Why does the economy suck?

[WD-40]

You know...it doesn't help that there are soo many who are comfortable living on welfare collecting their 'free' [poo]. Just too lazy to even want to work. And it's been going on for decades. But this welfare system we have had for so long now, has made it very attractive to just sit on their butt and let Government take care of them, without even needing to try to get a job. A ready-made Democratic voter. I realized some are victims of circumstance, such as education, injury, mental issues and of course the onslaught of illegals sucking up many jobs. And millions that want jobs simply cannot find work...We need new direction...new ideas.

Worldwide currency (printed paper) is losing value because greedy governments continue to print more and more with no real value to support what they print. This includes America. Career politicians cannot and will not fix this. They will not because to do so will mean to be fired from their political career. Hence they can not because the ones who offer to fix it will never be elected because they are promising tough times and hardship. The greedy voters (yeah, that's right) refuse to elect anyone who is willing to rebreak the bone so it can heal properly. The media certainly won't allow it. You will vote for who they want you to vote for.

Anyone who has kids knows, you don't ask them "what do you want to drink?", you ask them "would you like orange juice or milk?".

So I would say that it all falls back to greed of which no one is innocent. The poor, the rich, blacks, whites, latinos, gays, straights, men, women, children, christians, muslims, atheists.....everybody is greedy. Some are just in a better position to exercise their greed more than others. And greed does not always equate to a desire of more money, keep that in mind.

Thanks for the mature responses so far in this thread, it's been interesting.
