This is not good!

But from here you get a lesson in cause and effect.

And if it isn't Exxon or one of the affilitates that has been taking all of your money at the pump, then it is the car companies, insurance companies, general price increases and oh, don't forget the interest on those credit cards you may have been banging up while riding high on positive economic estimates from US economists.

If you have any money put aside, sit tight, and if you want to invest, the time is coming. There are going to be record forclosures in the near future. Followed by the occassional suicide, not that you can profit from that. But fun to hear about how people load so much into their financial success that they spray brains the minute it all goes wrong.

You see, when the president says the economy is moving along nicely, he is looking at an aggregate of numbers. Not individual information, not that some individuals are not doing well over the past few years, but you know that it has to come down. The aggregate will also fall, but those number are too large to feel the effects. And if there is one thing this president has been good at showing the public is that; those who do not remember history are bound to repeat it. And his treatment of the economy is a repeat of history and the aftermath of his actions will be repeated. More taxes.
Sure, you will blame the next president, unless of course he is a republican, and that too is a repeat of history.(read my lips) So get out your check books and get ready to start paying up; but if you disagree with taxes to pay, then you must disagree with debt, so start complaining now. In the end complaining is all you may have left.
Of course you could always join the military and go fight for your money.
