Sounds peachy---I sure hope that housing boom in the month of January fix the national debt-----$8,242,882,099,064.99------ Well i guess we leave the debt to the future amerikans. that post of USAToday had a message-- "for Economists, however, were quick to caution that the surprisingly high number was probably a blip in the market and continue to predict a slowdown in the housing sector this year."......:thumbsup:

This will help the economy out

Ford Motor May Eliminate 25,000 Jobs to Stem Losses (Update4)
Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co. will eliminate 25,000 or more jobs in the next four years as the world's third-biggest automaker seeks to stem North American losses, according to people familiar with the reorganization.

Chief Executive Officer William Clay Ford Jr. will announce the job cuts, equivalent to about 20 percent of the company's automotive workforce in North America, on Jan. 23 as part of a plan called ``Way Forward.'' Bill Ford said this month the plan would include job reductions without specifying how many. The loss of 25,000 jobs would be the biggest such reduction at Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford since 2002.

Kraft Foods Inc., the nation's largest food manufacturer, said Monday it would eliminate 8,000 more jobs, or about 8 percent of its work force, and close up to 20 production plants as it broadens an ongoing restructuring effort.

Kraft said the cuts would save an additional $700 million in annual costs, atop a targeted $450 million in savings it already had hoped to achieve through a restructuring that began in January 2004.

Northfield-based Kraft already had announced closures of 19 production facilities and the elimination of 5,500 jobs. Kraft said Monday that those efforts are on track, but it is expanding the restructuring plans to include more cuts.


Dell to Hire 5,000 People in India By RAJESH MAHAPATRA, Associated Press Writer
Mon Jan 30, 6:00 AM ET

Computer maker Dell Inc. said Monday it planned to add 5,000 jobs in India over the next two years, bringing its work force in the country to 15,000.

Dell is also looking to set up a manufacturing center in India, a move that could help boost the sale of Dell computers here, President and CEO Kevin Rollins told reporters after a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The Round Rock, Texas-based company will hire 700 to 1,000 workers for a new call center in Gurgaon, a satellite town of the capital, New Delhi, Rollins said. The new call center, the company's fourth in India, will open in April, he said.

The other new hires will staff call centers in the cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad in southern India and Mohali in the northern state of Punjab. Also this year, the company plans to double the staff at its product testing center in Bangalore, which currently employs 300 engineers, Rollins said.

During his previous visit to India in April last year, Rollins had said Dell would make India a hub for its software development and back-office work

of course we could always get rid of the unconstitutional federal reserve, print US treasury notes, and right there cut hundreds of billions A YEAR off the budget...

but that would be conservative, and the neo-cons don't want that.

every man woman and child last i calculated owes about 22K of the national debt. and we all know that it's great to be thousands of dollars in debt.

i have no debt. ask the person with tens of thousands in debt how great it is to be operating under those conditions. it's fan-fucking-tastic i bet they'll tell you!

[amsterdam]

I'm sure it's hard to run up alot of debt when you still live in your parents house. Silly girl.

WoW! Nice comeback amsterdam:thumbsup:

[mont974x4]

I think doing away with the IRS and initiating anational sales tax would help quite abit.


Yes, the national debt is astounding and no it isn't a good thing. If congress would get rid of the pork that would help immensely but that won't happen anytime soon.

That being said, the national debt is only a part of the overall economic picture and for the most part things are good.


Speaking as a man thousands of dollars in debt from student loans, mortgages etc...but slowly getting better. No stress, just a fact of life.

[amsterdam]

Student loans are a bitch!!!

It's nice to hear from someone with some common sense.

[mont974x4]

lol I have my moments.

That's actually student loans x2..my wife's and mine.

I'd like to have the choice for privatized SS, better yet leave me alone and let me fend for myself altogether, but I want to make sure we honor our commitments already in place.

Personally, I think we rely on the government too much.
