4. The worse part of this is that I don't see any prospects of the economy getting any better for us common folk.

This Administration is sure the hell not capable (or willing) to fix things.

The rich are eating all the value in this country. The poor are getting poorer. Opportunities are drying up. The people in charge of our government are there to serve only the rich.

There is a long-term trend transferring wealth from the people who produce goods and services to the people who invest in selling goods and services. That trend is accelerating. Within a year or two, we will have trillionaires. Next will be multi-trillionaires. There is not enough money on earth to satisfy the greed of the richest.

"They" have a lock on this country. Resistance is tepid. Proposed reforms just chew at the edge of the problem.

As a nation of the people, by the people, for the people, we have fallen and we can't get up.
