"I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."-Groucho Marx

The following comes from INAFJ.org and is, I think, well written and insightful.

As families suffer, our political leadership seems content with their dysfunctional posturing. Together we can set the record straight, or at least just make fun of it.

• Stupid is believing the problems we have can be solved by the same people that created them.


• Crazy is saying you're going to create jobs by spending unimaginable amounts of money that you borrow from the very same people (China) that you gave all the jobs to.


• Sick is the billions of tax payer dollars spent on bailing out the financial institutions, while their own immeasurable greed was responsible for the collapse of America's future.


• Tired is listening to career politicians saying one thing while doing another, most having never created a job or felt the burden of meeting a payroll.


• Inexcusable is the rape of the US Treasury in plain sight and in broad daylight.


• Apparent is the government's responsibility to stop digging a hole that the American people have no chance of getting out of, as they have proven time and time again that they are the worst managers of everything.


• Unbelievable are the economic policies that have forced 65% of the manufacturing jobs in America to low wage countries over the last decade.


• Betrayal is the feeling you live with while watching elected officials seek all the glory and take none of the blame.


• Insane is the unemployment rate amongst the youth in America, hovering currently at around 27%


• Unforgivable is burdening America's youth with the enormous and continuously growing national debt.


• Cynical is what you become after witnessing the destruction of American exceptionalism and realizing that you are a casualty of a handful of greedy animals feeding on the soul of a great nation.


• Obvious is the government's need to get out of the way so that inventive young entrepreneurial Americans have the opportunity to stimulate an economy that produces jobs.


• Catastrophic is being a recent college graduate with diminished opportunities and the real obligation to repay educational debt.


• Unacceptable is being a voiceless bystander to the greatest injustice in American history.


• Simple is remembering that honest American people are the ones that made this country great.


• Certain is knowing that together we can reclaim America and the promise for the opportunity to prosper.

Bottom Line

"Here's the thing. Nothing matters if people aren't working. We need to make some noise. The government is absolutely broken. If we work together maybe we can get these posers out of the way. Sign the petition. Buy a t-shirt. Upload a video. Be a friend. Start a movement." - INAFJ.org
