What is included in that -0.1% is all the activity moved into the 4th quarter to avoid the tax increases. NEXT quarter was supposed to be the bad one...along with the effect of the 2% payroll tax increase.

I am a little late to TEOTWAWKI. I have lots and lots of guns and ammo. Been working on food storage for a while but I am not comfortable. I only hope that I can get to the comfort zone with food storage before the sh*t hits the fan.

Me, too, although I'm doing the best I can.  Dear husband isn't totally board for shtf so I'm on my own mostly and doing much of it on the sly sometimes.   ;D  But he's gets being prepared for a natural disaster (power outage, etc) so he got us a generator, extra lights, etc.  As long as I can frame in those terms he's ok.

He's a good man, not  stupid, but he's a product of a two parent family, where the husband takes care of the family, works hard and does the right things and all will be well from that.  Reality has been hard for him where no one gives a shti and personal responsibility means doing what you want without regard to the effects on anyone else. 

He was let go from his job on Monday.


Sorry to hear that LadyV.  Remember, when God shuts a door, He opens a window.  Your family will be in my prayers.

Thanks.  I keep telling myself that God is with us and even when it's looks dismal it isn't.  And when I look back every scary turning point in our family's life has in the long run been for the better.  He called all his friends--professional and personal and no one is hiring.  So I guess we'll trust that it will all work out.

Thanks for the prayers.  I'll take them!

thanks all!

I debated saying anything.  I mean, who'd thunk it-- a conservative not out looking for sympathy??

But I kinda like y'all and I felt stupid not mentioning it.

Sorry to hear it LV.  Maybe if you've ever thought about doing something like moving to a different part of the country, this could be an opportunity to do it.

What line of work is your husband in?  Apparently the economy is doing pretty well in Texas.

thanks,thanks,thanks

Briefly, we've pondered moving as soon as we heard.  And will again but at this moment we need to get over the shock and then we'll get practical.

Our house is on a private road in unincorporated county which is one thing we love about it which unfortunately is the one thing most others wouldn't love about it. Plus, the housing market isn't kind in this area.  People here want McMansions and this house is definitely not one of those.

Husband is a tax accountant. 

The one thing about Texas is it's full of Texans. Those people are nuts.   ;D

Looking for that opened window...

The good thing about taxes is that one can always set up anywhere and do people's taxes.  I even read a story about a CPA setting himself up in a bar.

Good luck with the husband.

More unemployed every day...

And as we all know they only way the Regime can articifially lower the official BS U3 number is by removing these people from the work force denominator, and then there is this -

Obama Regime Ends "Jobs Council" after two years and 4 meetings

All of this adds up to one thing - the Obama Regime is saying this very loudly -  ::doublebird::

All part of the master plan, destruction is necessary, your suffering is designed to advance the statist goal of total enslavement of every living soul!
