Nobody's Hiring, Money Is Tight, People Aren't Spending, We're In An Economic Recession .......
bordering on depression - and yet there is a ton of money available for this upcoming election to overturn the Dems hold on Congress.

Seems to me to be a big contradiction. Where is all this money coming from that people and corporations are donating in all these fundraisers? There seems to be an unlimited supply of money out there to oust the Dems.

Why is it that money is available for that but not to help us crawl out of this hole the BushCo and the Repugs put us in?

Why is so much money being spent to oust the Dems from Congress?

Are they afraid of what the Dems might do to get us out of this hole? Is that why the whole of MSM, Corporations, Chamber of Commerce, SCOTUS, and the wealthiest of America are coming out and spinning and spending like there's no tomorrow?

Is that why all we hear are negatives about the President and the Dems? What are they all afraid of? Hmmm... that the Dems might actually do something good for this country.

They are seeing what Obama and the Dems have been able to do with all this resistance by the Party of No with the help of MSM and they are afraid of what they could do if they really able to govern.

2. Just this afternoon, a money-honey reported Fed Ex profits were UP 2 %, & then
said they expected to RAISE prices by 4% this fall...

This ever-ratcheting-up of prices so that companies can make a neverending higher & higher profit, is what's killing us all.

3. What's more, Wall Street behaves as if it is hurting, claiming that Obama's policies
have led to uncertainty and THAT's why they're sitting on money rather than lending and creating jobs. And yet, they have all this money to spend trying to defeat Democrats.

O.K.... :(

6. the uncertainty, of course, is due to high unemployment and too much debt
brought to you by the shrub economic hit team.

4. You got that right!
Stupid mega-corporations will directly/indirectly kill us off, without ever batting and eyelash (until they have no human capital left) because up until a not yet reached point I was replaceable by the next human poker chip. As long as they have fuel, they will continue to feed the fire.
