10 Signs That The American People Are Starting To Freak Out About The Condition Of The Economy
Hawaii News Daily ^ | July 15, 2011 | Michael Snyder

All over America, restlessness and frustration are growing. It has now been almost three years since the great financial crash of 2008, and yet the U.S. economy is still a complete and total mess. In fact, there are all sorts of signs that things are about to get even worse, and the American people are just about fed up. Virtually every major poll, survey and measure of consumer confidence shows that the American people are becoming more pessimistic about the economy. Millions of hard working Americans that worked their fingers to the bone for their employers and that did everything “right” are sitting at home on their couches tonight staring blankly at the television. Many of them still have a hard time believing that they were laid off and that there is nobody out there that wants to give them a good job. There are millions of other Americans that won’t get much sleep tonight because they will spend much of the night rolling around in bed wondering how they are possibly going to be able to pay the mortgage. We have never faced such an extended economic downturn in modern U.S. history, and a lot of people are starting to freak out about the condition of the economy.

That's why this is rightly called not a recession or a depression, but the Great Oppression.

Everyone is freaking out but the unemployed racist blacks that just lost their house, because all that matters to them is the color of the presidents skin.

“Let’s be fair. This isn’t Obamas fault,”

Yes, by all means, let’s be fair:

TARP — Obama
Obamacare — Obama
20% unemployment in CA — Obama
Crippled oil drilling — Obama
Surrender of Afghanistan — Obama

My fingers are tired...

I’ve seen the same thing. One of the stations I drive by daily had $3.65 for the longest time. One morning I drive by and it is $3.78. I might have forgotten to look one day, but it is still a fast increase.

And once Americans REALLY begin to freak out,Obama will get to declare martial law, and postphone the 2012 elections. Obama is certainly doing ALL he can to ruin the economy, polarize our society and convert the USA to poverty as a basis for futire socialism.Tghis loast weeks defined bad boys of polarized hatred were corportate ececutives and theor corporate jets who refuse to eat their peas.Our nation deserves much better that a version of Mugabe as the president of the United States.

Manwhile the GOP opposition is trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory. True, genuine leaders of our nation are decried and villified in the press that seems to also suffer from more than just a dereliction of traditional duty, they are screaming propagandists for our version of Mugabe in the White House.Their histrionics add to the polarization of America.

This is no time for Americans to freak out, it is time for Americans to get deadly cool and calculating in order to throw out the liberal fascist regime which now threatens our way of life.

Prices are going up on everything. They want riots, they’ll get them. They want more illegals, they’ll get them. They want higher taxes, they’ll get them. It is said that the WH wants at least half of everything you make. He needs more money to pay his cronies.

It’s nation-wide; here in Florida, gasoline prices have gone up about 20 cents per gallon in the last week and a half.

Yup, and have you also noticed the distinct lack of coverage. I'd figure at least Hannity would be mentioning it.

# 7 (at the linked article) is interesting. People are becoming desperate to sell anything for money. Every story about copper thieves is another sign.

We are preparing to sell appropriate armbands suitable for identifying YOUR SIDE in any public confrontation.

I may need one, if the SHTF. I'm a melanin enriched conservative who can easily be mistaken for one of "Holder's people".

The foreign labor force is destroying traditional salary/benefits structures in jobs that used to cover the cost of living.

Tell me about it. Competition from illegal labor has virtually destroyed the business that my wife and I sweated ten years to build. What used to provide us with a comfortable, above average income, now barely keeps us afloat.

Do blacks and Commies make up that much of the population?

No, but that is not the relevant number. I heard the other day that 70,000,000 Americans are getting a check from the Federal Government. About 100,000,000 Americans vote in our national elections. Those my friend are the relevant numbers.

Speaking of gasoline, we just got back from dropping our son off at camp in Nebraska. The gas stations we filled up at all sold super unleaded for a cheaper price than regular unleaded. That’s not the case here in Denver/Colorado. Anyone know the reason?

Ever since Ben Bernanke mentioned QE 3, gas prices have been rising in central Indiana....about 30 cents per gallon.

Oh, darned, you will need our CHINESE RED color ~ to overcome the contrast ~ with the blinking LED array on the margins.

Otherwise buddy I'm afraid you are out of luck ~ they won't know where you stand.

I hope Zero doesn't think this economy will turn around before the 2012 elections, because it aint going to happen..

Au contraire. All is going as planned.

Ruin America.

And the 'quiet riots' are becoming noisy - just what they plan on? Why would he worry about the election? There ARE no elections during Martial Law.

I wonder if it isn't dangerous to wait for an election that may not happen. Someone needs to drop to dime and get the truth of ineligibility out there - while there's still time.

Can’t remember about Nebraska, but it is like that in Iowa because the “super” is higher octane 10% ethanol blend; the regular contains no ethanol. Probably the same deal.
