A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    @Retzilian

    I'm sorry that you are going through that. I think my area is facing the same thing. Everything was based on the principle that gas would stay cheap and home prices could only go up.

    I watched the attached video(it's about 10 minutes long and very well done) and it's naming where I live "Foreclusure Alley". Watching the trash crews throw everything away was disheartening.

    I think cultural conservative Calvert may not be able to get as many voters to go along with the status quo as he thought.
