It’s not just the economy - it’s the contempt elites feel for those living in flyover.

“Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved regions like upstate New York.”

And thanks to Gov. Cueball permanently banning fracking, it will stay that way.

'The proof is in the pudding'. 0dunga's plan from day one was to undermine the middle class to make way for the lower class to dominate the American landscape. Almost ALL new jobs created since his taking office have been menial labor jobs. So, WHY did he focus so intently on nationalized health care from day one, and not jobs? Because he knew people would have no health insurance once he started KILLING MIDDLE CLASS JOBS ON PURPOSE.

CLOWARD & PIVEN, TOO! Bringing America to its knees in his view, right where it belongs.

It’s tough out there.

Officially, Obama tells us the economy is fine, unemployment is at 5%, yadda, yadda, yadda. Officially, Obama and his boys tell us that the economy is doing so well, but people’s experiences tell a different story.

Slightly off topic, but Hillary has said she has all these plans to help coal country, and even as a senator had all these plans for economic development in upstate New York.

Anybody believe that the policies of a president Hillary will help these economically depressed regions????

I am frustrated at the media for some things in this regard:

1. The media have not focused on the economic problems of this country during the Obama era.

2. The media have not told us that the Obamabots have changed the way key indicators such as the unemployment rate are calculated. So officially unemployment appears to be lower than it was in years past.

3. The media do not report certain facts at all, such as how the labor force participation rate has sunk to historic lows during the Obama era.

4. In spite of the quantatitive easing policies of the Fed, in which trillions of dollars are pumped into the economy, we see little inflation, which indicates a sluggish economy. The media don’t report this either.

I predict the media will change their reporting if Trump is elected. The media and Democrats will all of a sudden discover all these underlying economic problems, and then blame the Trump administration for not solving them pronto.

When a society measures the value of human life in only dollars and things, life loses it value to the society in a bad economy. When we measure ourselves based on the amount of money we make and things we own; when we lose them, we see our lives as of no value. Globalism has turned people into meaningless widgets. When we lose our hope and trust in the power of God to help us when we are down, we feel hopeless and poor. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

We are not the things we own. We are not the money we make. We are children of God with tasks, attributes and value that can not be measured in material by us nor the sick society we live in.

My husband is one of those statistics.

I have blamed the “Lyin’ King” since it happened.

I guess I am not alone.

The country is de industrializing on purpose supposedly because manufactures “can’t” make a big enough profit using US workers. Riiiiiight. For over 200 years they seemed to manage fine using using only US resources to make things here. Sorry “onerousness” regulations doesn’t cut it as an excuse..
