10. There systematic coldness

of those repugs don't surprise me none. They have a plan that they will make it so bad that the American public will beg them into letting them steal again. Thats all this shit is. They figure if they hold onto the money and not hire they can create a low wage work force and they can pick and choose over the spoils because by then everyone will be so desperate the will have to say uncle. They don't give a damn about anything. This is about the have and have nots.
