ok whatever you say

totally wrong ... the wealthy dont spend a shit ... only if the vast
majority of small income/medium income ppl consume the economy
can and will grow ... the wealthy use tax loopholes and dont pay a
dime ... serious ...

It's easy to figure out what won't work and even easier to point fingers.

Sinking boats, burning buildings and traffic clogged highways are traditionally filled with folks who can do that.

Your hero, Peter Schiff, is especially good at doing that.

Figuring out how to actually fix a problem is another thing all together.

There's a word for people who can do the latter, and that word is winner.

Winners make history.

The question, of course, is whether we have any winners in positions of power now that we could really use one?

So there is no ready recipes and solutions out of this economic crisis!?

The solution is simple. Just painful.

God can, obama maybe...

I'm not a believer. "Religion is an huge insult to human dignity and make aweful things to people!!

Could you please explain to me how wealthy are not spending ?

Maybe all the women in the world could protest by being naked for a whole week!
If it doesn't work...no harm done.

I second!

Let's spread the word and test if it will work :winkwink:

Were all fucked! We got to happy with our cheap shit from Walmart, our economic cars from Toyota, Honda, and our new found technology.

Step back from your computer for a second and really look around your room. How many items can you name off that were made here in the US? Me, myself, the only thing I could say is possibly the paper my bills are printed on and the house I am sitting in. Everything else is made from other countries. You may ask what does this have to do with anything, but it has a lot to do with everything. We have taken our own jobs from ourselves by lavishing ourselves with cheap goods. Some not so cheap as in my plasma TV's but that just made Samsung that much more money. We need to return some of those jobs here to stimulate our own economy.

You have the Walmart's, the Starbucks, the Home Depots, the McDonalds and may other large chains that have driven out the small guys. Just in december the last music store here finally closed his doors after almost 30 years because he could not compete with the Best Buy and the other cheap chains. Your comment will be that they bring jobs. Yes they bring jobs, but they also take jobs away. And when they go crash, Circuity City for example, they lose a lot more jobs. It's no more a share of wealth in the US. It's large conglomerates getting richer and richer.

:2 cents: :disgust

Really really hope so

Independant music stores & rental stores are going out of business in Holland too.
Big chain stores destroyed all the prices in the past and now drop all dvds + cds so they can go into games.....where there's more money to be made...till they kill that too.

The big corps are like parasites, moving from host to host so suck them dry and move on like some kind of virus. Why: shareholders greed & CEO bonus money...

There's nothing wrong with a company being big or making money, but it needs to be socially responsible also for our entire society.

Here's a recent example i'm talking about.

IBM is cutting thousands of jobs here because the labor is cheaper in India. And then it tells the employee's here to move there if they want to save their job. :321GFY IBM :disgust
