What has he delivered? Some bullshit "shovel jobs" and measures that will temporarily -very temporarily - slow down foreclosure rates.<br /><br />At some point, people are going to have to start doing more that complaining. They will need to hold mass protests, and physically prevent people from losing their homes, as happened in the 30's. That scared enough people back then to give the "middle class" and working man a reprieve.<br /><br />The reprieve is over.Jacob Gitteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559764359800682222noreply@blogger.com
