As far as not expecting this recession to be like this at this length ... No ... many seen it actually, but didnt want to talk about it, I for instance pointed all this out the minute I bought my first computer over 2.5 year's ago ... and started writing "what" to expect ... go to my earliest posting's ... and pick anything I wrote ... as far as what's to come economically .... and it's almost like a carbon copy of what you see now. Also .... this is not going to get better any time soon ... at all ... so get used to the unemployment figure's and even they are greater than we are even told ... you yourself know that well Demeur. Right now ... I would throw every damn thing I could into domestic infrastructure, I dont give a shit how in debt we are ... it's a matter of who we have more interest's in ... our homeland and domestic's ... or fucken Arab's and China ... who frankly aint gonna give a shit about us any way you slice it, beside's what they can get out of us. Were so fucken stupid across the board ... some of what we get we deserve.Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-44561259593460663882010-10-13T00:08:05.245-07:002010-10-13T00:08:05.245-07:00I wonder if our economy would start to improve if ...I wonder if our economy would start to improve if we could somehow force half the financial industry to permanently relocate to China or the UAE, and force the other half to downsize by 50 percent. Kind of like an unruly shrub that you have to cut down to a nub every few years, or else it takes over your yard.<br /><br />I wonder this in part because we only have so many prisons and there won't be money for building a lot more of them anytime soon.S.W.

Unless of course we use hindsight and state the obvious that 20 years ago would have been the time to at least make plans and sock away some funding for the future that was then but is now presently on our doorstep.<br /><br />While we piss away the minutes, the energy and air pointing fingers and arguing over stupidity like worrying now about the deficit, the crisis that began many years ago is peaking and soon it won't matter if we make plans to rebuild.<br /><br />If ever a lesson from the great Depression should be paid attention to it is the rebuilding that took place during the 1930s. Government programs like the WPA resulted in dams for hydro electricity, buildings and parks built and rebuilt, bridges erected that actually went somewhere and roads improved so that when we needed these improvements to gear up for WWll, we had a head start on being ready. <br /><br />What gets me is the continued short term thinking that has American Capitalism in its grip. I had hopes that big business in this country would see the writing on the wall and stop trying to squeeze blood from the stone we have become when the banks failed and the last bubble burst. But no, they took our money and went back to business as usual.<br /><br />And still there is a sizable portion of this country's citizenry who would like to see them continue to call the shots. If ever there was a time to make the top 3% income bracket pay through the nose, it is now. <br /><br />Collectively, we are indeed a bunch of dumb asses and deserve all that has happened.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-55147419884900698562010-10-12T12:59:12.807-07:002010-10-12T12:59:12.807-07:00Is 'bubble' the new codeword for Schedule ...Is 'bubble' the new codeword for Schedule I substances, hippie?Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-4900764369753560002010-10-12T12:06:32.340-07:002010-10-12T12:06:32.340-07:00Yes, this is an excellent time to start rebuilding...Yes, this is an excellent time to start rebuilding.
