9 million unemployed.

11 million long term unemployed.

A minimum wage of $5.15 an hour or $10,000 a year.

3 million illegal immigrants entering each year.

A $500 billion deficit.

400,000 jobs lost in the textile industry recently.

1,000,000 jobs outsourced to China, India and Central America.

A $220 billion drug industry that spends most of its profits on cartoonish TV commercials.

A Federal no bid contract with the drug companies that awards them an extra $500 billion in revenue.

$300 billion spent in Iraq.

$1.2 billion spent every week in Iraq.

1650 dead American soldiers killed looking for WMD

100,000 dead Iraqis killed as "collateral damage" to liberate them.

A war with no end in sight.

An educational system that is pitiful.


Depressing isn't it?
