It's not over, in fact, it really hasn't begun. Bailing out the banks just slowed things down, so there wasn't a huge crash.

You can tell something is going to happen when the cost of going to the movies has gone up well over 120% in the last 6 years, but people's income has gone up about 12%.

This was my last trip to the movies to see a 3D movie:
2 tickets $ 36 + $ 10 for the glasses + $ 9 large popcorn + $ 8 for 2 waters = $ 63.
God forbid you order candy. I spent $ 63 to go to a fucking movie with a friend. $63??

Never again.

The movies used to be the last resort for "blue collar" entertainment. Now, only the rich can afford it.

Consumers can not maintain consumption at today's current prices, so eventually, more markets will continue to bottom out.

The real market crashes have yet to be seen. The only markets the news media hypes on are "cars" "stock market" and "real estate"

The ONLY reason GM got out of BK was because our government pushed the news media to hype up all the Toyota recalls, practically labeling Toyota as the worst car ever. It Worked. Scared so many people, they all ran out and bought American.

Why did our governement do that? So the auto maker could pay back their loan!!!

They did, now everybody thinks we are out of danger. We're not. Real estate is still bottoming out and unemployment is still very high.

Somebody has to pay for the war. Who? The poor? We can't even afford the fucking movie about the war.


oh wait, Helloooo, it's an election year... So all your going to hear about for the next year is "we are out of danger" "The recession is over" and "The Prez is doing a great job" blah...blah...blah...... Bend over everybody, 4 more years of it... and after that, and after that. Fuck the poor in the ass and make everybody proud of their Prez at the same time.

One last thought: Why does somebody that hits a ball with a bat and runs his fat ass around some bases, earn $ 5 Million a year....and police officers and teachers make around $ 45,000 a year?

That is why our country and our values are soooo fucked up.
