Lehman brothers

Nice.

AIG is bought out by the gov. and CA still has no budget. A huge # of small businesses who depend on getting paid on time can no longer pay their employees and are bordering on bankruptcy and financial ruin. It's getting so that I don't want to wake up in the morning and see the hole getting deeper :<

Serenity now, serenity now...

I'm afraid it will.

The thing that hurts the most is knowing that all the CEOs that drove these institutions will retire with their billions in their pockets while I will have to work a few extra years to afford to retire.

They are day light clever robbers (having lobbyists working overtime on their behalf in DC) unlike the garden variety 7-11 stick up crook.
The worse thing is congress spent all their precious time investigate, subpoena the baseball players on Steroid.
Who give a f*****g crap about some body who is sticking needle into his own body destroying his own liver & testicles. What a farce. Really.

"If we occupy the sheep with visions of the abuse in their common national pasttime we can distract them from the graft and corruption we're pursuing overseas!" - typical goverment representative thinking

I think we ought to sell the intire Gov't & its cronies to another country!! They would be able to run it better than the people in office now. We are the richest 3rd world country in the world!!

Believe it or not, they already bought both the candidates for our next to be president.

And they are beating each other up over it!

 

[NYEric]

It's naive to think that politicians won't serve the will of the interest groups and lobbies that donate to their campaigns and encourage voters but when federal agencies you [read current Administration] create [read HOMELAND SECURITY] believe they can circumvent basic Constitutional rights and generate HUGE incomes for former officials, or when companies working to support military effort benefit by generating ridiculous profit margin at the expense of taxpayers, I must say it's really time for a change.

Which change? McCain has usurped Obama's word.

Just to add something here...and for a few laughs, did anyone see Sal and Richard from the Howard Stern show make out behind the reporter on CNN the other day...funny stuff

Eric, you want land in Costa Rica? I could help

So far I'm leaning more toward Ecuador or Peru but I'll look into CR too.

 

[Candace]

We loved CR and have also discussed moving out of the country in the future. Of course by the time we could even really do something like that, our dollar might be worth less than a jelly bean.

 

[NYEric]

I recommend gold!

 

[Candace]

I was thinking the same thing but the price of gold has become (I believe) inflated because of banking fears. And also because I'm having a hard enough time trying to get my g.h. foundation dug out. I don't need another digging project in the back yard.

I think the best bet is to buy an off-the-grid compound somewhere that's defensible against zombies. I'm sure that's next.
