Are we in a recession? I hope so.

I remember all those years struggling on minimum wage with no help from anyone. Being treated like crap from idiot bosses and so forth. So poor, I couldn't even challenge them legally even though I had very strong legal legs to stand on.

Now, I'm making more money than I ever have and oddly enough, I have zero compassion for anyone making less. In fact, I enjoy it when others struggle and hope everyone goes broke. Makes me even richer.

Basically EVERYTHING revolves around money. Just "follow the money" like Jesse Ventura would say.

Don't get mad at me. ALL of you clowns wanted this war and I was shouted down when I spoke up. ALL IDIOTS! 1.2 BILLON DOLLARS IS NOW MISSING just from the funds for training the Iraq police.

1.2 BILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.2 BILLION just from this one thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine how much else is missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was just the neocons raping the treasury and all you idiots allowed and sanctioned it to happen.


So...I have zero sympathy for you and hope you all get buried financially. Even if I make 20K a month I give ZERO money, not even one penny to charity. Piss on ya... :finger: That's all I need...that is to give money to outfits like the United Way run by theives like our former mayor. NO THANKS! All my money is mine, ALL mine and I hope everyone except Liberal gets the boots put to them financially. Liberal deserves a break.

Spoken like a true to-the-cause democrat.
"It's mine....all mine..."

Another search of the United States Senate, The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, has a last action vote on November 4, 1999, by the Senate. 8 Democrats voting against all Republicans voting for passage Except for McCain who shows his usual work ethic and didn't bother to show up for the vote..or you can bet he vote with the pack...

Back in March, Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) said: "I'm always for less regulation" and referred to himself as "fundamentally, a deregulator."  :dunce:
But in a Sept. 16 speech the Republican nominee adopted a far different approach: "Under my reforms, the American people will be protected by comprehensive regulations."

American Legion Magazine, November 2008:
What's a recession?
the merriam-websster dictionary defines a recession simply and vaguely, as "a period of reduced economic activity."
businessdictionary.com defines it as a "period of general economic decline, defined usually as a contraction in the gdp for six months (two consecutive quarters) or longer."
but according to the washington time, the business cycle dating committee of the national bureau of economic research is "the offical arbiter of when recessions begin & end ... offically the nber committee defines a recession, which it calibrates by month (not quarter) as a significant decline in activity spread across the ecomomy, lasting more than a few months, visible in industrial production, emmployment real income and wholesale retail trade."
end article.
in my laymens point of view a recession is when you lose your job & a depression is when i lose my job.  no matter how you define it, i believe we are indeed in a recession & hopefully not in the beginings of a depression! the government is throwing money at this situation in the amounts that i can not commprehend. if the printing press keep on spewing out money like crazy i fear that inflation will be in high gear in the not so distant future. china is closing thousands of plants & puting uncounted workers out of jobs due to the markets drying up for their goods. china is a huge investor in our economy & if they start pulling out their currencey we are serious trouble. i do not profess to be a economics know it all, just telling it as i see it from a laymans point of veiw.
