The unemployment rate does not take unto account underemployment…people who hold one or two inadequate-pay jobs and cannot meet basic survival costs such as mortgage, water & sewer, groceries, heat, & gas for their car…oh, and food & gasoline prices are not figured into our inflation rates because their considered “too volatile” in their price swings…a more crooked and obvious method of cooking the books I have never heard of.

This economy is being kept afloat by short term, cheap cash & lies. In my opinion, the major correction we face will be allowed to occur probably right after the next presidential election, so we’ll have 4 years to recover (if we can) and forget who was in office when it happened…so as not to taint the next election.

What I love is intelligent conversation. Calling people dummy may make you feel better, but you lower others’ estimation of you.

I like eMac’s discussions; don’t always agree, but at least she putting out material for which we have the opportunity to comment. Who else does that? Disagree all you want, but use your manners.
