i remember when times were good we were shipping lots of stuff that people would use to build houses and such, no more houses being built means less shipments coming through trucking, it's a recession caused by the govt and banks in bed with each other to screw over the consumer by spending more than what they had....it kept the economy going but in the end most people had to give it all away because they can't pay the bills when everything was built in place and no more could be built and no more can be borrowed, all i can say is you are entitled to your vote and how you feel about things will pretty much decide your vote, the biggest threat of the american people is our own government, i won't be a bit surprised if all of mexico got amnesty and took all our jobs to really flatten out the wage gap to leave more americans feeling even more confused and off balance to sustain the expensive cost of living we have, i say there should be a world revolution to stop the worlds governments and the big players in our corporations, banks, and law to stop manipulating such important things to stunt the growth in our lives, we should never be a slave to debt or a slave to money or a slave to new taxes......they will not know the damage they have caused until it is too late....the next generation will pay for our choices today....take every matter seriously with respect and dignity to you and others around you cause we're all in this together
