The jobless economic recovery?
Edited on Sun Oct-11-09 10:44 PM by Crazy Dave
They keep calling it a recovery but the only thing I've seen is the number of layoffs and businesses shutting down is only slowing, not getting better.

It seems like we can be told anything these days and believe it.

1. how about a jobless paycheck?
I don't mind working for a living
but I wouldn't mind getting paid for not working either
The south of France sounds nice this time of year

...you're entitled to health care and needed medications.

But we're told how bad it is to have a health care system like that and believe it too.

5. You should be a banker.
Bankers are doing great. Or maybe an insurance company CEO, that job pays pretty good.

If that doesn't work out then there's always professional sports or show business.

Don't come whining to me if you can't make it in America, I just gave you four good choices.

8. That's what I see , talking heads and most highly paid to keep
the great illusion alive. They are invited into our lives through decades of the grand invention of the TV set.

I don't let them in . I never plug the damn thing in. It's nothing new it's just more advanced and refinded sort of like processed food that will kill you.
