If I run out of food then I guess I''''ll have to eat my neighbors cat or dog or something like they do in China.

Foul cretin. Your life isn''t worth saving if you stoop that low.

"And no one is predicting the kind of bank failure fever that swept the country in the Great Depression."?????

Really??? Well, let me be the first.

I hear ya, the baby boomers have got to go.

It really is sad what is happening to our economy. I''ve already stocked up on staples like toothepaste, razors, canned good, you know the basics.

If I run out of food then I guess I''ll have to eat my neighbors cat or dog or something like they do in China.

Yep, we need to bring back the unions and we can. It will take the majority of legal workers to do it, but we can and need to.

[oneworldusa]

The economy where I''m at seems to be well-intact. High end restaurants remain packed, people aren''t (unfortunately) cutting back on driving, going to concerts and wine-tastings and theme parks and such.

We don''t do that. For years we''ve been combining trips and cutting back to prepare for now and the future. Depression closet is stocked with food to get us through 2 years if we need it. We are ready.

What are all these people doing? I have no sympathy for people who will pay $150-$200 for dinner for two and by the end of the year can''t pay their mortgage.

All this free trade started with Reagan to break the unions back we CEO''s made 10 times what the front line guy made, not 1000 times or more like today. They broke the unions alright, but now they are becoming more and more surrounded by a growing working poor class. Good luck to the greedapublicans of the future who are truely going to have to create a military state in America to keep control. I guess that is the American dream to these lovers of money. After growing up in a area with a thriving middle class during the 70''s, I can''t believe we have chosen the route of eliminating the middle class so a small number can build castles around the world. If they only knew their money won''t buy them any favoritism when they are standing before Jesus someday.

shall we also lay-off all your friends and relatives who happen to be baby boomers? it would only be fair, don''t you think? so, tell us, who are they. we could just get them fired, because, they ARE baby boomers, you know, and since that''s the only qualification you offer to put people out of work (whether I agree they should be gone or not, and mostly, I do) if we are going to go at a class of baby-boomers, than all must go according to your ''logic.''

Get us started. Tell us who they are and where they work, ok?

-The one who takes charge and takes over. More to come. I''m developing a movement to do just that. No politics, just regular people for the regular people. Someone''s gotta do something, but everyone feels helpless to do so, so I''m gonna try and get it started.

[whitemale08]

I''m so sick and tired of these denials from junkyard dogs like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh who tell us everday that the economy is great and fantastic.

I got news for you and John McCain, this economy is the worse since the Great Depression, no doubt about it.

Listen to Peter Schiffe folks, he knows what he''s talking about. He''s been forcasting this consumer destruction of our economy for years.

It''s stupid people like Rush and Sean who make 100''s of millions in Federal Reserve Notes that make up the Republican base like George Bush said.

I really can''t take it anymore, I''m making preparations to leave the United States of America to get away from Sean Hannity and Rush who hate to see the working stiff get ahead.

I''ve had it with these clowns.

The new most favored trade nation needs to be America, not China. The international trade union needs to take a hike out of America. Fair and balanced trade needs to take over. Trade deficits and tariffs need to be enforced. Crooked loans and applications for loans need to be governed by law and penalties. Government bail outs for cheating should be out of the question. Lazy porkers not managing their company''s or banks are no reason for us to bail them out with national debt. Afghanistan is as stupid as Iraq or maybe worse, the enemy takes very little financial loss, where will it ever end at that rate? How bout the national debt and China? Wouldn''t want to aggravate them would we, W said America needed a change. We got the worse president ever, or should I say tyrant? Can you believe he graduated as an undergraduate of Yale and Graduated Harvard? Doesn''t look to good on George Sr. and the American dollar. I could wonder how much the Bush clan paid for his High School diploma and his military discharge. Dan Rather tried to tell us he was a dunce. Our Whole government has the meaning of conflict of interest backwards. The Bush and Cheney fortunes should be confiscated due to conflict of interest and organized crime.

[oneworldusa]

Yeah, I''m sure ALL the people born in an eleven year span are all the problems...What are the statistics on that?

[oneworldusa]

The solution is regulation of corporate greed, plain and simple. Corporate greed is the cause of all this mess and while upper fluff types partied at their country clubs and had their mint juleps at the expense of the rest of us, guess what? They don''t CARE that the economy is going bust because they have their golden parachutes to hang on to and don''t care if their jobs are gone tomorrow.

An uprising is in order.

[oneworldusa]

LOL!! Again, ExxonMobil ads are nowhere to be seen when the subject is economic woes....

[taotxzen]

Where does the buck stop?

Forget Bush and Cheney, where does the buck stop? If the generation that went to war and saved us from fascism and pulled us from the depths of the depression is the ''Greatest generation%u2019 then who are we? What have we done as a generation, how will we be remembered? Will we be remembered as the ones that ignored the fall, as the ones that worried more about our taxes than our fellow man? That passed a crippled planet and massive debt on to the next generation? What will history call our generation?

What are you trying to get at here
---------------------
What I''m saying is, don''t get baited into the partisan politics. Don''t play the "blame game" to decide whether the Democrats or the Republicans are at fault.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF BABY BOOMER GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN A DISASTER.

SIXTEEN YEARS IS ENOUGH!

[nskduke2]

txgrouch2006,
What are you trying to get at here

[txgrouch2006]

HERE''S MY SOLUTION.

Go to www.congress.org . Enter your ZIP+4 to get a list of YOUR elected representatives.

CLICK ON EACH NAME, and check the rep''s bio.

VOTE AGAINST anyone who was born 1946-1957.

CLEAN OUT THE BABY BOOMERS. SIXTEEN YEARS OF BABY BOOMER GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN A DISASTER.

SIXTEEN YEARS IS ENOUGH!

[txgrouch2006]

It''s not the Democrats. It''s not the Republicans. It''s

SIXTEEN YEARS OF BABY BOOMERS.

Slick Willy is a Boomer. Dubya is a Boomer. Hillary is a Boomer. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Boomer. Joseph Hazelwood is a Boomer. 60% of Congress are Boomers.

I THINK THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING...
