Should anyone be surprise that the latest economic news, particularly regarding employment and housing, is not that good.

The truth is far too many bad decisions have been made over the past few decades which have led to the present state of the country. The Republican-controlled Congress has been concentrating on ways to topple the presidency rather than working to do what is best for the country.

As a people we need to get over our narrow way of thinking and to look at the whole not just the parts.
