Our economy can't pick up when the World Trade Organization is going to impose sanctions on us.

Wow, yeah a $28 million penalty is goint to shut down the exports from the US :rolleyes:

And Tom, what are you refering to? You always talk out your ass about politics, but never state any facts. All you like to do is bash Bush even though you don't know why. Quit being a follower and think for yourself.

A couple bucks in a barrel of oil equates to a few cents at the pump. We will see monetary sanctions on the store shelves regardless. Will we care or even notice it? Probably not. But my point is that it will not help the economy.

Yup Gas is high, Minimum wage is still dirt. Our economy maybe getting better but its still horseshit

Min. wage doesn't mean anything. It affects very few people in all reality, if it were to be raised to say $7/hr, that by no means makes and $8/hr. job go up. Not to mention a lot of businesses are exempt from the federal min. wage level.

My thoughts exactly!!!!!! What did we pledge for the tsunami relief? 800-900 million or whatever it was. We're billions in debt, we have a national trade deficit of over $660 billion and we're pledging money we don't have.
WTF. We spend millions of dollars on shuttle programs to get rock samples or whatever or put rovars on Mars.

Now i'm all worked up again.

Our country and economy MUST continue furthering knowledge and technology in order to stay afloat. The US economy actually needs a deficit in order to function properly.

Crude is at $55/ barrel right now. Within the next 3 years, they forecast it to be between $50 & $105 per barrel!!! That was a conservative amount they stated.

That doesn't mean a damn thing, basically they're saying, "Yup, it could go up or it might go down." Of course its probably going to go up, its called inflation, another thing this economy needs to stay afloat. Forcasts are rarely right and the only ones that get press are the ones at the extremes.

You know what the problem that fucks over the economy. Its the fucking forcasts. Get rid of them and then everything will be back to good prices. If they forcast high prices for oil, then why would you not set your prices high. am i right or am i drunk?

BINGO. Americans love drama and they love to overreact. Same thing with the media...watch the evening news and no matter where you live you'd think you're in the middle of Gangland just becuase it gets them the ratings and the attention. Look at weather forecasts too, everytime there is an upcoming storm their blinking all these red squares and talking about how its going to be the worst we've ever seen sincd 1903; ya thanks for warning me, 2 inches of snow fuck you and your red squares.

I hate red squares! It is very true that Americans just can't handle news and everyday life. I need Ryan Seacrest to run a two hour show with "live votes" via VIACOMs phone service and tune in every day just to know how to feel about something. If I have to step out and buy a five dollar coffee from starbucks, I can listen to Cory Foley keep me up to date. I hate this country. I hate the Media and hate the people that tell me not hate the people that hate me for hating their shitty lives.
