Heavy Hitters!

This is all thanks to president Barak Obamas ..CHANGE policy.

EDINBURGH, Ind.— The return of the Elkhart-based Indiana National Guard’s 1538th Transportation Company from Iraq this week was a joyous occasion. About 400 friends and family members lustily cheered and applauded the unit’s 182 citizen-soldiers as they marched in formation into a hangar at Stout Field in Indianapolis.

The gathering might have been even more boisterous were it not for the realization that these Guardsmen are coming home to face a new enemy — a swooning economy that has landed like a KO’d heavyweight on the canvas of their home towns.

The 1538th sustained no casualties during its almost 10 months in Iraq ferrying supplies and providing security for U.S. military convoys, perhaps in part by obeying its unofficial motto, “Drive it like you stole it.” But the same can’t be said for the jobs its members left behind.

Forty-six soldiers — fully 25 percent of the company — have no work awaiting them, including many whose jobs vanished while they were heeding their nation’s call.

Those jobs would have disappeared whether they were home or not. Being deployed - as sucky and dangerous as it is - at least gave them a pay check longer than they would have gotten if they had been at home. They and their family members also had insurance and medical coverage.

I was always told it takes 9 months to make a baby, give yourself 9 months to get back in shape. It took YEARS to get our economy where it is now, it's going to take a long time to get it to a healthy state.

The economic colapse was caused by one event. One year ago, tommorrow. When this idiot is gone from office on 1-20-13 and markets understand they can get an honest return on a fair investement, prosperty will return.

It is ALL the democrats' fault. Recovery begins when they are gone.
