I have a 28 year old nephew who lost his job last week at Apple. Did he lose it to an illegal? Was it because he wasn't qualified? No- it probably had to do with his nightly drinking, heavy pot smoking and late hours. Think I misspeaking? No, I just need read his Facebook page. Poor him.

Before you blame Obama, I suggest you look at Congress and their failed policies. Obama does not pass laws, he signs them. And nothing put on his desk has been vetoed. Stop repeating the party line and look at facts.

How's that misinformation working for you? there are roughly 12 million, not 30 million illegals here. Of those, not all work, not all are old enough and some are too old.

The word is Morale- and that in its self says it all!

As for those that say winter's are long (imisstgifonabc), winter is long in a lot of places- that doesn't mean kids shouldn't learn. We have an educatio...more

Why do so many compare 2007 to a usual recession and not the Depression of 1929 - the closest thing we have had to what recently transpired? The fact is, we are on track (and ahead) of that recovery. And given the knowledge we have from the past, Congress and Corporate America are the ones to blame for not spending mor...more
