Well boys and girls, I hope that the hangover fom Tuesday has finally worn off because if it hasn’t I am going to give you some sobering news.
Our economy is fucked the fuck up. President BUSH gambled on this Iraqi war for several reasons. One of them was to uplift the U.S. economy through the revitalization of the military industrial complex.

We are facing a massive downturn in our economy and this may mean more unemployment and inflation for some of us.

THE HOUSING BUBBLE POPS
I am not telling you not to buy a house if it will be for you to live in, but certainly don’t buy any property if you are looking to speculate. This is where many of us have assumed debt that will not be turned around as quickly. The rate at which real estate was appreciating was unchecked by the feds and now we have too many properties that were over-appraised.
