Greed gone wild is destroying America, creating slave labor in 3rd world countries, wiping out the American middle class, and creating a "work for low wages and benefits" working poor class in America.

When the lay Republicans try and paint Obama out to be Osoma Bin Ladens biological brother through circulated "humorous" e-mails, remember what James wrote, "faith without works is dead faith, even the demons believe in Jesus." Just because a person puts their hand on the Bible when they are sworn into office doesn''t in any way, shape, or form make them a man of God. If Obama''s "works" say he is a man of God who is out "for the least of his brother" then that is what matters.

How many times will we be duped into voting for these Republican lovers of money, war, and power, who pretend to "convulse and praise the Lord," when they are really about as far as a person can get from being a follower of Christ through "works?"

''2) STOP INVESTING YOUR MONEY ON WALL ("WAR") STREET:''

Sorry, it''s the only way to make money with money and some of us want to retire early.

''if possible, BURN WOOD for heat''

Not a good idea at all. Nothing pollutes more than burning wood.


Some of your other ideas have some merit, but you won''t be changing the world posting on a CBS message board.

STOP SUPPORTING THE ELITES !

1) CANCEL YOUR CABLE / SATTELITE TV: let the corporate media moguls (and their advertisers) know that you will no longer pay for their propaganda.

2) STOP INVESTING YOUR MONEY ON WALL ("WAR") STREET: corporate America is selling out the middle class to the lowest global bidder and using our own money to do it; the financial markets will push for anything that increases profits - especially war .. invest your money in land, real estate, gold and silver.

3) SUPPORT LOCAL ECONOMIES !
- Buy from local manufacturers, local retailers, local craftspeople/artisans, etc.
- if possible, BURN WOOD for heat;
- support local growers or grow some of your own food;
- implement alternative energy sources (solar, hybrid autos etc ..)
- develop local means of commerce not based on the failing US dollar.

4) AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE BEGINS WITH YOU - healthy eating habits and exercise will create less demand on the system meaning lower costs. You%u2019ll have plenty of time to work out once you UNPLUG THE TV DRUG.

5) STOP UNNECESSARY CONSUMPTION & STOP USING YOUR CREDIT CARD !

6) DECENTRALIZE ! - the global economy is nothing more than a ploy to centralize power, control and wealth into the hands of an elite few - blinded by misinformation, the American people are buying right into it - the rich get richer and the middle class is quickly becoming the working poor.

''The Fed now expects inflation to be between 2.1 percent and 2.4 percent this year''

Are these guys comedians? My homeowner''s insurance went up 8% this year. Gas is back over $3 a gallon. I just paid $3 for a loaf of bread. Milk is $3.50 a gallon. Beer is up at least 15% over the last year. I can''t wait to get my auto insurance bill next month to see how much it will go up.

But the economy is on sound footing. Everything''s fine. Stay the course.

People think don''t get it. This is not a recession. It''s a race to the bottom: 1) Companies outsource jobs to other countries to cut costs, driving wages down and unemployment up, 2) Lowered wages force people to look for cheaper goods which are made overseas, creating pressure for more outsourcing, and 3) See 1.
