To your rock of ages, a-typical American, it’s close to impossible to explain why this is of such paramount importance to the country, and why it’s such an issue with those who have chosen to understand it, and why it’s important to not just the U.S..
Bluntly put, most Americans just do not want to do the jobs that immigrants do willingly. Why is this? Well, it’s a combination of history and power. They have the Soft skills training to Read the rest of this entry »

Daily we’re quoted by government some number or other, telling us exactly what the government wants us to think regarding the current state of employment in the country today. However, if you recall, it was a little known or remembered accountant, manipulating figures and numbers, that caught Al Capone, not one of the hot shot detectives.
So bluntly said, you CAN manipulate figures to show trends and facts the way that you want them to be viewed. Doesn’t take any Read the rest of this entry »

In the United States, there is one demographic that bears the brunt of socioeconomic problems. It’s not the poor living in caravans or even on the street, (as they can turn to government resources), and it’s certainly not the rich, (for obvious reasons). Instead, it’s the group that appears to have it all– the middle class American.
The middle class American lives life through a façade. They have the cars, the fancy houses and good jobs, but they have no Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier today I read an article about a West Virginia lawmaker who wants to ban the sale of Barbie. Why? In his opinion Barbie’s looks gives girls the wrong impression about beauty. Instead of teaching girls how to appreciate their inner-talents, Barbie puts too much emphasis on the physical; something people can’t help.
Now, on one hand I have to applaud this senator for trying to find ways to address body image issues. But banning Barbie? That’s WAY too extreme. Read the rest of this entry »

I believe Americans got it right when they voted for Obama. He’s smart, and appears to have genuine compassion for the average American citizen. However, as of yet I don’t believe he or anyone else in the government has come up with a real, viable solution for fixing the American economy. Instead of trying to improve the financial situation for the little guy, he passes stimulus packages that help bail out big corporations. This has already been done by Bush Read the rest of this entry »

£684 or a Man’s Life: The Saddest Story of American Corporate Greed
In Bay City, Michigan, a 93-year-old Veteran froze to death in his home. And no, it wasn’t because of an accidental power outage or a freakish blizzard. Instead, it was because the man had failed to pay his electric bill. In total, this bill was a mere £684, (or $1,000 U.S. dollars).
That’s right– the electric company responsible for this atrocity actually cut power to the man’s home, Read the rest of this entry »

Before 2005 homeowners could file bankruptcy without losing their houses, commercial property or their mortgages. This provided protection on two fronts. For the homeowner the protection is obvious, as they got a chance to keep their most valuable asset. And for the banks, there was no harm in losing the mortgage, which meant more income in their pocket.
Well, enter George Bush who cared more about corporate interests than the American people. While on one hand holding back on the Read the rest of this entry »

According to Sean Gabb, author of “Barack Obama: An English View,” the British opinion of Obama can be divided into two categories. The first regards him as a combination of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela– a savior of both Blacks and Americans in general. The second view is not as politically correct, as some believe Obama is like any other stereotypical black person, who will either be too radical in the Black Power Movement or too ignorant to really Read the rest of this entry »

Republican Lawmaker Ted Stevens, who was convicted earlier this year of felony corruption charges, seems to have been defeated in his quest to become re-elected. Despite his hair loss problem Mark Begich, a Democrat, has claimed victory in the race according to a press release from the Democrat’s campaign. Unofficial results coming in from state officials do seem to collaborate with Begich’s claim.
As to why the results are coming in now, a good two weeks after the election: absentee Read the rest of this entry »

Holder, who is in the process of being vetted, has stated he would accept the job if asked. If indeed Holder is confirmed as is being reported by major news sources, he would continue the political trend of making history in this election season by become the first African-American to hold the job.
