  • Things will get alright, recessions are normal in our economy, the bubble has just burst right now, but government spending really doesn't help, read up on Japan's Lost Decade, really freaks me out how similar it is to our situation.

  • @CHLOTHARIUS LOL. You dopey mutt. Again i love how easy it is to irritate your scumbag little brain. What an overweight pea you are.

  • @CHLOTHARIUS Hey my little internet coward! Love getting on your tiny little nerves.

  • worst job loses since 1974? in 1974 nixon (republican) was on the outs... the viet nam war stopped because congress refused to waste more money on it. see a pattern here? lets do this right and get out of todays wars too.. and remember, "polarization" means they want one to hate. or basically more hate = more money for them, less money for you. then come to california where we will soon pass prop 19!!!

  • Why do Americans hate socialism so much ?? , Only if you're verry rich that's a bad thing, ... for any average working class numnut that just means extra wellfare, free healthcare and all sorts of benefits. Anyway, i don't really care about usa ( Sorry !!)

  • educational, medical , and public sector.......... will not that will bankrupt local businesses because of high taxes? This is nonsense...... to bad young students and the college grad does not care until they get to the real world.

  • the UK government likes to keep 'it's' public keen, poor and appreciative. They do this by allowing loads of people into this country to take jobs and drive down the minimum wage thus if you are from England and do have a job you are supposed to be glad that you do.

    The EU agreement of letting these people in is nothing more than control. Do you REALLY believe the government's highly brained people did not see this coming? They are not fooling ME.

    The government created this beast

  • The United States of America...Land of dopeheads, unemployed, burger shuckers and paper pushers. We don't make shit anymore. What a mess this has come to. but hey we gotta have FED Healthcare ya know.

  • YEAH Jobs in Government, Healthcare, Education. Things the Feds can control like BIG BROTHER. IT'S BS. WHITE COLLAR Jobs? All the paper pushers that got us into this mess in the first place. And not everybody can shuck burgers...OH wait, all those jobs belong to Illegals these days.
