>>It’s March again!<<

Oh, and if you were to look at our country (and the world) as it sits today through the eyes of someone last March, it would look considerably worse than it does to us now. It’s the old “frog boiled alive” sort of thing.

I have a feeling the great depression felt more like this at the time. I mean, after all, 75% of the people were employed. Right now, every person I know that has lost their job in the last year has either not found anything or found something considerably below what they were making in salary.

IOW, the collapse has not yet happened, but over the last three years it has gotten VERY bad. The collapse will follow soon enough.

Imagine where we would be if the government was not perpetually increasing unemployment benefits. Imagine where we WILL eventually be if they do. :(

Your original message about March 2008 was an eye opener, just wish I’d have paid attention sooner

I agree we are VERY fragile now, as a society, as a country, much more than I ever expected in the USA

this obama obsession with controlling American healthcare system as the economy crumbles around us

... combined with the insanity and vicious power seeking fixation of Pelosi and Reid and bumbling incompetence and weakness of GOP leadership (still insisting on wearing red coats into battle because that is how gentlemen fight)

= the perfect storm for a watershed event in American history
