4. Oh, C'mon The Economy Is Booming
Home Depot, Exxon/Mobil, Wallyworld...those stocks couldn't be performing hot enough. Sadly I know people who think this way. I confronted one person who bitched about paying nearly $50 to fill his beast and he then laughed it off saying how he made back the 50 when the stock went up a point that morning. They don't see it as human...just numbers and winners and losers.

There's also the mantra within that coven that if you're having financial troubles, it's your own fault. This is the cult of irresponsibility...deny all and blame others. It's worked for years and they're accustomed to having some Democrat or other demon to cast their woes upon.

This is going to be a cold, long winter for a lot of people. But will they find a voice to speak up...or will it be a conconfony of different interests and agendas...with no real place to focus all that anger and frustration. We shall see.
