Experts: Expect the Worst for the Economy
News Max ^ | August 5, 2009 | Arnaud de Borchgrave

Is the U.S. economy now in the eye of a hurricane about to be hit again with still fiercer winds? Another humongous credit crunch and major social dislocations are predicted as millions of jobs fail to come back.

Two major entrepreneurial tycoons, in the multibillion-dollar league, with worldwide interests, speaking anonymously, agree that the worst is yet to come.

America has to reinvent itself for the 21st century, but this won't happen before another big credit-rattling shock. Millions of jobs are not coming back, they said.

They were speaking about the current global financial and economic crisis. Another humongous credit crunch is on the way, they believe, and the current optimism is simply a pause before another major downward slide.

Unemployment, they forecast, will climb from the low to the high teens. A pledge to limit tax increases to those making more than $250,000 a year is a pipedream. Someone has to pay the health piper.

No more blaming Bush, that is long past, this clown must take the hits for what he has done, he can’t pass the buck, well to some maybe, but the rest of us are not stupid—just outnumbered on occasion.

And here I am “retired” (but still working), grandchildren out there, this is not what I wanted to see happen at all but oh well, let’s gather ourselves up and get back into the fight. Our reward is NOT in this life...

Yeah, I agree. I can’t read stuff like this. Why make yourself miserable even before something that might happen happens?

"Gun show in WPB this w/e. Bro-in-law wants a .380 Kel Tec pocket pistol. Around $300."

My gun knowledgeable friend has been recommending that for me.

I have been leaning toward getting this.

>> I’m out.

Could you angle that gun down just a little? We taxpayers don’t want to take care of your ass if you merely incapacitate yourself.

And who are these two ? If they won't go on the record this piece is no more than idle chat.

Still, I'm beginning to think the GIs should come home from EU/NATO, time for them to take care of themselves.

Try Bersa Thunder 380, much cheaper and arguably better too.
It’s an Argentinian clone of the Walther PPK.

Plus a new study coming out that Viagra and other ED pills cause temporary insanity. If the insanity lasts more than four hours you’re supposed to seek medical help.
