Welcome back, Pam, and I fully agree with your post -

[Diane Amberg]

Personally, I'm not talking because I've been listening...to everyone of any party who has been talking on TV and trying to figure out what is going to happen. It's a little over my head. Frankly, nobody knows if it will work even if they were to pass it today. The ramifications of all this are very wide and very deep.  I'm going to watch more of the hearings while I make cookies.

I hear you Diane, I've been watchin most of my tv viewin time lately. There are a lot of ramifications........think they need to slow down and get out of panic mode myself. It didn't happen overnight and it ain't gonna go away overnite.

Diane, my sentiments exactly, I don't think anyone knows enough to talk about it. In my opinion the high cost of energy is the main culprit that along with sending all of our jobs overseas and creating a trade deficit that is staggering has caused the housing crisis and the mess we are in. Pointing fingers isn't the answer now, the answer is trying to dig out of it and that won't be easy. Unfortunately I don't think we have seen the worst of the energy crisis, and it will take along time and lots of capital and research to solve that problem.

The culprit is buildin a whole sector of the economy on money that didn't exist. Too much credit and not enough hard assets under it , livin beyond the means. Greed in other words.

Yeah, we'll dig out of it. Cause THAT'S what we do. People who lived WITHIN their means, save their money instead of gamblin with it. We'll ALL dig out of it.

But I really like gambling Pam...

me too, but I use my own money and if I don't have it, I don't gamble.  (been a long long time since I done any gambling  ) just had a thought, should I go gambling and over-extend my resources, you reckon the government would bail me out?
