Backlash

The recent explosion of disgruntled Americans demonstrating at the occupy wall street rallies shows the extent of public disdain for inept decision making made by the Obama, and Bush administrations. People are as mad as hell and they are not going to take it anymore, and can you really blame them?. With the housing market still in limbo, unemployment at over 9%, student loan debt surpassing all combined credit card debt for the first time ever at over one Trillion dollars, and the never ending rise in the price of essential goods and services Americans are feeling the squeeze as never before. All the while they have endured the bailout and appeasement of banks, and public and private Titans alike. The situation could quite possibly take a turn for the worse, just as we have seen the recent overthrow of governments that have been in place for almost a half century in Egypt and Libya. We have sold out the value of our own currency, outsourced our morals and ethics as never before, and are now feeling the ramifications of such decisions. Anti-American sentiment is spreading at an alarming rate across the globe as we force our belief systems on other Nations in the name of Democracy. This process is not helping our own situation at home as this economy and country continues to decline.
