During the great depression, many Americans lost their life savings due to the great stock market crash and the failure of many of the nation's banks. This resulted in one of the depression's most enduring legacies: the reluctance of many people who suffered this fate to invest their future earnings in the stock market, or, in many cases, even put them in the bank. We've all heard the stories about descendants of depression era survivors finding huge amounts of cash in the homes (hidden in the walls, buried in the yard, etc.) of relatives after their deaths. Of course people in later generations thought this was silly and couldn't understand why someone would essentially hide their money under the mattress rather than invest it to make more. But to those who experienced total loss of their money, it made perfect sense. To put it simply, they were afraid of losing their money again and hiding it in their homes was the only way they saw to prevent this. Fear is a powerful motivator.

Ask anyone you know who is in banking, corporate finance, or operates their own business and you’ll find this is true. Businesses are scared to death of what Obama is doing and they’d rather sit on cash than invest when the country is being “ruled” by a despot who is so out of touch and forcing an ideological agenda on the nation.
November is the only lever we have to avoid 2 more years, and even then it depends on the Republicans growing a pair.
This great country deserves an American as president.
Not some foreign tempered, Islam, slime-ball, Commie, Chicago thug.
Bump!
Why paint a target on your back for the traitorous poser to aim at? Simply fly under the radar, keep your money to yourself and let all those hopey changey people fend for themselves.
From Mrs. Palin’s interview,
“.... this great country that we still live in and that we’re going to take back.”
That is the kind of certainty and positive thinking
that we need to hear.
I'm not to optimistic about that.
the video of Madam President was great....she was just great, and the interviewer should be watched by Billy boy, whom I am losing respect for....(But my gut tells me he was practicing Sarah for her defense with others)
So far, no Palin bashing on this thread. How refreshing.
Obama’s Cloward-Piven model for the destructive transformation of America promotes, faciitates, causes and feeds on chaos and uncertainty.
He’s not opposed to jobs. He’s just opposed to profits. He doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t have one without the other, though.
