in other words you ain't gonna be able to keep up with the Jones's and you might have to eat tuna in a can rather than steaks...

Why in the **** is real estate so damn high??? Because lenders loan process was dumbed down to where people who did not deserve loans finacially recieved them...in turn the realestate turds get greedy and hike up the value of properties etc...and here we are.

We are not the powerhouse juggernaut we once were...other countries are catching up...Lawyers, liberals, and lobbyist has runied this country.

It costs a business much more to run here b/c they have to adhere to OSHA, EPA, EEOC, and probably a dozen other goverment crap programs that I can't think of at the moment. What do you think they do to a employee that gripes in China??? Out the back door with that fer...don't come back or they kill'em (probably not the case!)

We have bogged ourselves down with trying not to hurt someones feelings and absurd eviromental standards (which the countries that are hot on manufacturing now could give a rats azz about) that corps and small business alike find it an inhospitable enviroment for their business.

notice the main word used in this rant "government"

I agree with you, but we are in a recession right now and people are freaking out. Recessions happen it's just how it is. We will be ok, we will come out, we all aren't going to die.
