The Economy Blues

It bites when the buying market is slow and stagnant, it hits the major factory companies very hard and makes a bunch of us little hard workers worried about having a job to go to and showing up to every day. I may not like where I work at, at least it gets the bills payed, gas in the tank, and food on the table, even the job market is slumping everywhere you look.
Last year around this time where I work at would be taking off to overtime hours which would be nice... however why is money and finances important in this day and age?
At one time or another the hunters, crop growers, and gatherers would not need money just a market for trade goods and a place to barter at.
Are we heading in that direction again, where history repeats itself again with another depression?
Politics are no better either, this year is a major one where both sides bashes the other and is going to make me either vote for someone else or not at all with the negative adds on TV saying that the Republicans are better than the Democrats and vise verse.
Why not let both parties run this country to Hades the fiery inferno below and hand it over on a silver platter.
Most likely neither one would know what to do when the 2012 Mayan or Inca prophecies come true....
