I have decided that if the House does not vote yes on this bill we WILL be in a depression within days if not hours. I don’t think we have the luxury of testing investors again. If this bill fails the stock market will crash and we will all be screwed.

Not that it really matters to me, I don’t have anything to lose I’m already to the point where i wonder about food, clothing and bills, oh wait my family always had to worry about this. This is nothing new, luckily we live in an area where we have room to plant food and hopefully get though everything. On the other hand we may lose the house and end up with nothing.

If the bill passes I still see hard times for a while, really all this will do is keep is in an almost recession type thing, of course here in Michigan we already are in a recession, so pretty much nothing will change here either.

What do you think about all of this, do you think if this bill passes we will be okay, or do you think it won’t help anything.

I spent some time reading this morning and I was saddened by some of the things I read. People are selling most of their belongings just to pay bills and keep from losing their homes. Now I’m not talking about replaceable things like a TV or a mp3 player, but things that have been in families for generations. These things they will probably never see again. It’s hard when you have to go though things like this. Losing things that mean a lot so you is hard, I know I have lost many things over the years most of it was destroyed in a tornado that hit the shed I had my things in when I moved back from Texas. I flew back and was going to go back and get my stuff, but then it was too late.

Right now everyone is experiencing that loss and it’s so hard. Yet the president and other government officials think that we are just in a slowdown, what does it feel like to you, a slowdown or a recession?

I haven’t’ gone on a not about me rant in a while, so I decided today after hearing again about auto workers striking that it was time. What makes me mad about this strike is that these people make $70 an hour. This does include benefits, so knock it down to about 50 an hour. There made because the company wants to pay them half that. so there still going to make 25 an hour.

Greedy people annoy me. My opinion is be happy your working and shut up. Your factory could just move to china and you’ll be out of luck and out of work. $25 an hour really is not that bad considering you not a skilled worker. You didn’t go to school and if you did you don’t usually have to get a bachelors degree. So your making all this money, you don’t have to pay for loans and you have been able to buy whatever you want. Well heres a way to deal with the pay cut, sell the vacation home and the boat and deal with it just like everyone else.

The worst part is this strike is in another state, the reason I’m hearing about it is it has closed 3 factories here in Michigan, we have been a recession for 2 years and your putting more people out of work because of your greed. This is why I hate unions.
