Once everybody bought their gardening supplies so they’ll at least have potatoes to eat, they went back to hunkering down...
Seriously, the garden centers were stripped bare early this year.
Spending was a “last fling while I still have a job”. Then came April and the pink slips arrived.
I was told yesterday by economists that we’ve recovered...you mean they were painting a rosy picture for their Messiah? Reality’s a bitch...a tough, mean, but honest pitch.
Hope and Change - better hope you have change left in your pockets when it's all over
What do they expect with a commie in the House?
Maybe the government could step in and make up for that lost activity.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say higher taxes and piling on more debt won't be a problem.
Just put the taxes on someone else, and the debt we can worry about tomorrow.
Now the media can't understand why!
I can see a paper mill about 4 miles from my house. When it’s operating the mill emits a lot of steam from its stacks. I’ve noticed that the mill has been shut down for several months. But this morning it appeared to be operating again.
Good! We still had freedom after the Great Depression. I'd rather have another depression than watch Obama pass all the socialist measures he wants to push through. Maybe economic weakness will slow him down.
- Oil hits $60 / barrel
- 500K job loses in April
- Some form of job killing Cap N Trade likely to be enacted
- Expanded health insurance coverage including taxing existing benefits in the works, likely to pass
- Obambi wants to raise taxes by billions on off shore earnings
- The government projects $1.84 trillion in deficit this year
And we wonder why things are not going that great?
Change we can all hope for ...

Seems like the perfect storm - everyone is sort of scared, lost their job or scared about losing their job - so if one does not have cash - don’t buy - plus Obama is on the other side spending like a drunken sailor and promising even more spending - next is tax increases across the board and inflation.
We are so screwed.
Desire? More like "ability" to shop. Sorry, they are still paying off those credit charges from Christmas, plus they've had their credit limit chopped in half, so they have to pay the credit card down more than anticipated.
They are a bunch of lying bastards. They know that there will be no recovery. The purpose of the taxes that will be imposed by obama and the Democrat Party is to prevent a recovery and destroy the free enterprise system.
But that is what the fools voted for.
Spending going down, unemployment going up, businesses going out, and the stock market is going up. Go figure. Taxes, government jobs, government spending and government size is going up, way up when nationalized healthcare gets here, and the rest of us are going to shrink to fit. This fascist fiasco sucks big time, and it is just beginning.
I bet retail ammo sales didn’t follow this trend!
Unexpectedly??????
What planet is this idiot news agency from?
Maybe gulching is spreading?
