The economy SUCKS!

We all know it. Some have a closer first hand look than others. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly constantly berate those on disability and food stamps. It's not that MOST people want food stamps or disability. I'm sure most would like good health and a decent job. Personally, I do like to eat once in awhile. Obama hasn't helped the economy he inherited. Ol' W dropped a bundle on 2 wars and HE didn't even get Bin Laden. He was more interested in Saddam because, as he said himself, Saddam threatened his daddy. He sent our men and women into 2 wars that were morally and financially wrong. He wasn't watching Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac and we ALL got blindsided by the resulting collapse. AIG was partying big on taxpayer money while Wall Street was spiraling into a deep hole. But both White House residents were willing to pony up more money. Government offices have also had their hands in the cookie jar. I will never get to Hawaii. Will you? The people in my family on disability ARE really DISABLED!!! Surprise, surprise! Rent and every other living expense has gone up. I can't afford to fill up my used van because that little 20 gallon tank would STILL cost me roughly $75. And I DON"T HAVE IT! Well, I could fill it up....if I wanted to live in it. I've said it before and I will KEEP saying it until someone listens. If we paid our elected officials what they have determined is a "living wage" for us, took away their perks and cars and planes, this country would be operating in the black almost immediately. I have seen a politician worth $100 a week, much less $100 K a year. And why do they want any pay at all from the taxpayers? Most of them are wealthy already with offshore account, etc..
