Ace is an ass, and he lies. That's what "****es me off". People who
defend the plundering of this formerly great country **** me off. You
don't even realize how ****ed we are. None so blind... They know
not...

What ****es me off about you is that you are a nut case posting about
your paranoia in the RRS news group.

It's not paranoia one bit. It's over.

This nation is in a lot of trouble as the middle classes are being wiped
out. Talk to the average consumer and average worker and you'll see things
as they are. Not reading ****ty publications that tell us how great things
are. Thats why the people are up to their eyeballs in debt just to afford
the basics. We're not talking about living with the Joneses, were talking
about the average American family making 30 K to 70 K going down quite hard
as the cost of living increases faster than wages. Unemployment and
underemployment is around 15 percent by any real substantial economic
analysis. Government says unemployment is 5.5 percent yet the way they
figure the stats is flawed. For instance, they don't count people who have
left the workforce due to not being able to find a job. They don't count the
people that started into a small business or some other occupation. They
include the prisoners in the prison system as being employed even though
they are not in the civilian workforce. This also includes the military
folks even though they do not hold civilian jobs.

Government and the housing industry was responsible for the creation of what
jobs were created since 2001 and 2002. Now that bubble is bursting and the
housing is going down hard which decreases the need for construction
workers, home improvement, and many other jobs. Government payrolls
increased by tens of thousands with little increases in productivity. Small
towns all over America are being decimated as jobs leave in the
manufacturing industries yet Wal Mart, China Mart, and every other business
relies on imported goods from the Far East. You dont create wealth by
creating nothing of value. Even a lot of computer software is not created
here but by Indian programmers. So there went high tech and high quality
jobs.
