Yeah I was happy with most of it, but once I hit eight... Socialism.. not so much. Actually, any type of socialism that is going to be put into the system is going to take away from the rest of the ideas that might do some good (at least in my opinion)

Lots of truth to this article, albiet comical in a not-so-comical situation.

I hope, as things get worse, that I can be as flippant about things. But, I’m a little worried. Having two kids and wife to support will do that to anyone. (Fortunatley, my wife can make an entire dinner out of sticks and stones. She bakes bread from scratch!)

My family is in reasonably good shape, as compared to some others. I still have work, but it’s in the higher end retail world and depends upon people buying the usual stuff. That may not be sustainable for long.

Our sales are off $25 million this year, which is atoundingly good, compared to my region. My job, if it ends, would be as the guy turning off the lights and locking the door. (Actually, all the doors on 17 buildings)

But, where to go from that day forward is the big concern. Kids to feed, and all. Hope it doesn’t come to that, but who can be sure? Stocking up on can goods while I can.

Good luck to everyone, we’re all gonna need it.

They pushed Humpty Dumpty off the wall to get Obama elected. And now all Obama’s horses and all Obama’s men are scratching their heads wondering if they can put Humpty back together again.

“Yes we can,” say they. No, they probably cannot, and they know it.

I wonder how long it will be before starving people start hunting down the perpetrators of this catastrophe?

People like Bawney Fwank and Chucky Schumer should not be allowed to benefit from the crises that they created.

They shouldn't even be allowed to survive it.

There’s an “upside” to 25% unemployment (comparable to the last Great Depression).... it’s that you’re one of the 75% employed... LOL..
