What the hell? I though the economy was going GREAT?

This particular video clip didn't look that rough. Loud, but not really unruly or disorderly.

So many people are needy and living in poverty, and unless something changes, we are in serious trouble.

Just look at what little your money buys at the supermarket. Are bread lines that far off?

The eecond video is not showing up. Just go to their home site and scroll down. I think that was taken later in the day.

Talk about the “Wild West”, the “Wild West” can’t hold a candle to the shootings and killings that happen every day in the US.

The ‘recession of the early ‘90s;’ I do believe we are in a lot worse shape now days compared to back then. Today the government is hiding the true quantities of unemployment and how many people really are living in poverty today.

There should be a ‘bounty’ on politicians who lie. Anyone ‘running for office’ is a politician; just in case they decide they are going to change their mind once in office, No more fables to get elected.

The Government exaggerates and manipulates all of the numbers they give us. I alway's wonder where they find the people that handle these numbers, and just how they move the numbers all around? I think they hire pathological liars to do these job? I think they are the only type of person that can even think of these schemes.

According to your Governor, you can live on $7.25 an hour. A few weeks ago they had a free clinic for people to get health care and dental. Lines were long. The same day the Oklahoman ran an editorial on how the state prevailed in not getting Obamacare. Such bs.

It is just the hubby and me and our grocery bill is never lower than $150 a week. I don't know how families are doing it. Obviously, some aren't.

l'm sure who is buying the beef in the supermarkets. I looked at a small roast today, it was $15.00. It looked like after I cooked it, it would feed one person. Every item I picked up, the ounces had been reduced.

Makes you worry what the future is bringing.
