lay offs "The Big Squeeze" a book to read..

I'm listening to NPR and in tears over the sad lay off stories that I am hearing..the last caller is also losing Medicare along with her employment. The announcer was surprised at this ..but then again, I think hey it's the Bush rip off years.

Is it really a market correction or a sell out of the country's economy perhaps to China? Are we that much in hock? You know it's awfully crowded in China and I'm sure they could use lots more room.

In these bleak times my stained, soiled yet structurally sound arm back chair looks fine..even in the sunshine. I feel the heavy hearts of those listeners. Just who did this to us?

Was it the housing bubble they knew in 2005 was bound to burst one day? So the banks grew crookedly desperate and forked out faulty loans to pressure persuaded American dream hopefuls. And yes we were all in denial and mistakenly living in the moment.

Was it greedy CEO tactics...are they laughing all the way to Swiss banks.. certainly not our banks here in this country. And was Bush and company in on the biggest scam yet to happen to us? And he gets away Scott free? And now they are setting up Jeb in the Florida Senate to rip us off again...perhaps in 2012? Can't the crooks just go away..when is enough enough? When they conquer the whole Western Hemisphere and then more..perhaps the Middle East too. So what do they really have in mind for this country? I know the Camerons and Milton Friedmans' Chicago Boys have a plan to coup and over take something else. Or have they goofed up badly... and China is in the lead now? I watched Boston Legal the other evening and Candance Bergen had a lead and argued in court against the Chinese buying out her firm that when the communist buy our law firms..they can see that our laws get changed..so where it it all end? She asked..are we that much in hock? She quoted Hillary in saying..you can't pick a fight with your bank...and at this point in time China is our bank.

Can you believe instead of going green and natural creating jobs here by creating power with wind, solar and water we go into hock with China to buy oil and support a middle eastern country so the Bush Dynasty consisting of old already rich bucks could get even richer. Lobbyist are in control, you know, and run the show.. they are our governing crew.. Bush took orders from them. Well, actually, Bush didn't have a clue..it was the Cheney Show or more likely The Daddy Bush Show!

I hope everyone survives this mess we are in. It's time to cut back...wear old, rent movies, and drive used..

And may the rich get big and fat.. funny isn't it? No matter how rich anyone is, if they want to be healthy they too must exercise and eat healthy foods in limited amounts. And may the chemical company CEO's eat their own processed so call foods!

Good lot to the tax payer....we sure saw a lousy return on our tax money in the way of social benefits haven't we... what a lousy, corporate designed war over oil and dominance to get a petroleum foot hold in the Middle East at our expense? Most of our money went and will go for many years into greedy CEO pockets.. nice job! One has to admit that the Republicans wasted no time in their eight years!
