The economy has failed as the local, state and federal tax base has dried up. Unemployment is a chronic problem and possibly terminal. There is no more productive enterprise, we've been sending it overseas for the last twenty plus years, and it's not coming back. We are now borrowing money to consume goods produced elsewhere instead of sending them ours and increasing our own value. They are using the income to further buy us out. The world is coming more and more to despise us as Obama expands the wars he promised to end and as Americans continue to demand their elite entitlements to a better standard of living. The only standard you or the generations to come will have is wallowing in your debt. In the mean time there are 200million orphans in the world, 100million extra men, a 33billion dollar human trafficking industry. The world is modernizing so people suffering are not going to just die quietly in poverty and from treatable disease by the millions as they have in past generations. We can probably tax some more and get another stimulus check to put people to work in unproductive office jobs for another six months or so and hope the serious problems of the world will not crash through our borders and wreck your cush lifestyle. But then we wouldn’t want to be labeled racist by saying immigration should be handled legally. Maybe the President can just fix it for us. Debt? well that's just some paper thingy. No productivity? Well, that's a vacation. Problem solved.

She is very far left...or as least has been as long as I've known her. She works in Child and Protective Services for the State doing case studies for the family Court. She now believes government unions are a cancer. A complete reversal after 20 years of gov't work... She has seen teachers and other gov't workers doing child abuse and other sick crap yet simply can not get fired. She also sees the waste in the many areas of government work sectors that she is familiar with. And she truly is a caring hard worker. Right now she is saddled with over 500 families in her case load. A lifelong dem, she is disgusted with what the dems have done to Hawaii. She is so disgusted with Obama she won't even watch the news now.
