As the nation still marinates in high unemployment, it appears there are no significant improvements on the horizon. The national unemployment rate still sits at just above nine percent, and many of those who are fortunate to have a job are not receiving pay raises as costs rise steadily. Gas, food, and utility bills are increasing faster than you can say bullshit. Large corporations are recording record profits while large numbers of Americans are hitting rock bottom just trying to keep a roof over their head. It seems like there is no way out at the moment. Sure the people in politics can fuss over whose plans and ideas are the best; but is there really a quick fix for our poor economy? No there isn't a quick fix per se, but there is a fix. However, it will take a major decrease in corporate & political egos, as well as the willingness for monster sized corporations to not be so greedy. It’s hard to know when or if things will change, even after the next Presidential election as some are lead to believe. There needs to be enormous changes to the mindsets of the people in politics in order for positive change to happen. Though, there is just a small bit of sympathy for those in politics because they have to support our troops and the ridiculous budget for defense. Without the budget for supporting these erroneous wars hanging over America's head we'd be in a better predicament with more flexibility.
