Hi Dutch, I never thought something like that would happen in the USA in this modern age, hope things get better soon.

how sad, hu? my first thought is thanks to TARP we (the taxpayers) own all those empty houses out there, why not just use them but that's not really fair, i guess. at least President Carter would go out there and help them start building new homes or something, and put guys like the carpenter in the video back to work. But instead the current solution is to print a couple trillion dineros and give 'em to the bankers. :wtf: yeah, that'll work. :thumbsup: maybe it will, i hope so, but we need to work from the ground up, too.

Its going to get worse in the coming year too. Crime will escalate. Its what happens when you have a society built around greed. Eventually there isn't enough resources to feed the greedy so they will start taking what they want. If we end up in a depression no one on America will have seen ayn thing as bad as what's going to take place.

Already seeing a lot more suicides and domestic abuse cases. The more you have to lose the tougher it gets. I'm poor so I can never tell when the economy is up or down.lol

Me too, i reckon having to much money and losing every thing has a lot to do with how you react when things turn bad.
Money is the root of all evil and if you never had it you wont miss it.:thumbsup:

Trust me it's down...I lost about $15,000 in this BS and I already pay higher taxes than most. No tent 4 me but I've moved assets to more secure investments. Anyone notice how many different 'give us your old gold for cash' companies there are now? The commercials crack me up because they're making more from the gold sent than people realize. Whatever check you get, they're getting double. Tough times for all.
