Lifting the veil on we use credit when we cant afford it?

 My comment to Huffington Posts Article by Mark Gongloff titled Household Debt Is Still Too Damn High.

Without jobs, without good paying jobs, or for those of us that are unemployed, we use what little we can manage to find, to scrap up, or to borrow. Those Americans that are using credit and going farther in debt are people trying feed themselves, their spouses and their children. To keep a roof over their heads, their spouses and their children; the scary part is soon, the credit will stop for those as their balances bloom and interest and interests rates soar...and then what?

So many communities in America suffer under this plague. As they keep all of us Middle Class, Working Class Poor and the Poor at each others throats, fighting over abortions and gun control laws, instead of fighting against the Profiteering Banks, Wall Street and their Cronies on the Left and the Right in our Government.

I hope one day soon, we all will be able to wake up and see thorough the smoke and the wool that has been pulled over our eyes, to change this road we are on...a road to servitude and debtors prisons. I didnt join the Military in my youth for this kind of history and future...this is not the America I grew up believing in.

Perhaps soon the tide will turn and those spirits that have been broken within our fellow men and women, will find the strength to right our wrongs and remove all the money from politics; those that have been bought, those that serve only their greed...”

Dear Mr. Manning, an apology that you deserve.

Dear Mr. Manning,

It is I who would like to apologize to you. Im sorry. I am sorry that more people in America did not have the courage to stand with you and behind you. For these wars were created on lies only to perpetuate our War Machine and the Greed of the 1% and their Cronies. I am sorry that more of us Veterans did not find the courage to do so either. I served in combat during the Persian Gulf War. I am sorry that our politics of interference and destabilization techniques towards Middle Eastern Countries put you and your brother and sisters at harm, yet again, causing you to take this enormous risk to stand behind the the 'real' values that America likes to say she believes in; even though we are a "Do as I say, not as I do" Country.

You stood up for the real values of human life and we turned our backs on you...especially those of us on the Left. For its not so hard to understand why those on the Right fall in tow behind the Puppet Masters. But for those of us on the Left, we should all be ashamed that we did not take to the streets and scream at Washington for the actions that they are involved in, and in your defense.

My apologizes to you, and your family.  Eternally grateful to you and ashamed of what we did not do for you.
