The stockmarket tanked to near 8k and is now near 16k.There are some folks doing quite well. There are also a lot of vets coming back from overseas to a nation that has no jobs for them. Over 20 a day are killing themselves due to stress and hopelessness. Then there’s the rest of our neighbors in need of the kind of jobs this nation produced after WW2.I encourage people who really want to see the middle class restored to contact their legislators and demand higher import taxes especially for items made overseas by US companies. Import jobs, not products.Respectfully,C.

Wrong the “yellow” ones are 240V High pressure sodium bulbs and the white are 240v Metal Halide. I guess you don’t know as much either.

Like most American I am making more but it is buying less.

Thank you DaSharkie,It is also my understanding that some of the suicides include Vietnam vets, Kuwait vets, and others.The failure of Congress AND the President to force and empower the Veteran’s Administration to take care of our nation’s veterans is an obscenity. Rome didn’t fall to barbarians, Rome fell to soldiers who came home to an ungrateful society that broke its promises to take care of them in exchange for their service to the empire. My daughter did three tours and while she’s whole in body and mind, I know others who are not. Of my nine issues, caring for our Veterans and their families is number three.Thank you for your link, your thoughtful and well stated reply, but most of all…Thank you for your service. We, as a people, are unworthy of the quality of what you and your brothers in arms have sacrificed on our behalf. Whether it’s pushing paper in an office for a year while your children grow up without you, or lying in trenches exchanging fire with enemies, you represent what is best and most honorable about our people.Sincerely,C.
