Just recently, I read in a poll that Americans are losing faith due to our economy becoming like crap and yet our government is doing what it can, even though it is very little. What happened to all the patriotism? Sure, we had our ups and downs, but EVERY country has financial crisis. We didn't have it worser than the Soviet Union/Russia during their fall up until the late 1990's.

Another article I read showed America becoming severely divided by political factions, mostly due to Obama and McCain campaigns. A bunch of arguments show up over who's better and I'm sick of all these ads and complaints. Also, just because lately, the Iranian president announced our "empire's" fall doesn't mean we got to say "Oh, vote Obama, he will talk hard with Mahmoud!" or "Vote McCain, he will hand Iran's word right back!" God, I hate the media and how Americans can be so naive. We need to be wise in the elections and stick together as a country!
 
Thank the media. If you ask the average Joe what the worse problem in America is he will say the economy. If you then ask, "In what way?" He has no idea, just something he heard.
 
because the leaders are shaking us down for a 700 billion dollar welare check for their buddies (to prevent a 'depression'), on a day that they're trying to pass a massive guest worker bill????


House Judiciary Com. to Vote Today on Foreign-Worker Bills
Updated Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 10:00 AM

Public Notice for Markup Given in Dead of Night Yesterday

The House Judiciary Committee will take up two foreign-worker bills today: H.R. 5882, which would add an additional 550,000 permanent green cards; and H.R. 5924, which would add 20,000 additional foreign nurses per year for three years (plus their families). Please contact your U.S. Representative through the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask him/her to do everything possible to stop the passage of these bills. The Committee waited until late last night to give notice for the markup, presumably in an effort to avoid public scrutiny.

H.R. 5882 – "Recapturing Unused Employer-Sponsored Visas"
This legislation is similar to the measure that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is using to hijack debate on E-Verify reauthorization in the Senate. The bill’s sponsor, Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif), claims it would “recapture unused employer-sponsored visas” from as far back as 1991 and then add them to the current numerical cap of 140,000 employer-sponsored visas that are available each year. Current law, however, clearly states that any employer-sponsored visas not used in one year are allocated to the family-preference categories in the following year. That means that there are no “unused” visas from past years to “recapture.”
