    Comment: Listen up all you people of the United States of America. Talking about "FREE TRADE" this is what President Bush said. Yet, this is what is taking most of our jobs away from us. They big guys are outsourcing our jobs and yet we people are not doing anything about it because we are still putting this A *holes politician in office. Our jobs are going to China, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Bangladesh etc. etc etc. We keep buying foreign made goods, causing most of our jobs to go overseas and it is not surprising why most of us do not have jobs and unemployed. Everybody wants to go to Walmart to buy cheap stuff we do not care about the quality anymore like american made products and jobs staying in the country. This problem is just going keep going on and on and on if we people us USA will not do something about with our politicians in congress. One of these days th great United States of America will be a third world country. How sad.

    Comment: newsflash!!!! everyone has access to free healthcare if they want it. They only need visit their local emergency room/clinic. You see, moron, we pay for healthcare for the uninsured one way or the other. Also, it would behoove greedy corporate america to, without prompting from the government, provide insurance to their hard working employees. Oh- But that would be one less luxury home, luxury car, luxury jet, etc,etc, etc. We couldn't havet that could we. I pray that someday you face some of the issues that the average hardworking americans are facing now. Everyone is not on welfare. Alot of americans work very hard and are not compensated as they should be. You are a disgrace.

    Comment: Go to PickensPlan.com for a positive step toward energy independence. In the short run it's a positive move for all American's, something we can do together and in the long run will help our economy. I would have like to see some of the 700 Billion bail-out used to upgrade the electrical grid creating jobs.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
