“Are you looking for a job?”
Note: This thread is updated on a regular basis.
Oh jeez...this guy and others have to just stop whining...the situation he describes is michigan the past 5 years.....time to just toughen up
“In relative terms, it is no longer 2005, but that does not mean it is 1932 either.”
Let me be clear that I recognize much personal tragedy in the Socialist fabricated economic downturn of today, but it most certainly isn’t worthy of the idealogical distortion the current lot of wealth redistributing, Freedom grabbing, Gun grabbing Socialist control-freaks are implementing under the guise of fixing what they broke.
The Political crowd in D.C. are like children whom broke the statue of Liberty, and with glue and papier mache are rebuilding it in their perspective.
Wondering why it looks more like Stalin than Lady Liberty.
Oh brother. That old canard again. As the percentage of people making their mortgage payments dropped from 98% to 90%, the stock market in half, our national debt shot into the multi-trillion-dollar range practically overnight, the economy plummeted into the worst recession in 25 years, and the national unemployment rate doubled.
Hey Vic, want to double-down on what the economy will look like when 85% of people are still paying their mortgages on time?
The U6 unemployment rate is currently around 13.6%.
Let me know if you want in or out.

Remember MAD, mutually assured destruction of cold war? Well our MAD world economy says we can borrow money endlessly and use it to buy foriegn procts and expand government and there is nothing foriegners can do about it.
The longer BoB keeps the economy in a recession the more of a mandate he has to do anything he wants and the more foreigners avoid investing in US private industry/stock market (your retirement funds) and instead buy T-bills for him to spend. What about 2010 election? Maybe his goal is to get enough government employees, and voters on federal contracts, like public school teachers, nurses, UAW, Mexican immigrants to win the elections so that it doesn’t matter how the economy looks for everyone else. Of course he can never reduce the deficit with this strategy no matter how high he raises taxes.
That about sums it up.
Well, I just landed a tech support job in the pharmaceutical industry. The company is making money hand over fist, and for that I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky.
Less money than my previous job at a banking and mortgage company, but I’m just glad to have a job.
