The fact of the matter is, our economy is crap. For any one who has had to look for a job any time lately you understand the employment situation. This is really getting out of hand, we have companies now that just run job ads with out there really being a position open. So when you think you are applying for an opening really you are just submitting to a list. Along with that how many of you have called a company and got somebody overseas? I know I have many times. Also business now run the tele voice mail or whatever you want to call the computer you always have to talk to when you call a business. Now what do these have to with the economy, well a lot. Business out source to other counties, no longer want to interact with there customers, and do not hire those people who normally would do those jobs. This turning into a bad cycle of events in my mind big business continue to rake in huge profits while constantly raising prices. Oil companies are the worst, they continue to raise prices even through they are making record breaking profits, who will step in and say enough is enough? In my eyes no one will, the oil companies either have the politicians paid off or on the pay role in some form. Think about this, in a small town close by me in Illinois a power plant was planned to be built after a long wait and process of the company looking for the best spot. The last two towns were the one here in IL and a town in Texas. Illinois got the spot and the people in this region were ecstatic. There just not that much money that gets put into these towns and cities so this was a big deal. A short time after this we here word that President Bush got involved and now some how the plant will be getting built in the Texas town. HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMM, isn’t he from Texas? Doesn’t this seems like somebody got paid or owed somebody a favor?

What I feel is the solution is the need to remove and replace the government as a whole. The one we have now is totally corrupt. I think if our government  had other restrictions for politicians it would run a lot better. For example no more contributions, politicians may not be tied to large corporations of any kind, and they only get there pay check from the government while in power and can not make any other money. In some ways this seems unamerican, but at the same time if our officials are always tied to big money how will the common man be heard?
