1. You know, I'm sick to death of all this blame going to the 'government'.

I've lived in America for the past 64 years and up untill 2010, employment was the realm of businesses and not the government. It all worked just fine until the mid-80s when the GOP started this mantra that regulations were 'forcing' business to go overseas. As the mantra expanded to include the need for corporations to pay less and less in taxes, the employment situation got worse for the employees.

The government didn't cause Wall Street to run amok. The lack of regulation caused it. The scraping of laws that protected the little guy caused it. I'm sick to death of the GOP's line!
