    The Anti-Americans

    There was a time when an event that caused a national crisis occurred the people we hired to manage our living conditions would make moves to correct the conditions . They were real Americans . What we have now is a gang operating for and racking in the cash from foreign lands and corporations . Operating clandestinely and openly to peel off more and more of American land , business , and jobs . Truman and Nixon both were Americans that made adjustments to prevent onditions similar to what we exsist with now . The present admin and their aides in congress care not about Americans . In this time of lose of income for Americans and higher cost of living not one penny has been cut from the money appropriated for foreign lands . Just think about this . WE BORROW MONEY TO GIVE AWAY , SOME OF WHICH IS KICKED BACK TO OUR LAW MAKERS . When the old politicians are proclaiming experience , keeping this business going is what they are talking about .
