under 50 years old ????
Collect welfare
Live in subsidized housing
Get free cell phones
Food stamps
Collect disability Social Security.

We should stop calling them all 'entitlements'.
Get it straight: Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC......ad nauseum are not entitlements.
They are taxpayer-funded handouts,and shouldn't be called entitlements at all.
Social Security and Veteran's Benefits are entitlements because the people receiving them are 'entitled' to them. They were earned and paid for by the recipients.

Eisenhower was the last President to see a measurable decline in the national debt in real dollars. And it wasn't a staggering amount either.
JFK, LBJ, Nixon saw a rather flatline in the debt while Carter began to scale upwards. Under Reagan it doubled and continued an upward course until the latter part of Clinton's term when it nosed over and started to flatline.
With Bush 2 it began to scaled up and continues (even now) it's current doubling every Presidency. Seems to me blaming one over the other misses the real point and culprit but that's another thread.
That said, based on what over the last 50 plus years do we rely on as evidence that a new President will do anything of much difference?
chris hedges dedicated 1/5 of his days of destruction days of revolt book to this city. it used to be well off because it was a manufacturing city, but capitalism began to seek lower wages over seas along with lower regulations. so the jobs left. chris went there with joe sacco who does comics and theres pictures in the book too. its heavy but its great.

basically chris says camden was the first to go, but the rest of the country is next. its exaggerated but it is slowly coming true.
