Bill O'Reilly said last night that Americans are texting too much instead of focusing on the economy. True?

TRANSCRIPT
"The nanny state economy driven by far left social justice people, wreaking havoc in the working class precincts -- that's the truth. But the truth is complicated. And with people spending so much of their time surfing the net, texting, watching garbage TV, many don't understand economics. Thus the false promise, the false promise of income equality is seducing some voters. "

If any of you texting addicts out there would look up from your screens for more than 5 seconds at a time you might actually notice that there are a lot of people who are so involved in electronic media that they have no idea what's going on in their immediate area, let alone in the country as a whole.

Pay attention to your real lives, because what goes on in your electronic fantasy lands isn't going to help keep you alive.

Any "attention" to what goes on around you is better than no attention at all!

The truth is INVESTMENT BANKERS blew it by selling, and buying DERIVATIVES they didn't understand themselves, and the WORKING-MAN has paid to safe the banks, paid to patch up the budget, paid to give their employer more 'breathing room'(or in a lot of cases more PROFITS, so DIVIDENTS to pay the share-holders).

So basically it doesn't matter how well WE're paying attention, we're paying for problems we didn't create, and we paid for it 3-4 times over.

Think about this, if people can afford the phones and the data plans to do the texting do you think the economy is that bad? It would seem to me if things were really bad people would be using their money to buy food not phones. Just saying.
