"Not since the Great Depression"
How a CBS Radio story started this morning talking about the savings rate of Americans. It is at its lowest rate since the great depression and more Americans are dipping into their savings for day to day living. But, the economy is doing just great. Just ask any wise, sage "conservative" trying to make ends meet.

1. i mentioned this to a Eurpopean DUer who asked recently
"How do your Americans get by with your high costs?"

and it's another reason our deficit is owned by the Asians (mostly) In the old days, if the goverment needed some extra cash, it borrowed it from the American people (through their savings accounts in the bank), now it's one more thing that's been off shored

:cry:

2. President Bush is just pimping America, his whore, to the offshore
Johns. He's selling and/or giving away our country one piece at a time. It's disgraceful. Allowing foreign interests to have so much control is putting America at serious risk of being compromised.

And who's treasonous?

3. The Economy according to the Reich:
"All is well. No need to worry. The economy is strong. Pay no attention to that sucking sound your check book is making!"
