Everyday it creeps higher - and absolutely no mention in the papers.

1. Damn those bastards

Damn them all to hell.

2. Unfortunately it is they who are damning us in their own special hell

I keep waiting to wake up and discover this is just a bad dream. We really don't have an insane war-mongering open-mouth-breathing drooling idiot as a president, do we?

My god....

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. I feel the same way - how the hell did this all happen?

But I saw something a couple of days ago that said that something like 40+% of Americans can't even read very well. It kind of explains how so many people could be so ignorant.

4. I guess the team's next goal post is 3000. Rah Rah Rah Bushitler.

5. I wish they would all just come home.

7. to what jobs? to what future? they are only slightly worse off than we are

sorry, I get real depressed when I apply for an advertised job only to find out that 300 applied for 20 positions. At a f-ing tobacco company no less, yes after tobacco killed both my parents I would be willing to work for the pushers. I have sunk so low, at 52 years of age there is nothing for me. I can barely lift my head. The only value I can offer my family would be if I was killed, still have a little life ins. but it is less than I used to earn in a year.

thank You GOP, I owe you, and I am good for my debts. one way or another, sooner or later.

8. Well, I am right in there with you.

58 and out of work. We just don't count for much in this world.

And think how many of us there are out there - all in the same boat. It is really scary.

9. I am sorry to hear leftyladyfrommo!

It just might be that when things go pop it will be the older generation causing the ruckus.

I grew up in St Louis BTW.

11. Maybe we should start a movement - like the Grey Panthers did

There are going to be a whole lot of us out there really soon and we should get everyone organized. That would be kind of fun.

6. faster than they can keep the numbers updated

10. It's easy just to report whatever.
