Comments on Worst Recession since the Great Depression?

Go to Naut's Thoughts - Add a comment - Go to Worst Recession since the Great Depression?

I'm wondering what you think of the announcement this week

of Obama's intent to invest heavily in infrastructure.

And what do you think of his cabinet choices, and overall theory of government leadership?

Hero

We definately need a hero!  Society is reaping homelessness, layoffs abound here too.  The hero is wise enough to build up the best resources of manpower.  It all seems to be resting on what will happen with the hero.  The pressure!

A very sobering post my friend

I think I'll go and plant some bulbs to come up in the Spring and make me cheerful for by then I may be getting hungry.

Sorry Bro, I meant Shelly! Sometimes I just forget what I am doing; especially when I try to understand the huge increase in the rate of my mortgage that occurred last month. How they can justify a $235.00 monthly increase in these economic times is beyond my rationale. Loved their damn worthless formula to calculate it though! Jackasses! Just venting, that is why you are my Bro, I know you will listen. It truly is painful to be priced out of my home, especially when they have their lavish meetings at $450,000. Shelly

I hope we can crawl out of this mess! It is raising havoc and impeding the sale of my home, which the fat cats have priced me out of! sam

Hopefully Hero.  We could use a good hero.

Exactly what you'd expect a right-wing analyst to say. That's all I have to say.

Will history remember Barack Obama as the Jimmy Carter of the new millennium? Or will he surprise us all and be the heroic figure that leads us out of the darkest economic period we’ve faced since the Great Depression?

I hope it is the latter.  Well done, Naut.  Mal
