I'm living like the frozen deer in the headlights, waiting for the closet of financial shoes to drop! I'm so sick of listening about the economy, but I just can't get myself to turn off the radio or turn off the news. Everywhere I turn- radio, TV, internet, conversations in the stores- it's the main topic of conversation. Its so suffocating!
And why isn't' the "War Against Terror" being talked about, other than a reference about how much in US $$$$ it's costing us. If they bring the soldiers home, what will they come home to? It's Desert Storm but worse. There are no jobs for them to come back home to so they are better off financially staying put (in the service, not in a war). And now Pakistan is back in the news? Pakistan? Iraq? Iran? Afghanistan? Georgia? Russia? Somalia? We need to concentrate on the US. We can't even control the crime and gangs here. What makes the US gov think they can control another country? And I STRONGLY mean CONTROL.
I feel like I live pretty conservatively, but each and every company is affected by this "economic downturn". Let's call it what is really is...a depression. How far are we going to fall before we hit bottom? We're paying for those who haven't lived conservatively in the past 5+ years. Yet we have to BAILOUT everyone because if we don't, they will drag us all down the economic black hole. Where is the accountability? Where is the responsibility? This is so big that we still have to coddle those who blame others instead of looking at themselves for their situation. Wake up people.
Am I done venting? Probably not. Just fair warning for the future.
