What's wrong with these people? Big Ben said that the worst of the recession is over.

Our future has been spent. The bail out is like throwing water on a electrical fire. It will be a miracle if in 10 years if "real" unemployment falls below 10%. The middle class will be joining the ranks of the impoverished. If you have ever been to europe this is what our society will become. Some may like this others not. Our steady decline over the last 30 years from a great nation to a begger nation could have been avoided but greed triumphed over the public good .

The nation as a whole has changed morally and ethically for the worse and we are reaping what we have all sowed..

If you have ever been to Europe then you'll know in the majority of it the poverty levels are lower as is the disparity between the rich and poor. No idea which part you went to but I'm from one of the most deprived parts and would rather be there than poor in the U.S.

I agree with you. Compared to the U.S., Europe is truly the 'Great Society.'

Jindal is a real a**hole for not accepting money to extend unemployment benefits to our poor. I can't believe that he could be voted back in. claudiatucsonaz
