This is an election year, the Republicans can't afford for this to happen, yet. Give it at least til the middle of next year, let's not be hasty and make us more depressed.

I just talked to a buddy of mine that was trying to put his foot in the door on banking. Not anymore!
He told me that it is a "no Billionaire left behind act".
They are bailing out all of the foreign investors and billionaires, and we are going to get stuck with the bill.
Yah, I think you are right debate we should think positive while we are bent over a barrel of oil and getting railed by the powers to be. We shouldn't say anything and just take it like good slaves.
The economy is going down and all of the top economists know it.
Does anyone in this country actually know what is going on, or is it just a few of us? Have we been that dumbed down?
This is socialism for god's sakes..NO NO it is worse. It is looking like fascism now.
Keep your cash. It will be good for playing monopoly.

I will be a good slave and keep myself bent over the oil barrels. I think that it is still going to be interesting to see what comes up here in the next couple of weeks. I am glad I have a job and at the top of seniority.
I fear it is going to be a rough road ahead we are do over do our wages and housing prices are way out of balance and that will be changed one way or the other. Yearly I watch my big production customers head far south and over seas.
If all we do is export raw goods we are doomed just ask Jamaica.

Anyone living beyond their means (I would guess a good majority of the nation) are going to be in for a rude awakening. I'm glad that at least I am in a profession that does relatively well in hard times. Unfortunately the harder things are the more work I get.

Who did not suffer in the first depression, the rich. Who has the money and the stockpiles, the rich. Who is making it more difficult tp live each day, the rich. You want a better America, do something about the rich!

There are a lot of rich people that a re good ethical people. It is the criminals that I am not happy with. I don't have a problem with the rich people that have gotten that way with hard work and business ethics.
But you are right in the sense that it is the super rich that have manipulated us and use us like animals. Otherwise known as the "Elites".
