Where and how will it all end?

The Fed now routinely bails out poorly run companies, whose CEOs rake in obscene amounts of money while making horrible business decisions.

Often, those decisions result in Americans losing their jobs, with these same handsomely paid executives subsequently off-shoring what's left. They then receive bonuses for their efforts or golden parachutes if fired.

Concurrently, the country accepts guest workers, who are in the United States illegally, providing them with free medical services (to which laid-off Americans aren't entitled) and their children with free public education (in whatever language they speak).

Throw in the hurricane driven destruction in New Orleans and Texas, together with our crumbling infrastructure (for which federal funding is in short supply), and it's clear that the future of this country is dismal.

Of course, the winner of the presidential election in November will be the messiah who will instantaneously correct all this, bringing all problems to an end!
