A key point you guys might want to understand. The FED, who really runs the country, wants everything to collapse. When it does, they come in with "their" rescue plan, and save the day. it's all about control people. get used to that word. When there is no one working, no jobs, and the middle class has been totally eliminated, the powers that be finally have control.
When you want to know the "why" of something, always follow the money. That will always tell you the real reason for something. Programs such as the green movement, stimulas program, tarp program, and the list goes on. Did many of you benefit from these programs? But there are some big investment firms that got bailed out with your tax dollars, and made billions from theses programs. Remember to follow the money. That will tell you everything you need to know.
The ONLY major reason unemployment benefits haven't been cut out , is the fact that they know people will riot, as they have no other income to rely on,. The natives are truly restless, and everyone is on edge.
Remember this, you may plan a few weeks or months ahead. The government has planned years ahead. They already know how things are going to play out. All that is happening is designed to make the middleclass dissapear. And the plan is working great. Check your official government stats. Look at the spread between those making above x ammount at the top, and the lower end of the chart. The gap in wage earnings is vast. This means that "their" plan is working. Soon, all you will have are the rich, and the poor. Nothing in between. Remember, it has always been the middle class that pays the bulk of the income taxes.
Don't forget the word "control". Everything the government does is for that reason. Do the math for yourself. Watch what they do, not what they say. Last thing, if you think it's bad now, wait six months--you ain't seen nothing yet. it's all part of the "plan".

I agree with everything you said I sure hope Obama can figure something out this lone wolf senator is really doing the country wrong. I can understand his points and agree with him in principle but he made his stand in the wrong place. He is retiring in November and does not care about re-election. Unemployment is the only thing holding the country together right now. If it does stop a fear for this nation I hope we can overcome it in this fragile state.
And I will tell you what if Obama ever wanted to win the hearts and minds of this nation his opportunity is this issue. The American people are to big to fail. And if you think the banks falling apart was a bad thing this is many times worse.
