Economy is kicking people's butts

I hear the PTB that's the powers-that-be talking about the debt ceiling and taxes, etc. Obviously the politicians have no idea what's happening on the street. Working as a gold and silver buyer, I constantly have people selling gold and silver to cover living expenses, as their job, or lack of one, isn't keeping up.

We need a president like Ron Paul who is committed to cutting spending, returning our troops, ceasing the ridiculous Empire building that has gone on for decades, and making America competitive again. That may mean shrinking government, but I for one am ready to see the government small again.
