Empty promises election after election, when will elected officials get a backbone and start doing what is right for America? Instead we have seen jobs go overseas, the middle class getting a lot smaller, and Americans bailing out the same companies that our government wanted to privatize our social security with. Their pockets are lined so much from lobbyist and big businesses they cannot make the right decisions for America.

CEOs are moving jobs overseas, because they say they are globalizing their marketing base (cheaper labor). If this were true than the product would be sold over there and not brought back to the United States for sale. The government could put taxes on those products to help drive down some of America's debt, instead they choose to build other economies including communist ones. China cannot even make candy, powdered milk, etc. without contamination. Now American businesses are building up China to make pharmaceutical and orthopedic implants.

Democrats/Republicans you need to grow some and start making the United States strong again for your grandchildren and the next generation of Americans.
