Are we in the lull before the crash or the lull before the economic turnaround (for the good)? A Daily Poll.
before the crash.
* Lull before the crash! (100%, 5 Votes)
* Lull before the economic turnaround. (0%, 0 Votes)
* Neither, we’re in a continual state of lullness. (0%, 0 Votes)
* What on earth are you talking about? (0%, 0 Votes)
the lull before the crash...
There could be a stock market rally, but that is only natural after a 60%+ drop in the Dow from its 2007 highs. Corporations are posting better than expected profits because of huge cutbacks. Things are “leveling out”, but I don’t see how any real private sector job creation comes about.
Great name for a rock band (Dave Barry).
before the crash. we are not coming ‘back’ to anywhere from this mess.
I don’t think either...I think it’ll be a long, long lull.
Another crash still coming. Trillions of dollars in commercial properties circling the toilet.
This is going to be bad...
We already had the dead cat bounce.
No way we will have any economic recovery with the Dems in charge of everything. The avg taxpayer with a little money left over is not spending any money. My guess is many are terrified.
Before the crash. :-(
have you noticed that the market seems to get better as the obamacare bill gets closer to dead?
Way to swerve into it, man (woman)! This president promised to 'hit the ground, running' (and boy, has he!). The stock market may bounce everytime jug-ear's face bounces off the pavement. (he really should go back to what he was good at: community organizing. America needs more 'organizing')
It’s summer and people are taking, what in their minds may be, the last affordable vacation they will ever have again.
There is a little money circulating. But when fall comes I think people are going to stop spending.
Inflation is going to be very noticible, but not by government official inflation index propaganda. Propaganda that has been off the real mark for several years......
I vote the lull before the crash.
There could? Guess what--we just had one. Might go up another few hundred points before the autumn crash, which is just about guaranteed.
The only thing that could save us is something like the advent of the internet...the natural thing would be alternative energy, but that doesn’t seem to be zooming along as expected. I just don’t see anything good on the horizon...
We are spending money. On supplies to see us through the crash.
Lull before crash.
Drill now.
Dump the greenies.
Deregulate everything (so people can earn something with what they have)
End all gov programs & the pensions & payrolls that go with getting nothing from tax money.
Close the borders.
End all foreign aid.
Take a hike UN.
Beef up military.
Learn a trade. Garden. Barter. Hunt.
If Dems get Communist Health Coverage and Cap ‘n Sham then it is DEFINITELY before the crash.
If not, I’m going with before the crash but with a quicker rebound and freedom intact on the other side.
If the hard-left gets what it wants we are totally, utterly, absolutely screwed for generations, if not forever.
The hard-left has been working feverishly for decades to get to this point. If they are allowed to win the day we will all cease to be free, prosperous people.
The paradigm will shift from individual freedom to huge, invasive government in all areas of our lives. From freedom to trying to survive under the thumbs of power mongering politicians.
