I was listening to NPR the other day.....
and there was a home builder who was very confused by the things he was seeing and experiencing. He said that he had never seen housing prices drop like this or housing sales stop except in a recession. He was very confused and basically said we could throw out everything we ever thought we knew about economics since all of his things were happening without a recession!

So many things are happening and if everyone had been paying attention they would know it is because of * and his cronies. We knew about this for quite a while - how * took food and gas out of the inflation equation so he could cheat with the numbers. How is it possible we are all living in the same country experiencing the same things and coming to such two different conclusions about the economy? People are in for a rude awakening.

1. globalization has changed the equation
since many of our companies have only their name here, why should they be effected by what's going on here, they pay no
taxes, have everything outsourced, no wonder, they are doing well.

2. We're going to be scratching the dirt for worms pretty soon. They've
taken our jobs. Next they'll take our homes. We will become Darfur.
