If the government is going to take credit for when our businesses are doing well...then where are they when they begin and/or fail? I know, shifting the blame, "fudging numbers" for personal gain, turning their heads of consequences of their decisions because it doesn't effect them personally. If your going to claim the "glory", you need to be able to claim the "defeat." We are hearing alot of "pats on the back," but, very little if any accountability for the losses. I cannot tell you the number of people I know who have lost their profession >jobs > homes >dignity. Yes, the economy does "appear" to be getting better, people are slowly getting back to work, but are recovering on a bit more than minimum wage. Where do they get their numbers in regards to the job market? I know people who have degrees in specific careers who have been forced to take 1,2,3 jobs just to make ends meet. People have been forced off of unemployment to make the numbers look good (yes, there are people who take advantage of any program, however, why do good people have to suffer consequences and harsh opinions of those who abuse it?) When I was looking for a job...there were HUNDREDS of people looking for jobs because they are not making ends meet with part time, non benefited jobs. If you did not have a degree, you weren't even noticed, if you did, you most likely were offered a job not even in your career background or interest. Like myself, I have been forced to go back to school later in life to find a career to make myself employable. After getting laid off of a job I was highly trained in, now holds little weight and besides the debt that has occured with little income, I now have education debt. Sometimes, you can plan for the worst, but with the economy as it has been for so long...being prepared for something like this is never enough...it eventually runs out. Our leadership needs to quit the bashing, doing things for their own political gain. To our Governement elected officials...what you spend on campaigning, would take thousands of people out of foreclosure and put food on the table of families. We have sports professionals, government officials, actors, ect., making more money than anyone can imagine and have the opinion that those of us without and are struggling, are "poor planners." Well...enough said...my point is..we need to get our heads out of the sand and into the reality of it all. I may not be highly educated, but this isn't "brain surgery."

Hey,

Would the birther(s) OK Bobby Jindal or Rubio if one of them were Romney's pick, or is this a partisan thing? I think if one of them is the pick and with all they have done with Obama, I think it would only be fair that either of them would or should require a good LOOK. so please Trump, Joe Arpaio and Orly do your due diligence.
