And you thought you were ripped off...

Until and unless the current economic cycle is broken the situation we all find ourselves in will continue. And it is us that is to blame overall. We each and everyone of us have to become involved in our country at all levels. <br /> <br />And it won't be easy to do. There have to be more that care than do not. People have to be educated in many things. But take for example a family of four with Mom and Dad working to survive. How much time do they have to get involved in anything? Now multiply that by the middle class. Who does it leave to get the job done? <br /> <br />Look at some of the figures - one in 73 goes bankrupt, home foreclosures at their highest point ever. The list goes on and on. <br /> <br />On the new Medicare bill. Facts are coming out about the true cost of it. A hundred billion more to 500 hundred some odd. And Carl Rove is quoted as saying "much ado about nothing". Those hundreds of billions is tax money. <br /> <br />The corporate world is rife with the stench of wrongdoing caused by greed. <br /> <br />Even our government appears to be lying to us on many things. I am surprised about the many facts surfacing that the goverenment has not refuted. It is down right scary. <br /> <br />What really scares me how will my grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. live in this world. <br /> <br />As I said - we have to have people that care and are willing to do something about this quagmire we are in. Talking alone will not get the job done. <br /> <br />BUT it can be done if we all want it badly enough. <br /> <br />
