A politician who spoke the truth, forthrightly, and acted on it.

Now we're all used to it. Hopefully at least now people are shocked by the disturbing behavior of most other politicians.

And, oh, if you could post EW stuff in the EW forum sometimes...

Speaking for myself, I don't much hang out in any of the "personality" forums.

The honest truth, which I'm reminded of every day. No hope for the "American Dream," for our descendent's. Looks like our future will be mass chaos?

I'm told that millenials are lazy, self-serving brats intent on instant gratification who would just as rather complain than work hard for their gains...

We were also told to sit down and shut up during the Occupy Movement, by a few on the left as well...

The current situation is a stacked deck. Against US.

Ten years of employment at my current employer, and if I walked tommorrow I'd have nothing to show for it other than 10 years' service and a broken back.

Something's gotta give.

Soon.
