What is really wrong with our economy is...

[SnoopDog]

Where are our jobs? They are overseas. Our government has severely betrayed us by allowing all these American corporations to out source our jobs.

What do we make? Where is our manufacturing? This is why America's economy is FAILING. We don't PRODUCE anything anymore.

And nothing will fix our Housing/Mortgage problem until People have good paying jobs - you know, to pay for a mortgage.

And what free money we have - we are being GOUGED on gas prices, food prices, and general living expenses.

And the Tax Dollars we pay, the money that we expect to Help Out Americans, go right into the pockets of cronies.

They are pulling off the biggest heist in history and America is crumbling and burning out of existence...

4. Just a personal thing... the War Industry is not a business to be proud of...

3. manufacturing

If they were spending $700 billion to build factories to make consumer products which the world would buy, I'd have more confidence than spending $700 billion on pieces of paper which Wall Street wants to get rid of.

5. Agreed. In 1929, we had our manufacturing to fall back on...

today, we make NOTHING (or very little). Look at the trade deficit - that proves it.
