Is Congress about to put you out of work?

Derrick_Crowe
Now that the deficit committee failed, war profiteer CEOs are launching an all-out propaganda campaign to protect their profit margins. They and their allies in Washington are working to protect the massive, corruption-filled war budget by slashing social safety nets that help create jobs. This would be a disaster for our economy.

    • All I will say is "go ahead and do it" and watch what happens. They have removed US citizens ability to rectify things like this politically, legally and are in the process of eliminating our right to protest peacefully. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that that leaves only one avenue for "we the people to institute change--violence.

      I suppose it was all predictable. After every powerful nation achieves it peak, it declines politically and economically, and is finally destroyed by corruption. The United States is no different. The kind of genius and passion that resulted in our constitution being written is no longer with us, and if it was, would be driven into obscurity. Instead we get Faux News and people like Perry, Bachman, Cain, Palin etc who are America's version of Nero. Entrenched power/corruption never leaves willingly, it has to be driven out. So, to me, it's no longer an issue of "if" the revolution happens but "when".

    • As YousefIslam pointed out below: President Obama has said he will veto this crap if it comes to his desk. Let's move on.

    • the mentality pushed in our education system creates millions of unquestioning workers for the best job left available, soldier. If you opt out of that choice there is always Wal-Mart or McDonalds waiting for you.

      We will never change a thing if we keep playing by their rules and accepting their systems

    • If they cut Social Security or raise the age limit before you can retire, it will only create higher unemployment because more people will be looking for work to live.

    • Someone needs to compile a list of names and companies responsible for the war profiteering and those being the hand puppets of corporations. From there the people need to go after them and win our country back. It upsets me that while the OWS protesters are standing up and letting their voices heard, it isn't making visible progress.
      The time is coming soon to where the citizens of the US need to pull their forces together and stand up for our neighbors, our friends, our cities, and most importantly our country that's being raped and pillaged financially by these self conceited assholes who'd rather see us die of hunger than go without their new rolls.
      I don't know about the whole 2012 prophecies, but I have an eerie feeling that the culmination of all of this will come to a climax next year. And when it does it will split the earth in two and only one will remain.
      Prepare yourselves people, things are going to get rougher than they've ever been.

      Very well stated . Have you looked at the many corps owned and operated by the CIA ? Gives even more insight if ywant to be able to predict what decisions will be made by officials in both the immediate and the long term . Keep cool . dont show any fear . Look and learn.
