economy: Waiting for the worm to turn. - 11/07/08 06:25 AM
Having too many people tell me the same thing convinces me that most folks who should be doing something to help get this economy re-started are just waiting for the worm to turn.  It seems like watching grass grow, to take forever for those with the ability to make things happen to get around to it.  True, I sound like the typical 21st Century mentality, I want it now, but I do.  Waiting for people to get over their fear factor, their indecisiveness, their procrastination, just drives me crazzzzzzyyy!  Come on America, the election is over, the banks did not collapse, … (4 comments)

economy: What is the difference between this pre-election economy and the last one? - 07/29/08 02:46 PM

economy: Believe the press and we will be at their mercy. - 03/04/08 01:39 PM
Whenever I hear the news people talking or when I read about their perspectives on the Real Estate Market or the economy or whatever topic they act like they have all the answers about, I remember the source.  These are people who are paid to daily publish a story that will attract the public's attention.  They talk about the politicians being able to spin stories to give them an advantage, and sometimes it may be true, but look at who is calling the kettle you know what.  I think they are more influential upon public opinion than they could imagine and … (2 comments)
