Quoting: THE LIGHT 718240this is just a down time things will get better. stop fear mongering. Actually... Unemployment during the Depression was between 20-25% and things weren't so peachy... If you haven't started preparing for whats coming, its almost too late... This is the last growing season before the real shit hits... Good luck. |

Do a little research and see what the REAL unemployment numbers are... There's a firm in Boston who does independent research, and doesn't fudge the numbers like the Government does... We're in a world of hurt... The stock market crashed in 1929... The great depression started in 1931... Get the picture? We're not even feeling the pain yet.

Quoting: THE LIGHT 718240this is just a down time things will get better. stop fear mongering. Actually thats not right at all. Most folks don't work. Pensioners, retired, moms, children, The statistics for unemployed are only on the ones offically looking for work at state employment offices. What is really happening is 50% or more of the unemployed who would like to work have given up. MOst of the employed are government workers who really don't just take from those that do give something back to a community. So figure it out. The flushing toilet bowl swirl is speeding up but fast. Only way the powers that be can get out of this is a plague or war. Which I"m sure they'll do. |

Quoting: aznwarlordwhat a joke, big banks earning billions with stolen money while people keep losing jobs. But they get food stamps and government shelter of some kind if they have children. The rich are laughing all the way to the bank. They don't give a craap about the average person. Were just slaves to the elite. Thats why they call it the ivy league. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 725591And with the new report... they are predicting 13% U-3 unemployment... meaning at least 20% U-6 and 30% real unemployment... if the dollar doesn't collapse... If it does... TOTAL DOOM awaits us. Second Degree Doom at it's finest, per the TimeTable of Doom. |

I find that strange not only because nothing really changed inside the vaults of these institutions -the level of toxicity remains , say, elevated-, but also because Whitney simultaneously provides the worst unemployment prediction emanating to date from a "serious" finance source: 15%. U3, that is. Which would, if you allow me the back on the envelope, take U6 to around 30%, and Shadowstats' alternate U6 likely between 35% and 40%. If Whitney's right, the US economy would fall into what can only be called a pitch black hole." [link to snurl.com] |

And governemnt workers give nothing back. THey actually suuck the pot dry even faster. Its all smoke and mirrors for the last decade or two. Interesting how the banksters are doing it.

So how was Goldman using it? |

Maybe I should see if i can get it back since I paid. I wonder where my paycheck went if I did not spend it in my community? One thing i loved hearing from people when I worked for the government is that they paid my wages. Well #1 if one persons tax paid mt wages they made alot more than I did obviously so I could give a shit less. And #2 it is kind of ironic that i could make the claim that I also paid my wages. One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. William Feather |
