credit card companies in whose grip most people's financial lives hang by a thread.In fact, it would probably be safe to say that quite a few people may feel rather that they are the prime targets of a peevishly suspicious federal government which seems to have suddenly decided that its current worst enemy is the American citizen.
In the past few months, the government has accused its citizenry of defrauding corporations by filing for bankruptcy when they can no longer bear the crushing weight of catastrophic medical bills. Ordinary folks have also been derided for abusing Medicaid by asking it to pay for drugs that cost more than their

outsourcing to India. Big business has been asking its buddies in Washington for permission to import more foreign workers (euphemistically called foreign talent) through the H-1B visa program.

The public is being told that corporations can't find enough highly-skilled, technical workers to fill jobs whose description the companies won't tell them because it would be too much for American pea-brains to comprehend. Needless to say, they ain't qualified.
And what about those not-so-technical jobs being filled by illegal, I mean, legal immigrants?

Well, no surprise there.
