President Obama is caught between a rock and a hard place, because no matter what he does...he could come up with the most brilliant legislation...for example, the Jobs Bill...and he'll never get it through the Congress.  Because the Congress is racist...and there will never be a black man OR a woman succeed in Washington. 

If Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain should take notes, at what is happening to a black man...right before their very eyes.  If either of these two people get elected to the Presidency...watch what happens to Obama.  I think there are racists in the Congress, that would let the country go under, rather than to let a black man succeed, etc. 

If it happens, the first woman president of the United States, will also be caught between a rock and a hard time.  Will Michelle Bachman learn from this?  Will Herman Cain learn from this?  Only time will tell. This is the first time in the history of the United States, that a black person has been president of the United States, and nobody knows the answers to those questions...and dozens of other questions. 

I think I'm in a unique position to write all these articles, that the reader will see in this article, because 'I've been there...I've done that'!  Over a decade or so, I've been laid off from SIX jobs; i was homeless at the age of 60;  I stood in a soup line for over two months; I lost all my possessions; I had to file for bankruptcy; I've had sheriff's deputies visit me to collect on credit card debt...and the sad story goes on and on.  So, much so that I had to write several articles to tell my story...and those stories are listed below.  (all will have links to the articles themselves)

I am not a crusader of doom; a fatalist, etc.  I consider myself a realist, etc.  As you read all the articles, you will see that 'I've been there...I've done that'...

BANKRUPTCY; The United States of America;
As I say in this article, I believe that America will go bust...from the inside...self-destruct!  I'm not an economist...but if Greece goes bust...it will probably be because of corruption!  Because of the domino theory...others will follow in Europe.  The Congress will be at fault for the fall of the United States, because of stealing from the taxpayers in the form of earmarks, which is the Congressional 'cookie jar' in which everyone in Congress can take hundreds of millions of dollars out of the 'cookie jar' which does not need approval from the Congress,  Just help yourself to the taxpayer's money.  A good example is the former Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, in which he took hundreds of millions, and funneled it to West Virgina.  Byrd has over 40 structures named after him in West Virginia...such as freeways; hospitals; libraries; courthouses; airports...all as a result of earmarks and at the expense of the national taxpayer's.  This is the way most self-serving politicians have done...and get a feather in their caps and get re-elected.  Sad for the country, and that's why this is one of the reasons why the US has a 14 trillion dollar debt...it has, in part, been stolen from the citizens by the worthless Congress!  Senator Robert Byrd didn't do anything wrong...that's the way the Congress has set up the Congressional 'cookie jar' just help yourself to taxpayer's money...and now the country is going bust...I would call this type of behavior as 'moral corruption,' but it's corruption nonetheless, etc.

Will Social Security Be There For You?
If the United States goes belly-up, there won't be Social Security for anyone!  But, if there is Social Security...I think the Congress will raise the age to receive Social Security, and most of the people will not reach that age.  As of 2011, I am 66 years of age, and I may make it through.  But, younger people may never see Social Security...they won't live to see it.  I think American's will have to work longer to get Social Security, which is too bad.  How is a 70 year old supposed to get a job? 

I Know What It's Like Be Homeless;
At the age of 60 at the time, I thought I would have a house paid for and I'd be on the gravy-train, and vacationing all over the country.  But, six joy layoffs, will put you in the streets.  If there's a silver-lining in all this, the VA declared me disabled and Social Security followed.  This made me elegible for Medicare at a younger age.  This was the worst time in my life...but, at least I had a roof over my head, etc. 

The Great Society Could Be Coming To an End!
In 2011, I live an a Senior Center, which is subsidized by the federal government.  All these subsidies are coming to an end...dairy; housing; farmers, etc.  All these programs were set up in the 1060's, as part of the Great Society programs during the Johnson Administration.  The federal government is drowning in red ink, and most American's are going to have to fend for themselves.  I know of one Senior Living place in town, that doesn't subsidize anymore.  Their rent is a little bit below market value...the Great Society is slowly going away. 

Jobs Are Moving Out Of the Country, STUPID!
It's the responsibility of the worthless Congress, to keep the companies from moving out of the country, and they're not doing it.  If this terrible trend continues, I can see the economy going bust!  Everyone knows that the government 'cooks the books' to make the White House look good.  If the books were not tampered with, the enemployment numbers would probably be six or more points higher.  'Cooking the books' in the federal government, is normal as apple pie, etc.   

Ageism and Job Losses Contributed To My Downfall;  At the time of my first of six job losses, I was 48 years of age.  Never in my wildest dreams, did I suspect, that I would have to battle ageism, age discrimination to get a job...but I did.  Women have it more difficult than men.  When they get a gray hair at age 40 and because they are a women...is enough to have problems getting a job.  It was because of ageism, that I had problems getting a job, which lasted for nearly a decade. 

