Thread: Maybe this financial disaster will wake up sheeple Americans

I praying something good comes out of this subprime financial mess...The sleeping American sheeple having their pockets picked by the crooked bankers and politicians, might be a wake up call!

Tragically, I am going to say that I doubt that 80% of the people in this country have any real clue as to what is happening. In fact, that 80% may be much higher.
The term sheeple is too close to the truth.

Hopefully, the Average american will wake up and relize both Republicans and Democrates are responsible for the Horrid state of affairs this country is in. Its time for a third political Party to step in, but that will take time which we're running out of

Maybe THIS is the MIRACLE I have been praying for all along.

COULD THIS BE AN EARLY OCTOBER SURPRISE?!

VOTE FOR CHUCK BALDWIN!

I hope you are right. But, people are blaming the current administration. This goes back much farther than the current administration. The bulk of Americans have no idea that past policies impact current events the way they do. Again, that is tragic. I truly wish I understood economics more at my stage in life.

oh, possibly we are all led around blindly and fleeced over and over again? (MOD EDIT) we will suffer.

and also, our vast # and volume seem to dampen the effect of all that really hurt the USA. the word simply cannot reach the multitude in any quick way. there are latent effects to these measures our "government" are taking to stabilize the economy. it looks like socialisim to me.

Right on, draindog. We are being led around by the nose and told to shut up and pay up to counter this mess. Well I really want to know what the pudding I am paying for and buying in this bailout of these companies. I need more transparency as far as the underlying problem, but all I have been able to find on the net is the severe urgency that congress needs to act immediately, before taking time to think about anything.
All of this will not end well, will affect generations to come and will turn us into a standard of living we are not accustomed to.

Yes, Vortex, the "urgency" is extremely troubling. The lack of oversight is also troubling. But our Congress thinks money grows on trees, and that the well is ever filling. No one could run a household budget like this idiot Congress and administration. We have to pay our debts for lordy sake, or risk losing everything.
Congress is out of control. This administration is out of control. Hmmm, our country has been out of control for years and we had no clue I am really thinking.

by the time the whole mass finds out we are ALL SCREWED,it will be slightly less than too late. i am worried about these actions now taken by the gov. winter is gonna set in, and folks need the system to operate correctly.a stumble at the wrong season can be catastophic.
