Actually, a lot of the mess was caused by Clinton and ACORN strongarming banks into giving low income loans to people for houses. Clinton had the highest rate of homeownership in a long time during his term and in turn, the banks collapsed.

Thanks for pointing this out. Everyone blames Bush for LITERALLY everything that could have possibly gone wrong in this country, when Clinton caused his fair share. I'm not a huge Bush fan either, but you can't blame him for everything like people try to.

what gets me is people blaming Obama for unemployment and the economy. a buddy of mine is an economics doctoral student and he was explaining to me that there was no way to stop the economy from going down the crapper but what Obama (and in fairness Bush in his last days) did do was stop things from spiraling out of control. the way my buddy tells it we were about one week away from a total and apocalyptic financial meltdown where all the banks were going to go bankrupt and we'd have had a Great Depression scenario. the bank bailout and even the automobile loans let thing stabilize. it will take time for the jobs and stuff to get back to normal but we could have had real anarchy in the streets if they hadn't done something big and fast.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. bring on real anarchy, fuck liberals, fuck bush, and fuck obama too.

or bring back physical currency at the very least.

Sorry, not total anarchy, I'm more of an anarcho-capitalist.

There's only so much any president can do about the economy. That said I think the auto bailout/takeover was terrible and the stimulus was a huge waste.

News came recently that here in England things are slowly getting better on the economic front.

Any news of the same ilk in America?

It really doesn't matter.

Look baby
Read the ant and the grasshopper story and you got what we got in AMEERIKAA


I just divorced, I have no REAL fucking money, I have no fucking job. But I have mutual funds, IRA roth -IRA accounts,money market accounts etc etc which I made sure were MINE in the divorce papers. I have real estate.

I don't have that much coming in monthly after mercedes shithead took me to the cleaners BUT I budget, I buy sale, I buy used and I make it month to month.
I make it.
And when the little one goes to school- I get a job at fucking Mickey D's, I babysit, I fucking mow lawns if I have too and save that mother fucking money like mad.

And I get by and I actually save.

But back to the ant story...work your ass off and you will be ok-no matter what.
STOP living beyond your means fucking America-pay your fucking credit debt down assholes.
Stop living paycheck to paycheck and stop buying FUCKING STARBUCK COFFEE (which I love, but will sacrifice) for gods sake.
You save over $1000 a year if you brew your fucking OWN.



...*RANT OVER*...:)

Now THAT I can get behind, buy what you can pay for, the government isn't there to help you pay your bills.

I second what he's seconding.
