Let's ship some more jobs overseas!

Let's bring the national debt to 18 trillion!

Let's be part of the problem and not part of the solution and We will get what we deserve! A very grim future! Keep your eyes closed, keep your mouth shut, act like everything is fine, continue to ignore what is happening in our country and you will get the surprise of your life in the end! Stop, take a good look in the mirror and dont be part of the problem, be part of the solution!

If you are homeless like this do all you can to get a motorcycle they can be found not running ~$500 or less as long as they have title or are the owner and you can get title get that thing running and install bags on it. A motorcycle is the perfect homeless machine you can drive it into the woods right next to your camp and have a range of hundreds of miles you will be able to get it together faster.Get a 600 cc or smaller bike easier on fuel cheaper parts.
