Barack Obama has called on US banks to return a favor to Americans. He wants more lending to small businesses as a “thank you” for being bailed out. But average Americans are seeing just seeing the rich getting richer.
Let me peer into my crystal ball in a nonarrogant but angry way. The wars will continue to drain us. Since our economy is based off of war and Hollywood, this is bad because the balance is off. Civil unrest will grow in this country and the military will have to deal with it, which will suck all the troops from the Middle East.
That sound you keep hearing, you know, the one that's getting louder...? That's the sound of angry citizens sharpening their pitchforks and grumbling about quid pro quo inside the belt. Glad I'm not a CONgressman.
I am not a middle class American. I still only make a little over eight dollars an hour and I truly do feel the stress of trying to make it like so many americans today. I have a sick brother and my gas and electric are very difficult to maintain even with his small monthly income. I hope that this does not last very much longer or there are going to be even more people hurting . President Obama please help us.
It's a re-make of the movie Escape from New York.
