The nation at war

No I am not talking about our wars of oil, or any war abroad. I am talking about the class war where ground zero is Madison and my husband's income is at stake.

We have actually been in a class war since Reagan busted the union over thirty years ago. The ante was upped by Bush and his tax cuts to the wealthy, and even Clinton's trade agreements. The middle class has been struggling to keep their standard of living and along comes the housing crisis.

First we had to take second job, with practically everyone needing a two income family. Then we had to work longer hours at these jobs for less pay. Then we simply had to borrow because we could not possibly work anymore. Then the debt option was taken away.

So here we are, busted, tired, out of options and here come the new republicans to try to deliver the death blow. If they succeed this country will never be the same. I do not know how so many people carry on with their days. I cannot sleep a full night anymore, even with sleeping pills.

I still cannot understand the evil mind of those so greedy to do this.
Or the working class that support this war agains them. I believe Jesse Jackson called them turkeys celebrating their own thanksgiving

God/ess protect us all
