We have to have structural changes in the economy. We have to go from being consumers to producers, and that's going to take awhile. Perhaps a long while. Perhaps generations. We have 40 years of a debt super cycle to unwind. Then when we hit bottom, we can rebuild. <br /><br />Best of luck to you, Donna.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-30924659371924889462011-08-30T12:09:48.048-07:002011-08-30T12:09:48.048-07:00I agree with The Mom...this is newspaper worthy.

We are governed by idiots, whores, and thieves. I truly believe that if we are to be saved it is up to us. We must not be complacent, we must keep our voice loud and strident. If we knuckle under, we're toast. And for what it's worth, I did go get a pedicure on Saturday. I'll have to be dead before I don't do that. Good luck, and God bless us all.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-7884714094552102422011-08-29T15:02:13.144-07:002011-08-29T15:02:13.144-07:00that was from me Nikki:) hahathat was from me Nikki:) hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-81085686808171227592011-08-29T15:01:45.775-07:002011-08-29T15:01:45.775-07:00So poignant Donna.

My husband's job has always been fine, but the more I see people losing jobs, the more I wonder if his will hold up. I worry for my kids who are going to college. Will there be anything for them to do when they graduate? I feel like I have to finish my basement, just in case one of them needs to move back in. Getting a house will be almost impossible for them. I know we've had tough time before in this country, and it's always gotten better. But will it this time? Hopefully, once we kick that bum out of the White House, things will start to turn around, but it will take YEARS to recover from the last 3-4 years.<br /><br />Good post.<br /><br />-KaraKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904418232393087897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-73361327369873046612011-08-29T10:58:00.749-07:002011-08-29T10:58:00.749-07:00wow- you said it! we do actually know the new sena...wow- you said it! we do actually know the new senator, dean heller- he was in our ward up in carson city and he's a great guy. i know he's gonna do great things but is too afraid until he gets elected on his own. until then--lets hope these guys grow up and do something gfo rus!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827528022714768407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-40604224970403527072011-08-29T10:57:01.280-07:002011-08-29T10:57:01.280-07:00I agree...our home is for sale, for different reas...I agree...our home is for sale, for different reasons but we have been looking in the St. George area..everything is a short sale for a foreclosure..so discouraging!

This frustration and despair is touching even the lives that should be on the home stretch... but, they are starting over. <br /><br />We are not immune here in Texas, but we are much better off than most other places. Your comment about the trickle down effect is so very true. That is why capitalism works (as long as it is above-board business). Adam Smith referred to this as "the invisible hand" that helps us all. A circle of life and prosperity. When one is able to make money, they spend money, which then becomes money the next person makes and so on. <br /><br />Woman, I applaud your courage and your spirit! I am sending all the best wishes for your new business. And just know, we'd love to have your kind back in Texas.

I hope someone starts paying attention to things that need to be done. It's getting pretty ridiculous. I read something the other day that someone wrote and his advice as to the leadership of this country was to re-elect 100 percent new leadership. He said what we have in there isn't doing anything, so lets get new leaders who will try and do something. The sad part is, most people who will run, are all politicians and they will all end up acting like the ones we have. We need people to run who are "real people". If you find some of those who want to be in office, let me know.nanbrinton54https://www.blogger.com/profile/07652376691574557605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-63490546016249397232011-08-29T09:28:50.356-07:002011-08-29T09:28:50.356-07:00I wish I COULD disagree with something you've ...I wish I COULD disagree with something you've said...<br /><br />"/Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-2604964470746356112011-08-29T09:14:49.749-07:002011-08-29T09:14:49.749-07:00Well said, well said!!!Well said, well said!!!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-91443838585577981722011-08-29T09:11:25.569-07:002011-08-29T09:11:25.569-07:00The ten most powerful two-letter words:
