It will get much worse.<br /> As far as I am concerned it is very critical to our recovery to have health care for all. We are closing in on 50 uninsured. We better do something and I hear Obama's plan is more in doubt every day!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-85113956598886374182009-06-18T19:12:49.584-07:002009-06-18T19:12:49.584-07:00It's been reported that unemployment claims ar...<b>It's been reported that unemployment claims are leveling off.</b><br /><br />Read the fine print, new claims keep coming in but are not counted as unemployment claims until approved. <br /><br />Been following news about Ca? As the 8th largest economy in the world goes, so goes the world, and it isn't looking good. <br /><br />In fact it keeps going pretty much the way I've been saying it would go and that you better be okay with it. <br /><br />No problem here though, as long as I keep getting my little amount of SS money I have the world by the tail being as I owe the world nothing anyway and live very basic. <br /><br />If I have to I can live on half of what my SS money is and be okay with it. <br /><br />It's not my problem if all these other monkeys got themselves into a big mess because they want so much. <br /><br />No point in giving them advice because they won't fucking listen to me and follow it.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-64406445844027623372009-06-18T15:12:18.152-07:002009-06-18T15:12:18.152-07:00The end of recessions is usually determined well a...The end of recessions is usually determined well after the fact, in retrospect. That is especially true concerning employment, which tends to be the last part of a recovery to kick in.<br /><br />As I've said before, probably too many times, we need a national reindustrialization policy. We also need a much better system to make up for the destruction of any semblance of job security. Without it, I wouldn't be surprised if a popular revolt were to occur at some point in the future.<br /><br />Working people repeatedly having their finances devastated, being increasingly uncertain whether they will be able to pay for and keep a car or house, if they go to buy those things on credit, will at some point become intolerable.S.W. andersonhttp://wpblog.ohpinion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-2250637005806434832009-06-18T12:30:12.675-07:002009-06-18T12:30:12.675-07:00They say the recovery has begun but I am not convi...They say the recovery has begun but I am not convinced. I still say we still have a way to go "downward". The uglier side will continue to get uglier.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.com
