Yes, I think I will have a side of bacon with that ego. I've EARNED it. I have two college degrees. I know what I'm talking about.

Congrats. I got those and am nailing my MA as well.

We aren't as rich as the media likes to let us think we are. We're rich in corruption with the politics, but not as a country. Ok, we have Bill Gates, Hollywood, and some select. Yet we have more poor that are getting poorer as the rich are getting richer. But those are the citizens; not the country. America is too poor to help its schools, give medical treatment and foods to those who need it, and help those retire at a reasonable age. Former military personnel retire from the military and end up working as janitors at a Shop Rite because their pensions aren't helping them.

Social security is a joke. Unless you were parented by an illegal citizen, this country can't help you.

Oh, I'm Scott Barnes, I am an assistant at Montclair State University. I work in the history department and I know what I am talking about; I've done lectures on this. I researched NYC after September 11.

Our deficit is not because of the WTC going down but because of bad government spending and jobs being outsourced. We owe Japan and China a ton of money. The Euro is worth more than the American dollar.

Guys like me and Putrescent are suffering to get medical insurance and treatments because the economy has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Real estate is losing value.

I know plenty of people that have two or more college degrees that can't find jobs in the Tri-State area. They end up flipping burgers. I also know many people that have PhDs and know less than a preschooler. Sadly, our economy and culture is hanging on by a thread. We have politicians that never held a sword telling our soldiers what to do. We have the rich in office knowing how to squeeze more money into their pockets and drain our pockets.

Tuition costs are increasing, financial aid is decreasing. Foreign employment is gaining while homeland unemployment is increasing rapidly.

America's not that rich. We're slowly but surely losing our hold on being a superpower. I hope the next elections give us hope and not two jokers to vote for.

By the way, Uncle Sam said he can't afford that piece of bacon. He hopes this coupon works for you...


I hope things on your end as happy as you make them out to be. Living in the tri-state area is impossible. I lived in the metropolitan, the suburban, the urban, and the downtowns of NJ to understand this. Things aren't getting better up here. Well paying jobs are scarce. Countless college degrees are worthless than a TNM character to Peter Laird.

Seriously, CJJ. I hope things are going good for you because the rest of the nation is going under a recession.