Swallowing My Pride While I Stood In a Soup Line;
I could never imagine myself, at the age of 60, getting in a big yellow bus at the homeless shelter, and going to have a meal and getting in a soup line at the Rescue Mission.  This all happened, after I was discharged from the VA hospital, after spending over 3 months in the hospital as a patient.  Life is so unpredictable...you just don't know what's going to happen to you along the way.  I've been there...I've done that...

POVERTY;  Will Work For Food!
In all my 66 years on the planet, I've never seen the economy and the American people is such trouble, as I've seen in the last few years.  I read someplace, that the standard of living had dropped 3 points in the past few years.  I believe it!  There are only two classes now...the rich...and the destitute/poor.  This won't change anytime soon, because, as I said earlier, the government 'cooks the books' so the White House looks good.  I've been there...I've done that...

U.S. Congress; The Best Little Whorehouse In Washington, D.C. 
I don't use profanity, so it makes it difficult to describe the worthless Congress and not use profanity.  I think this is the most worthless institution on the planet...all self-serving and a bunch of whores...all looking to get re-elected!  If American's are smart, they would throw the bums out and be done with it. 

Give Me Liberty...OR Give Me Debt!
This piece is mainly focused on the problems in Europe and Greece, which could affect the United States, etc.  Everyone knows that Greece is probably in trouble, because of corruption, and no amount of bail-out money is going to stabelize the situation.  There are many other governments in Europe and South America (Argentina) who are corrupt, and nothing will save them, in my view. 

Protesting:  The American's Are a Bunch of Candy-Asses;
In this piece, I scole the American people for suffering from couch potatoitis, laziness; and yawning the nation's problems away.  If the American people do not wake up from their 40 year nap...it will be all over but the shouting...

The American People Have a BIG Attitude Problem!
This piece is about the same, where I scold the American people, who are lazy!  The American people should not be protesting in Central Park in New York and on Wall Street.  They should be protesting in front the US Congress!  That's where all the regulations are made.  Everyone knows that the Congress and Wall Street are in bed together, but the protesting has to be done at the Congress. As I said earlier, I'm not an economist...but what would happen if all the Americans would pull all of their money out of the banks?  A.  The government would probably collapse!  The federal government relies on the banks to pay the bills of the government.   

Chemical Dumping:  They're Going To Kill Us All
This could be the most important issue facing the American people...their health and safety.  If the worthless Congress gets their way, they will probably try to eliminate the EPA (Enviorment Protection Agency) in the interest of jobs, etc.  In other words...when it comes to polluting the ground water or the air...the Congress will 'look the other way, and that can spell disaster for Americans.  I live just one mile from Kirtland AFB, in which a fuel spill of over 8 milion gallons, threaten the ground drinking water.  I've been on this project for over a year.  On the same land, site Sandia National Labs (run by the Energy Dept.) and is accused of illegal dumping...this time nuclear waste.  The worthless Congress could loosen the rules on dumping of chemicals and nuclear waste, and we all could be in trouble.  More cancers and brain tumers...as the worthless Congress 'looks the other way'  I think that's why Rick Perry of Texas, created so many jobs in that state...they 'looked the other way' when it came to environmental issues!  American's can't let that happen...it's all to make money for the rich and the few...

How Do You Spell Worthless?  U.S. C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S! 
If the American people throw out the worthless Republicans...they're replaced by the worthless Democrats...and if the worthless Democrats are thrown out by the worthless Republicans...the Republicans are worse. 

America;  Why Are There So Many Watch-Dog Groups? 
The answer is simple;  I can't speak for the American people, but I can say;  a person can't trust the federal government to do the right thing; the state government; the county governments or the city government, etc.  And, a person cannot trust the private sector, where corpoations are only interested in the bottom line, etc. 

OBITUARIES:  Two-Party System; US Congress;
With all the gridlock and fighting in the Congress, and putting the American people at risk, I see the end to the two-party system.  I have no idea what it should be...but the current system isn't working.  As far as the worthless Congress is concerned...there has to be a better way of doing things...again the Congress way of doing things is not working.  The Constitution has to be re-written, and we all have to start out all over again.  The Congress is a mega-center for the rich...and that has to change. 

American Capitalism: (DOA) Dead On Arrival;
Newspaper headline in this piece reads; "49 Million Americans Are Considered Poor Now"  That's because of the incredable greed by corporate America and Wall Street; The Congress and Wall Street are in bed together; and the American People have to tolerate a worthless and good-for-nothing Congress...etc...etc...etc...
