Watson, It is obvious from your reply that you neither care about your American neighbors, nor their ability to continue to support their families, as your main motivator in life seems to be "money"; how to save it, make it, and capitalize on progress that eventually costs your neighbor and his family their home! You even call your neighbors who lose their job, through no fault of their own: "stupid and ignorant"! Not everyone's main purpose of motivation in life is the pursuit of money. Just look at all of your American neighbors who have willingly risked and given up their lives to fight in our military. I come from a military family, starting with my Dad in WWII, my oldest brother in Vietnam, and the rest of my family, who served the Air Force. There is no greater sacrifice than to willing risk or give up your life for your neighbor! And it has nothing to do with money, only putting your neighbors and their families first and not living a selfish existance, which you will answer to God for... What will it take for you to care more about your neighbors jobs and their ability to support their families, than your own selfish pursuit of money. Does your engineer son have to lose his job? Even liberal Connecticut (where I lived for a time) will be affected eventually...and not just private industry as government jobs are being outsourced at unprecedented rate along with government contract companies. From reading some of your posts, you seem to use the term "liberal" in your judging of others who do not care about doing what is right.. try not to become one in your own selfishness, as you will eventually need your neighbors, as people throughout history have in wars, in famines, and times of depression. Maybe even the next time the crappy phone company goes on strike in CT. or you lose electricity for days and you need your neighbors help in an emergency. Now is the time to care more about your fellow countryman and not just when you may need them, in my humble opinion. May God bless you and your family, in Jesus Christ name
