THE STATE OF THE UNION

THE STATE OF THE UNION

Forget the speech full of empty promises, forget the media
platitudes and ersatz adulations, forget wishful thinking.
If you want to know the real state of the union, take a
good look with your eyes.

See the millions of unemployed, many with advanced college
degrees? THAT is the state of the union.

See the high-paying jobs flowing to other countries? THAT
is the state of the union.

See the dollar in decline and nothing left to arrest the
fall? THAT is the state of the union.

See corporate executives looting their own companies and
then walking free? THAT is the state of the union.

See the schools that lack basic supplies? THAT is the
state of the union.

See the closed emergency rooms? THAT is the state of the
union.

See the holes in the roads? THAT is the state of the
union.

See the rolling blackouts? THAT is the state of the union.

See the defense budget bloat to half a trillion dollars?
THAT is the state of the union.

See the new nuclear weapons the US Government is building?
THAT is the state of the union.

See the billions in tax dollars pouring out to foreign
governments? THAT is the state of the union.

See the American women and children sleeping in alleys and
eating out of trash dumpsters? THAT is the state of the
union.

See the empty storefronts and commercial vacancies? THAT
is the state of the union.

See the closed factories, the rusted foundries, and the
abandoned mills? THAT is the state of the union.

See the soaring bankruptcies and foreclosures? THAT is the
state of the union.

See the poverty and starvation? THAT is the state of the
union.

And then there are the things you don't see.

You don't see those nuclear weapons Iraq was supposed to
be building. But we invaded Iraq anyway. THAT is the state
of the union.

You don't see chemical or biological weapons we were all
assured Saddam had. But we invaded Iraq anyway. THAT is
the state of the union.

And most of all you don't see the United States looked up
to as a bastion of freedom, law, and democracy anymore.
You don't see the United States looked upon as a moral
leader anymore. You don't see the United States looked on
as a leader in technology anymore.

And THAT, my fellow Americans, is the real state of the
union.

Dear Jenna,

please stop making a fool of yourself and leave these nice folks alone so
they can tend to giving the newbies noogies.

How many times do I have to tell you people. Unemployment is at 5.7%.
That is not high.

5% is not a high number, no, but when you consider the population...

Not that I care. I have a job

I'm basing it off of history. There is always unemployment. Always. And
historically, 5.7% is not a high rate.

That's not the state of the union, that's just the IT department.

kpg

Well, another question is, how many have lost living wage jobs, and are now
'employed' in part-time McJobs? How many have had their UE benefits run out
and are no longer counted? What will happen to the job market when or if all
thase troops come back from Iraq? There's more, but bottom line is I
distrust that 5% figure from the get go.
