I hear ya brotha, I agree. I just get sick of these politicians or radio personalities rather right or left that everything is fantastic or stop your whinning or that I shouldn''t be bitter.
the only people who say that are the rich and the only way America''s middle class can become richer is to bring our jobs back home.
We the middle class did not demand "free trade", "globization", N.A.F.T.A. none of that nonsense.
Wall Street demanded "free trade" and "globization" nonsense. - Reply to this comment

- whitemale08 - I haven''t heard or read anything about republicans saying the economy is so "fantastic" as you put it! China''s economy is boosting because we have sent all our companies to their country, cause their people can do the work for a fraction of the price. Then our folks loose their jobs because their work either went to China or an illegal immigrant is doing it. Now all you find in Wal Mart is "Made in China" stuff that falls apart before you get it home.
so, Republican President, Democratic PResident or independent..........we need to bring our jobs back to the USA, we need to send illegals home, employ the legal immigrants and bring jobs back to america......producing products that will last because we can once again be proud of our nation. - Reply to this comment

works for them, they fly private jets. In america, you just have to be in the top 10% to feel all warm and fuzzy...at least for now. - Reply to this comment
- Da** this is worse then what a lot of 3rd world countries do.
Folks, we haven''t seen anything yet, the jeapordizing of our safety has just begun.
And just to let you Republicans know something, there''s plenty of growth in the economy of 3rd world countries. Take China for instance when growth over there is 10.1%. That''s alot of growth but would you want to work in China? No so what makes you think this economy is so fantastic?

- "These eight pilots have routinely been above the 60 to 90 minute range. It just behooves us as a company to talk to these guys, figure out what they''re seeing that we''re not," Durrant said.

Oh, so it just THOSE EIGHT GUYS. What a relief.
Let me guess - those are the EIGHT MOST EXPERIENCED PILOTS, and they''ve had the experience of landing with just a cup of fuel left in the tank because SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENED...
Yah, punish your most experienced guys. What you REALLY need is some less experienced pilots... - Reply to this comment
