I always watch CNBC in the morning. Best thing on tv. Becky must be on vacation. Army was on this morning and tore Howard Dean a new one. He told Dean Social Security should be a choice and voluntary and Dean almost fainted.n My company of 100 ee’s laid off 20 last week for lack of new projects and more to come. We are Marine Construction. Our only ongoing projects are in the Carribbean. The USA is shutting down.
Yesterday, I was at a civic club meeting (mostly retired democrat members) and the economy and unemployment was the hot topic of the evening. I've never seen so many worried people.
Those that were staunch democrats and used to blast W every chance they got are strangely silent about politics now, but I did have one complaining that those damned republicans won't let any stimulous money loose for private contract work. Well...I just had to challenge that, and he wound up admitting that republicans have no control over how that money is spent.
I've decided to never let idiot statements stand anymore.
The USA is shutting down.
It seems so.
