Where is the US economy headed?

okie also said that Obama paled around with communists, and even recruited some into his administration. That'll be gravy in a court of law where okie accuses our president of being a communist.

I do not admit to doing something I did not do, which, despite having cut and pasted my original remark you do not recognize because you read at the middle school level.

You misinterpreted what I wrote. You and your right wing friends love to ridicule left wing women as frigid man-haters when nothing could be further from the truth.

I mix up nothing. I could read better than you can today when I was in sixth grade and I remember what I write. Perhaps, because my memory is stronger than yours; perhaps, because I do not have sock puppets; perhaps, due to all of the above.

One thing I can say with confidence, ci, I am on much more solid ground to agree with ican much of the time

You actually say you agree with ican.

The people you named fought for a better America. They were hardly anti-Americans, although they were anti-LBJ and Nixon.

By the way, it was Nixon that inherited the Vietnam War. He had nothing to do with its creation and in fact he was the president that presided over the ending of the war.

The U.S. has not just misplaced its priorities. When the most powerful country ever to inhabit the earth finds it so easy to plunge into the horror of warfare but almost impossible to find adequate work for its people or to properly educate its young, it has lost its way entirely.

Nearly 14 million Americans are jobless and the outlook for many of them is grim. Since there is just one job available for every five individuals looking for work, four of the five are out of luck. Instead of a land of opportunity, the U.S. is increasingly becoming a place of limited expectations. A college professor in Washington told me this week that graduates from his program were finding jobs, but they were not making very much money, certainly not enough to think about raising a family.

There is plenty of economic activity in the U.S., and plenty of wealth. But like greedy children, the folks at the top are seizing virtually all the marbles. Income and wealth inequality in the U.S. have reached stages that would make the third world blush. As the Economic Policy Institute has reported, the richest 10 percent of Americans received an unconscionable 100 percent of the average income growth in the years 2000 to 2007, the most recent extended period of economic expansion.

Really?

I bought a pair of shoes today, I guess you would call them casual athletic shoes, at Walmart, where I've virtually never bought shoes up until this point, but price and availability finally led me to check Walmart. I could not find any not made in China, at least the ones that seemed to fit my liking, design, and fit.
