Let's see... What possibly could have put us in this situation???
1. Washington does nothing to stop the flood of illegal aliens coming to US working for less and collecting benefits paid by our taxes?
2. Billions spent on bailouts that fund golden parachutes, bonuses, exotic hunting trips, and private aircraft?
3. Lop-sided trade agreements with every country we do business with?
4. The US borrows money from China while sending tons of aide to other countries?
5. Corporations outsource labor undercutting American wages?
6. Government continues to double in size and does less and less but cost more and more?
7. The government wants to see an efficient business plan for the auto bailout before they give money - What the hell has the government ever done EFFECIENTLY?? Remember FEMA?
8. UAW workers get up to 95% of their pay while laid off? PLUS management flies to Washing in private jets with their tin cups asking for money?
9. Credit debit is at an all time high?
10. Nothing is repaired- we just buy another one! We have become a throw away society (wasteful)?
