hyok Posted December 8, 2008 The jobs report last week stated that over 500,000 lost employment in the month of November. That's one month, and every economist and analyst is expecting 2009 to be even worse. Â Not to derail this thread, but it would be a prudent move on the part of the taobum membership to at least take a few small measures in creating a storage of some kind, be it food, savings or even gold, because it's going to get a lot worse than most people realize before it gets better.

idquest Posted December 9, 2008 Don't hold your breath on this country being "for the people, by the people". The age of America is over. Â Some confusion is perhaps because politics and economics is mixed together in that sentence. The part country being "for the people, by the people is about the USA being a democratic polity which is true. Â The part The age of America is over is about economics. Are the American people ready and willing to spend less to recover? I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idquest Posted December 9, 2008 How is spending less going to help us recover? I always thought that to stabilize the economy we need to spend more on American products and services. Â As long as you spend the money you have earned, that's fine. Â But, the USA for a long time has been spending borrowed foreigners' money. Sooner or later, when you have accrued so much debt, you either dump you curency or default on a state debt. The examples of that are numerous. Â If the USA is willing to not spend, then it might dodge the bullet of a default/dumping the currency. Not likely to happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smile Posted December 15, 2008  Why do you say that?  It seems to me like Obama being elected was the choice of the majority. There are many reasons. Read: COMRADE BARAK OBAMA IS NOT AMERICA'S NEXT PRESIDENT Will Supremes review citizenship arguments? Why do they love Obama: try NLP.  Plus... This man has some pretty talk with zero accomplishments as a senator, except for a massive amount of lies.  Black LA Talk Radio Host Exposes Obama Lies Obama's Not Exactlys...  Terry Anderson, Black LA Talk Radio host listed the following "Not Exactlys" regarding many of Obama's claims... (http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/entry/obamas_not_exactlys1)    1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)    2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.    3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.    4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.    Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth!    5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.    6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.    Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From... .and f or more....go to.....    http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_  Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African    7.) I Never Practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.    4-3-08 Article 'Obama was 'quite religious in Islam'' http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559    8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).    February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'    9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.    10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.    11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.    12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine    13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.    14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.    15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.    16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 'NO' VOTES.    17.) Oops, I Misvoted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.    18.) I Was A Professor Of Law - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.    19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.    20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it or create it.    21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.    22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.    23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.    24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens . You failed to mention anyone else but yourse lf, in your books.    25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America - NOT EXACTLY, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.    26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.    27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.    28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.    29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel . ;    30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.    31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.    32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate - NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.    33.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - NOT EXACTLY, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.    34.) I Don't Take PAC Money - NOT EXACTLY, you take loads of it.    35.)

lino Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) where did our abundance mentality go  What happened was that a lot of people woke up.  Keep in mind that even during the Clinton years, wages never caught up to inflation. Even though, as far as real wages are concerned, Clinton was far better than Reagan, Pappy Bush, and Junior. Also, during that time frame, H1-Bs and illegal immigration were used to keep wages down. Service jobs were also moved overseas from the United States. Manufacturing jobs have been dwindling for decades.  Years and years ago, only a householder had to go to work in order to keep a household running. Then again, other ethnic groups had been abused so that someone somewhere can have their cake and eat it.  The situation NOW is where both adults out of a household have to work and it may be that one or both have to have two jobs, JUST TO GET BY...that is IF a job is available.
