Finally a quote from somebody who sees it for what it is.

I guess as long as the never-ending bailouts continue...

And corporations can continue to slash workers and thus grow their profits...

And the answer to too much debt is going more in debt...

The farce of the market can continue for a long while.

Listen ever to the weak and oppressed for he who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor shall himself cry, and not be heard.

It is bad to see what is happening in many ways. On one hand it is sad to see large increases in those below the poverty line.

On the other hand, I have never bought expensive cars, boats, RV's, Motorcycles, Timeshares, expensive vacations... I once went to collect rent from a tenant and found them living much better than I was living with the latest electronics and furnishings.

Instead I worked hard and always saved and invested a portion of my earnings. Most people could do that perhaps by eliminating alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, gambling, bungy jumping.

Life is an investment! Save money to invest! Invest in your health! Invest in educating yourself! If you do life will pay off.

Poverty in the US is a government subsidized experience that is not really poverty compared to other parts of the world. Living on the street would be poverty.
