I don't know where I fall, but we don't spend on anything right now but food and fuel.

Which strategy I'm not even sure is wise.  What's the point of saving anything when they're working like the devil to devalue every dollar stashed.  It may be smarter to put the money into something tangible.  We've contracted with an architect to draw up plans for expanding the back of the house.

 I like a south facing window.

Well, these are, but not the point.  Or is that what I'm missing?

 And a private bath,something in an earth tone.

The news just keeps getting better and better.

Quote
NYU economist Nouriel Roubini went on Bloomberg TV on Aug. 31 to give his latest prediction of the global economy:
"We’ve reached a stall speed in the economy, not just in the U.S., but in the euro zone and the UK. We see probably a 60 percent probability of recession next year, and, unfortunately, we’re running out of policy tools.....and sovereigns cannot bail out their own distressed banks because they are distressed themselves.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

And here are the Scholastic News Kid Reporters sitting down for a frank and serious discussion with President Downgrade. Poor kids.

They wonder why the economy is so bad and what he is going to do about it. He mumbles and fumbles, stares at his lap, and eventually tells them that they are screwed unless they go to college...

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

He's been vacationing hard lately. And I'm dead serious when I say that. When our family goes on vacation, we cram so much extra living into every day that we return home exhausted and in need of some down-time to recuperate from our vacation. This guy never stops. Compound that with the shoulder-weight of trying to bring down the world's most powerful nation, and what's an ordinary guy to do? Of course he's tired.

But that won't stop him. He's got what it takes to defeat the United States, he just knows he does.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Stay in school for a good education? Like he did. How many hours did he allow himself for studying? Couldn't have been all that much as indidcated by his Marxist tripe he spews out on a regular schedule. Education obviously isn't for everyone as he clearly demonstrates by wasting all that space in classrooms and not learning a damn thing from it. ::bashing::

Note that it was 10 letters out of thousands that are given to him by his staff further insulating him from the realities of just how many would like to see him swing from a rope of his own action. Isn't this the main crux of it, he's isolated from reality meaning he's entirely out of the loop as to how much the country's suffering from his policy decisions.

We've all seen the movies and histories of leaders that are so isolated by their prsonal staff looking out for his feelings rather than the tribulations of the citizenry.

It's a prison of his own making.  He has no choice but to continue on this path.  He fears the truth about himself more.

This is normally the time of year when holiday work shrinks the unemployment rolls slightly. Maybe not this year.

Another fine depressing day in Obamaville!

I didn't hear that today.  But if one person out of that group gets a job I'm sure my local media will be telling us the economy is improving.

Quote
We can safely expect the Obama administration to spin today’s jobs report as good news.  After all, some net jobs got created in October, even if they fell 15,000 short of the expectation of 95,000.  But as Clinton adviser and economist Robert Reich explained on MSNBC this morning, that’s actually going backwards in the context of population growth, and that makes this report decidedly not good news.

She cites no study, provides no evidence, but baldly makes the claim: If President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats had not passed the $825 billion stimulus bill in February of 2009, unemployment today would be 15 percent.

Using the U6, which is ..

Quote
The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts "marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons." Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the "marginally attached workers" include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over.

That was in August.
