What is happening?

Quick cash is gone in a flash. Because every day I see fewer expensive luxury automobiles on the road. Sadly, high end luxury designer shops are closing. Those fine dining up scale restaurants are empty. Stockbrokers and others that thrived in an age of easy money - gone.

Jobless claims at half a million


It troubles me to say it, but half a million americans lost their jobs last week. Jobless claim were unchanged last week. Sadly, companies continue to shed jobs. What we need is job gains.

As american industry is shut down and move to china, fewer people can find jobs. The deinstrialization of USA is causing hardship to many workers. It is a foregone conclusion that politicians will do nothing except play the blame game.

US running out of money

Folks, there is no money. China doers not want to pay for a second US stimulus. The last stimulus created few jobs. It seems that our gov feels everything is OK, but lets face facts, unemployment is rising.

States in Trouble

Due to falling revenue. states are forced to raise taxes on poor. The reason is a decline in income due to unemployment, also sales tax revenue did not increase. In fact sales are down, the economic recovery is a hoax. States are now poor. In fact many states may declare bankruptcy as our financial system goes off the rails and crash our economy.

There are pests that infest the halls of congress. They are called quite appropriately congressmen. Last year when people were calling pleading that their tax dollars not be given to billionaire banksters, these roaches that rule, these men of congress chose to ignore the cries of the poor.

Well, as always these congressmen have excuses. However, your money is gone.

Wall Street is dumb. They feel that everything is going their way. However, unemployment rates are high. That means less spending this Christmas holiday season. Expect sales to drum up little business as customers try to save every penny.

All this talk of green shoots is poo. US jobless rate is now over 10% and rising. If people do not have jobs, they cannot consume. In fact, sales this Christmas season, will be bad, much worse than predictions tell us. Get ready for some more economic woe.

germany wins?


Let us imagine an alternate timeline where germany wins. The story of WWII would read quite different. In fact, we would probably never hear of death camps. People would focus on the "liberation" from corrupt capitalism by the national socialist workers party also known as nazi. History remember, is written by the winners.

Democrats lose in NJ & VA


Superhypercatastrophic, as in epic. Time is running out for democrats. People want performance, not promises. OK in what can be called a cascade failure, democratic states are falling like a row of dominoes. Incumbents get a wake up call as reps win. Hey, even with our prez campaigning for democrats the losses were epic. This means public wants jobs, not more social programs.

Goldman bet on crash


It has now come out that Goldman Sachs bet on the housing crash. In fact, they did profit from our misery. Banksters are laughing all the way to the bank. The mortgage meltdown was in part caused by home loans to the poor. It was engineer from the start to create our current severe economic recession.
