Chuck Schumer: We Think Nation Is In GREAT SHAPE

  1. One day I was in a parking lot, reading a book, and across from me a SUV pulled in and three guys got out and I looked up it was Schumer, I thought "gees, I could go and meet this guy, first hand".

    I didn't. I said " Fk it, what's the point".

    It's a confidence game. And guys like Obama and Schumer are Con Men.

    I guess, to be fair, the incumbent president's party needs to paint the economy rosier than it actually is in an effort to get people doing things to improve economic conditions and to help prevent further weakening.

    But, they also need to take actions to solve our crisis's such as getting entitlement growth under control and putting us on a sustained path to get the debt under control. As it is, neither are being accomplished.

  4. I saw him in a parade. I thanked him for his service. He has done a lot to help regular folks.

    Well that's it. Ofuckwad has done nothing to help the economy. All they do is talk it up = guilty.
