USA 2008: The Great Depression
I know I saw all those soup lines as I drove into work this morning; my best year yet I might add.
I also know we have a depression when I see we have a whopping 4.8% unemployment rate.
Just another project to take on. I'm going to start taking photos of help wanted signs and posting them.
If you run into any, please feel free to forward them on to me and I'll post them.
Send them to gtvcpa@yahoo.com.

I can't believe our current situation qualifies as "hard times". Under 5% unemployment is basically full employment.
The one dark spot, "the housing crisis" is not really a crisis. People with bad credit, who would normally not have been able to buy a house, bought a house, lived well for a couple of years in that house, then got kicked out of the house and back to the apartment they would have been in anyway. Some big companies like Bear Stearns took bad risks and are paying the price.
But in the end, 99.9% of the people have roofs over their head, many of which I am helping pay for. No one in this country is starving. Most people in this country who *are* going through difficult economic times are doing so as a direct result of poor life choices (drugs, poor financial choices, etc.) or poor choices made by their "progressive" leaders.
I could tell this article pulled out some photos of the worst areas, and theyt want to portray this as all of America. And they are trying to blame someone. They are trying to make the case that some progressive (and comprehensive) solution is required.
I'm not buying it.
