There's some change that you can believe in. The recession that should have been over is only going to be longer and more painful than we could ever believe. In fact, when you use the numbers that they used to calculate our economy during the 1930's we are smack in the middle of a depression. In 1931, our unemployment numbers were 15.3%. In 1932 it was 22.9%. In 1933, it was 20.6 % and 1934 gave us 16% unemployment. Removing the mumbo jumbo of only counting people who are receiving unemployment and counting all unemployed- we have 2009- 21%. 2010 we are looking at 22%. In 2011, it stayed steady at 22% unemployment. For 2012, it is 23% unemployment.
We have let ourselves be overrun by people who are more concerned with the next free handout, the next gimmee, that we have signed over our sovereignty.
We are no longer the world's best hope- we are that homeless guy waiting for the next spare change to hit his cup. We are no longer world leaders. We are only the leaders of debt and jobs lost. We cannot get to the space station that we built unless we hitch a ride with a country that hates us.
We cannot even pay our own bills, and yet we are giving away billions in foreign aid. A lot of that aid goes to countries that don't like us. Pakistan is a fine example. They were hiding Osama Bid Laden and we had to sneak into our "friends" country to get him. Of course, Barry was quick to take the credit for it. Quick to want the appreciation, even though he denied permission for the raid until he found out it was about to be leaked.
That's your guy and you can have him. He has socialized twenty percent of our economy with no real way to pay for it. But the idiots, useful or otherwise, heard free and they signed on in droves. I pity them. I will anyway after I get finished figuring out how to clean up this latest mess.
I had planned to hire a guy until the election results came in. While I am still waiting to see how much of it was stolen, I am not hopeful.
If the main stream media can't even tell me how many people are dead because of fast and furious, I don't expect that they will tell me how many voting booths were faulty or how many areas where B.O. received 105% of the vote.
Nope, they are in the tank for their guy, plain and simple. So I am not hiring. My store will limp along and I will continue to work 16 hour days. I will not expand, I will only hunker down and try to ride out the storm. As soon as mittforbrains gave up and quit ( surprised? no) I put the sell order into my broker. He was getting a lot of those on Wednesday. I converted the majority of my holdings into gold and silver, much like many people were doing. I have a full freezer. I have three guns in my house (one on every floor) and enough ammunition to stop the moron who thinks it is a good idea to steal from me or break into my home. I would suggest that you do the same. You'll thank me later.
