[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 30972, member: 153"] Re: Chrysler paid.... Yes...and that outrage of "attitude of entitlement" should extend to those in big finance that continually bankrupt the system by their schemes to separate money from those that need it the most.....the working man. Wall Street schemed and took the housing market down with it. Then, they blamed those that had aspired to have the "nice home in a safe neighborhood". (of course there was some greed along with the brainwashing perpetuated by those handing out Mortgages) But, the Mortgagee was deemed the sole culprit....as always.... it's the little guy that takes the brunt. Then, there's the College Education mess. They hype higher education to young people as a cure to their future life's ambitions and security, yet there's few jobs to be had for those that do graduate. The cost of attending a traditional University is out of the reach of the majority. Many are compelled to take college loans to pay for this "education" and are saddled with a debt they cannot possibly pay down, because the best job they can find is a bit over minimum wage. The biggest elephant in the room, of this financial mess, is least spoken of....and that is this quagmire of the two Wars of Afganistan and Iraq. It's well documented that the "Hawks" were scheming to invade those Countries years in advance. It only took time to get a Government and some easily manipulated stooges in place to launch their agenda. While the talk of terrorist hunting rambled on, the Military equipment manufacturers ramped up their production. It was Viet Nam all over again, except the new technologies helped to spare a large difference in casualties, of American Boys and Girls, but, not of the 400,000 plus Iraqi's who've been killed. We have 600+ Military installations around the World...why? Our budget for the Iraq & Afganistan War, and "normal" operations exceed 700 Billion dollars a year. Surely, there's a better way to keep Americans safe than to invade a foreign land.... hell, we don't even enforce our own borders....yet, we're trying to guess who & what handfull of crackpots are planning some offensive action against us. The REAL reasons for all of this War is to line some pockets and to pamper the power-mad egos of a group of elitists. What I find the most offensive, is that, the same fools that complain about "Big Government" are those that defend the Billions of Dollars spent initiating new Agencies that are redundant to those we have now. They complain about Taxes being too high, yet, seem to have their hand in the pot or have lobbyists that buy projects. We need reform, but it doesn't start with the little guy. Hammer [/QUOTE]
