Violence is up in the U.S...

I just heard on CNN it has been up for sometime. So why is it up if the economy is so good.

1. The economy is good?

Jeez. My credit cards (all 2 of 'em) are maxed, I have no money, gas here is still above $2.50 per gallon, Christmas sales are way down........... I musta missed something.

I also believe the general despair of the population has given many a "to hell with it" outlook. Since the big corporations and the politicians can get away with just about anything and never face justice, why shouldn't they get theirs, too?

3. Wait until next year....

we will be hearing more and more about this so called good economy. With all of these layoffs all over the country and people who are off of the unemployment rolls we will see more of the effects. People are desperate and now are committing crime on every level.Look at the homeless..They are busy trying to convince us to shop. I heard that sales are down now all of the chickens are coming home to roost...All of the bush lies are just beginning to be exposed in a major way...
