It is refreshing to see and hear a conservative speaking as a Gov leader, instead of lambasting the president for the sake of lobbyist money. I know both sides are guilty, but I thought it took courage at some level.

This back and forth with Republicans and Democrats seems to escape you so-called intellectuals as a ploy to distract. What does it matter that one man one whom is a Republican says the another man whom is a Democrat isn't at fault for the mess? What does it change? Nothing. Both parties are at fault for allowing the richest country in the world to slip into this hole. But the leadership will go back and forth and back and forth with this game. And the followers will go back and forth and back and forth with this game.

Can't you see that's the whole design it's to keep you occupied with human being natural tendency to compete with each other and take sides. But there's only one side when all the smokes clears that's the truth.

One thing that I never hear any speak about or even attempt to realize in this equation. The fact that companies are allowed to look at a person credit report to determine if they will be a good candidate for a position. Think about it, if the majority of those whose homes have been foreclosed on, long term unemployment are people of color and those same people would have had to forgo paying credit card bills (if they have any) just to maintain. It will clearly reflect in their credit scores, which do not tell the whole story about what has occurred in someone's life. Those same people will never have an opportunity to explain their situation because they won't get an interview. This process does not adequately reflect if a person will be a great worker or an asset to any company. It's just like taking a test, there are some people that are great test takers, but don't know the content when asked to explain. There are others that don't test well (test anxiety) but know the content like the back of their hands.
Even if more jobs are created, I feel that many people of color will still be left behind with a system that allows something like this to be used as a tool to determine if someone is will be employable. Just my thoughts.
