so, HP is going to be cutting about 25,000 jobs pretty soon .. but that aint shit considering the 43 million lost jobs over the past 16 years in the US with outsourcing and cuts because the company cant afford to pay their employees anymore .. Unemployment has never been this bad ..

oh, and the value of the US dollar has decreased something like 40% in the past 6 years .. The Euro is now worth over 50% more than the US dollar ..

the US deficit is well over 10 trillion dollars now thanks to the landmark housing bill ..

The US housing market is about to fail because too many people bought houses they couldn't afford ..

The government has taken over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the two largest mortgage companies in the US before they go bankrupt and ruin what is left of our housing market ..

AIG has taken an 85 billion dollar loan from the government so they don't have to file bankruptcy, which couldnt possibly be a good thing considering they underwrite for the majority of US insurance companies .. anyone wanna see every insurance company in the country go under in a day?

There have been twenty six bank failures so far this year .. expect about 100 more (no joke) ..

Lehman brothers went bankrupt, one of the biggest investment banks in the world ..

Citigroup, Wachovia, HSBC, JP Chase Morgan, Bank of America are all on the list of problem banks, soon to fail ..

IndyMac failed this year, the 2nd largest bank in the country ..

In the past two days the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped 812 points, the most since 9/11 .. It's going to drop another 400 points tomorrow .. The Nasdaq also dropped 7% in just two days and will continue to fall as well ..

China and Japan WILL pass us in economic growth, we WILL hit a recession, and inflation WILL rise .. It's inevitable at this point ..


BUT HEY, AT LEAST OUR ECONOMY IS FUNDAMENTALLY STRONG, RIGHT JOIN MCCAIN? Fuck you.
