What's next? I don't know, do you? Who am I? I am someone who makes films. What do I do? I look through viewfinders. And how do I live? I live by the skin of my teeth.

The Inevitable Rise of Poor, who witll Riot and Rob

In the most recent "State of the Union" our current Crawford, Texan President seeks to slash government entitlements, does he honestly expect the poor fuckers who don't know how to manage their welfare checks to be able to invest wisely for their future?

In country where the savings rate is lower than the interest rates, you have to wonder to people (speaking broadly and stereotypically) EVER consider "that rainy day." I sure didn't. About four years ago I went out to buy a new car, as I had some money in the bank and a well-paying job. However, I lost my job in the aftermath of bin Laden's dicksmacking of the US and I have struggled to have a full-time job that paid me at least $10 more than subsistance wages. I recently had a great contract job paying around $1100 a week, but I was so in the hole 'cause of the car payments (three months behind when I finally got the job) that by the time the job ended I was just treading water again (as opposed to drowning earlier).

The U.S. is increasingly becoming a Third World Nation, and why is no one addressing this? Is it because that's too much to consider? Is the nation, as it's being run by the GOP, in a state of denial? The GOP will be where our version of a military junta is culled.

Take a stand, depose, oppose, and fight against GOPism!
