No, Romney didn't just lose the election.  He's just saying what a lot of Americans are thinking.  47% of Americans do not pay income tax.  Food Stamps and Government programs account for a large portion of government spending.   8,786,049 Americans are collecting disability right now.  The number exploded after unemployment benefits expired.  Currently, there are 16 people working for every 1 person collecting benefits. 


There's a couple of nations sweeping for mines in the Persian Gulf.  Iran would be the one they're thinking might be laying mines.  Is Iran already laying mines?  Is this further along than we all think it is?  Maybe Americans aren't as aware of things as we like to think we are.


The protests in China against Japan are getting a little more intense.  For news of this magnitude to come out of China in such detail says something about the magnitude of the protests.  From, and in, a nation where news that shows it in a negative light just doesn't see the light of day.


Suzuki has halted operations at one of it's plants in china due to security concerns.  This is going to really help the economic problems in Japan, and the employment issues in China.  More tension ahead.


In news that's not news, European car sales fell by 8.5%, an 11th straight month of declining sales.  Ford was the worst with a 29% decline. 


Fedex says the economy is worsening and has cut it's outlook.  They seem to think the economy is worsening......still.  Fedex is seen as a bellwether for the economy.
