Every day, we get bombarded with 'polls', statements, 'news flashes', from the media and the Politicians. Words without air. That's all they are. At the end of the day, they mean nothing to the average American citizen. They do nothing for the average American citizen.
Most of them are just smoke n' mirrors. We're led by the nose to believe that the Obama Administration is leading the charge of the Middle Class and revitalizing our economy, when in truth, they, and 'he' are not.
Congress is deadlocked in a stalemate that rivals Western Europe during the First World War and trench warfare. It was and is all futile, useless, and a loss for everyone.
Dear reader, we've been told that 'consumer confidence' jumped remarkably at the end of November and in December, that Americans had confidence in 'credit' again and spending for the Holiday Season was up far more than predicted. Do you know what that really means?
First, that 'credit' was used and not cold, hard cash. Credit, where payments will be coming due now. People were buying to have a good Christmas, to help erase the intense blues we've been feeling as a Nation for the past two years. It is also some mild hope that Obama will soon be voted out and a good, Republican Capitalist will be voted in and energize our Nation and it's economy.
But before that happens.....the credit card payments will be due. And what jobs? The Obama White House touted the decrease in jobless claims that came out for a few weeks.....due to what dear reader? Really? What?
Part time seasonal Christmas hire's, and that claimants were too busy shopping, traveling, or indoors and not at the Government Offices filling out paperwork. That's what kept those numbers down.
Last week what happened? The number went up.....Christmas is over and part timers are laid off again, and people are not going to family homes for the Holidays, it's back to survival.
You know what I noticed as well? In my neighborhood, a very telling sign, after Christmas, 4 houses went up for sale !!! Two already have been vacated and/or abandoned. In a decent middle class neighborhood too !!
Don't let the Obama people fool you, it's going to be a very tough 2012 economically for the average American. It's a mild winter as well, which means a bad hurricane season and storm season. Brace for impact.
As well, I've seen in our small tourist dependent city, four restaurants and a few nightclubs, go out of business this 'winter'. Not to mention Nationally, the large companies that are closing a few key locations in the Midwest in aeronautics industry. KMart, Sears, Macy's, etc, closing stores...... Shovel ready jobs Barack??!! Yes, to shovel yours and the the DNC b.s. that is piling up.
Look around your own neighborhoods, look at the closings, for sales, v new construction. Not too good is it??!!
