“The Worst Is Yet to Come”: If You’re Not Petrified, You’re Not Paying Attention”

[Allan from Fallbrook]

[quote=Rt.66][quote=flu]Don’t forget to blame Japan,China, imports, immigrants (legal or illegal), walmart, honda, toyota, hyundai, elitists (i.e. folks with college degrees), doctors, lawyers,wall street bankers for our problems.

All of these traitors are destroying the middle class.

Buchanan for 2012:
“Bring Pride Back to Americans (some at least)”

Flu i don’t blame Japan or Toyota and I never said ANYTHING about imigrants you nerd. Japan is doing what they need to do, they fight for jobs. I blame people like you. Tiny minded, self-centered, ego nuts that can’t see the big picture. You are not alone, there are too many like you.

You will in the next few years come to a point where you feel as though your job is threatened and at that point hopefully you will get a sick feeling in your stomach over calling for hundreds of thousands of folks to lose their jobs because you, from far, far away have judged them lazy, over paid and incompetent. Karhma’s a bitch.

No entire work force is like that, including the UAW. There are good and bad workers in every large company and every union.

I never said Drs., lawyers or folks with degrees are elite and you know it. Most people know what is meant by “elite” and I’m tired of trying to dumb things down for you.

For everyone else, apologies on the Buchanan thing. I only like his trade stance (should have noted that).

Scarlet: You’re doing it again. I realize FLU didn’t have his Snark button turned on, but his comments weren’t addressed to you personally. He was being snide, but it wasn’t personal.

Like TG, he’s one of the more centrist and centered posters on the board and I can guarantee he wasn’t sniping at you. You need to take what’s being said with a grain of salt and realize that most of the folks that post here regularly have a finely honed response mechanism.

This is supposed to be good fun and not heavy lifting.

And, for God’s sake, don’t apologize for liking Buchanan. He’s one of the last remaining Paleo-conservatives roaming the earth and, along with Newt Gingrich, represents a solid link to Goldwater conservatism. Yeah, he can drift a little bit into demagoguery, but he’s a damn sight better than Limbaugh or McCain.

Wise words again from Allen, well said.

PadreBrian and SD Realtor this is not a gloomers only post. Weigh in with something a little more substantive than a drive-by, or be funnier:)

“What’s your take? If you are sunny positive thinker….where are the jobs going to come from? What will stop the downward slide in housing and CRE? How many folks are gonna keep paying on a house $200k-$500k upside down? How long will they keep paying? How many foreclosures does it take to break the bank?”

I’ll add:

How long can we keep buying our stuff from other countries, on credit, before we decide that our National budget deficit is too high?

The turkey gets fed everyday by his benevolent human owners. The cow says to the turkey “you better stop going back there because you are going to get killed”. The turkey says “you’re crazy, it happens the same everyday so it has to happen that way again.” “That is just the way things work, look at my charts of past feeding cycles, the same thing for recorded feeding history.” “Now please cow stop being such a pessimist”

-Improvisation of a Nassim Taleb quote

We have hugely expensive debt-addicted governments. Tax receipts are collapsing and a little birdie is squeaking about the debt spigot getting turned off.

Real unemployment will be passing 20% in short order.

The financial surrealism which has been at the heart of stock market trends, financial indicators and political commentaries in the past two months, is in fact the swan song of the referential framework within which the world has lived since 1945.

Tax revenues are a huge issue no doubt! Will the Gov. just print up the shortfall? What an odd concept huh?

I attended a grad cerimony for CSUSM yesterday and at just one of two cerimonies held that day for CSUSM there were a LOT of graduates. This is going on all over the country in every city. I could not help but think about the poor job climate they were entering. Not only are they adding to the available inventory of workers in a contracting market, 401ks being bankered into 200.5ks has dwindled the retirement ranks. More coming in and less going out.

I wonder how students seeking work are included in employment numbers? Anyway, its sad.
