It's gonna get worse before it gets unbearable

What a way to lower unemployment Mr. President. To send the American economy into being barely on life support. More than half a million Americans just said F it I can't find a job. Imagine, 540,000, a mid-sized city in the United States completely without work. Also those 540,000 have little if not any means of support their unemployment benefits have dried up. An entire city now broke with little hope on the horizon for a rescue. What would a city look like if it's citizens were unemployed in that fashion. Oh wait Detroit! Detroit has almost twenty percent unemployment. The city is bankrupt. The population is jumping ship. Detroit has not been this empty in a hundred years. Today Michigan is so desperate that it has passed a right to work law just to attract businesses back. I think it will help now that unions can't force you to be a part of them. Rampant crime and terrible corruption is what's happening in Motown today. That could be the future for many cities here. The rust belt first, then California.

Drudge reported today that the unemployment fell for a specific sector of the job market, government workers. Am I crazy or does this sound exactly what crazy Socialist countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal did. Government became those countries main or first line employer for the population. Extravagant hiring and benefits for those workers destroyed the once deep pockets those countries had. Now sadly they are killing themselves in the streets because of the loss of hope in circumstances changing. With all of the writing on the wall for everyone, this administration continues to drive us towards that grand canyon, I'm sick of the work cliff. Socialism has failed in every country it has infected. Why oh Lord, why did half of our country think that it could possibly work here? I know why. I blame it on one hundred percent pure cowardice. Our citizens have become fearful and weak. We have lost our pioneering and innovating ways.

I am not sure if we will ever get it back. We have become to cut off and sheltered with our smartphones and tablets. Look around your home, your work place or even walking the street. Do you see anyone talking or interacting with anyone else? If it isn't through a machine we don't want to communicate. These amazing technologies that were made to enhance our lives is now robbing us of the ability to reach out on an emotionally human tactile manner. I believe that if we just take the Bluetooth out, turn of the Droid and IPhone off and just look up and around our minds and imaginations would begin to work again. We would look at our fellow man again in the face and learn empathy again. That empathy would lead some out there to have compassion which leads to ideas on how to get us out of this never ending nightmare. I just had a curious thought. I have never seen pictures of people like Steve Jobs, Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, actually carrying around and using the technology so many of us are addicted to. It is because it is the mind that creates not the creation.
