After 20 of the last 28 years having Greedapublican Presidents, if you don''t realize who has put the 2 x 4 up your rear end by now, just keep voting Republican, maybe they''ll privitize your social security and make it all better.

Well if McCain wins office,we will really be hit.He believes that middle class average annual wages are around $5 million.Haa! What has he been smoking?I really about lost it when I read that.He is so out of tune with society that if he wins ,it will take another 8 yrs before our country begins to handle our economy.

Obama''s cure....take money away from those that produce and give it to those that don''t

"Workers say that they don''t earn enough
to make ends meet."

Certainly ALL workers don''t say this !!!

CBS should preface this by stating that

a few, maybe even "VERY FEW", workers

complain of a lack of being able to afford

patronizing a house of ill-repute !!???

So much compassion form you GOP_forever. Your true Christian Values, the ones you supposedly have, are shining through as usual. Typical GOP attitude.

Now bring the jobs back to America and quit raping the little guy.

I have read that there is a migration of Americans to India to work in call centers. A lot of Indians don''t have the language skills.

John McClone thinks that all people about to retire have paid-for houses (4 or 5 at least), fat pension plans, and preferably a rich relative or two to sponge off of.

That''s how he made it, isn''t it?

Surveys are finding that more and more people are using their credit cards to buy necessities like ever increasing costly food and gasoline. While prices go up, the average wages have stagnated or gone down over the Bush tenure. Enough is enough. Vote Democrat so they can get on your side.

Then shorten the length between the ends, stupid. Nobody told you to *** out children indiscriminately, buy toys, houses and cars you couldn''''t afford. Jesus, people, this is basic math.

Not always as possible as you might think. There are some of us that work two jobs, one minimum wage, that just had their hours cut. While I went all cash 5 years ago and got rid of ALL credit cards; when I lost my last good paying job 3 years ago and cannot find good employment no matter how many apps I turn in, then I have trouble(s). I have driven the same vehicle for 11 years and it was paid in full in 1999. I cannot shorten the month, I still have bills to pay like water, electric, rent, gas to go to/from work (which I can barely afford to keep my job[s]).

I had a good chance for a decent paying job, but then they ran a credit check, wanna guess what happened then?

Your solution sounds more like GOP garbage than anything else. Bring the jobe back from India, Philipines, Pakistan, etc and back to the good ''ol USA and put Americans back to work. Cut the pay for the CEOs and use the extra $$ from their salaries to fund more employment, benefits, retirement, etc. This is where I see that the GOP has alolowed corporate America to rape our citizens.

Didn''t W tell the American people the best thing they could do for the US is to go out and spend money? Wasn''t that part of the "rebate" checks? I agree peole sometimes over extend themselves, but the issue is that job salaries are decreasing and prices are increasing, creating ecomnomic issues for more and more people.

The Repugs have sent so many of our good paying jobs overseas, tried to gut retirement plans, made bankruptcy unavailable except for Donald Trump, stood by as the medical profession has raised fees far beyond inflation, and raised the costs of everything from fuel to food, it''s not surprising that many are worried.

Not to worry good people--the Republicans just want you to know your place. You are peasants, and you exist to serve rich Republicans!

You PhD, now flipping burgers--now rich Republicans don''t have to pay so much for burgers! Used to own a business, now you mow lawns--rich Republicans can get their lawns mowed cheaper.

You get the picture, don''t you?

I got a notice from my credit card company two week ago that I still have 5000$ left on their card. I laughed. Where do these companies get all this money to throw at us dumheads? Are they secretly printing it on a boat somewhere just outside our borders?
