do you think all this talk of the economy being in lowest in yrs is really helping?vanishing jobs.veterans finding it harder to find jobs than civilians really helps to see this info being filtered through the news daily doesn't it?

You cant even believe the news anymore. Its all too political. But yeah, the economy seems to be kinda crappy.

Would you rather everyone turn a blind eye to the problem, or would you rather have the information out there so a multitude of different people can come together to solve the problem, instead of relying on the establishment to solve it for us?

I think the Media not "news" theres no such thing anymore, the Media is Making out to be Worse than it really is.

yeah watching this daily i'll just get out there and change it.gee let me get my magic wand out

We are in a recession

recession or depression it changes daily

Does anybodt know what the difference is between recession and depression?

only what the news defines it as

(LOL) That was funny but probably true!

You've had a history class, Tina. That is where the information is located. One can't always rely on the media.

Recession is slow growth in the whole United States economy, depression is losing jobs and capital in the economy.

it was a joke people calm down

Either way it sounds scarey !1 Thanks for the info.

does it matter either way i'm broke ..do they really think that 300 dollars is going to stimulate the economy for what maybe a week..i calculate the package is worth a few tanks of gas and a couple of packs of smokes..but heres a question ..how come people in iraq get their gas for a dollar a gallon and our government has to pay three dollars a gallon for the same gas..

I don't think the media / news is making it out to be so bad. Because it is bad.

When gas / oil prices keep going up and people all over the world keep losing there current jobs and can not find new ones.

I mean if I could find a new job tomorrow then I'd be happy as hell, but the fact of the matter is I've been looking for a new job for some time is crazy, when I say some time I mean well over two years and or more.

I mean if I could wave a magic wand my self then gas prices would go back to the $1.30 mark I remember seeing a long time ago, a long with more jobs opening nation wide. But the fact remines we will never see these types of things ever again..

I mean we could probably see as long as Bush is in the White house and if MCcain get's in there record high gas prices probably no doubt up to $8 dollares or more, I mean Truck drivers are slowing down so stores do not keep in stock as well as they used to because of gas prices.

This and everything pisses me off a bit to much just thinking about it.

Yes we are all in a recession or at least a good number of us are right now, which you can thank Bush and every body else working a long side President Bush.

The sad part is Bush see's noting wrong going on and could care less, because his family owes a big part of the oil companys and what not, and he could care less about jobs because he has the best one right now.

Bottom line Bush doesn't give a rat a$$ about america or the american people, and either does John MCcain.. since there both on sides with each other.

for real on that and how is it we let our country rely on foreign coutries that gulge gas up whenever they can.where was the forethought in this?i bet the people that pre bought gas at $1.00 a gallon are really bennefitting now.if only we were all rich enough to do that yrs back.i bet many of you didn't even know of that

lets just give better tax breaks to the companys that make the most that will solve everything.

i just bet i would have put ****ing economy this thread would have thripled by now

I knew about pre-bought gas.
