We are cursed with a do absolutely nothing Republican congress that has blocked every job bill and every attempt to help this economy.The banks, home lenders stole and Wall Street, in the open, and S&P,Moodys et al. went along with the gig. Somehow this is the working person's fault. How bizarre. Yet the rich have become so much more wealthy by not creating jobs but by cutting back,sending jobs overseas,layoffs and increasing dividends thereby increasing their own income. CEO pay is wild.The little guys and retirees have been destroyed by zero interest on safe CD's even though they did everything right. Now the GOP solution is to cut back on education, social programs, infrastructure, healthcare and try their best to destroy social security by giving it away to Wall Street. The middle class tea party, blinded by some of their leader's hate and bigotry does not understand that they are victims too.Yep, how bizarre.
