Has the bubble burst? - Page 11

Everything is impacted by the economy so why would pup sales be any different. 

From an economic stand point you cannot run your household the way the government has been doing business.  The federal credit card has maxed out.  Trickle down economics is voodoo economics.  In theory it should work but then greed steps in.  That's why the definition of money m1, m2 and m3 were changed when Reagan took office in the 80's.  Super CD's were created to allow for money to be kept and hoarded.  Not trickled down and reinvested.  There is a natural rate of unemployment from 4 to 6 percent.  Anything lower than that and you have infation.  Unemployment statistics can be used and manipulated for anyones benefit.  There is a group called the hardcore unemployed.  They are a group that has not worked for 18 months or longer.  They are NOT counted in the unemployment numbers.  Romney said that the decline in stock prices just means its a great opportunity to buy stocks.  Well you can only do that, dummy ,if you have money.  Should I put gas in the car or invest in walmart? Some people will never get it. The arrogance! Go hunting and shoot someone in the face and don't report it.  See what happens to you.

"Ameriquest Mortgage founder Roland E. Arnall, 68, a Billionaire who became a symbol of the Subprime lending industry he helped create, died March 17 at the UCLA Medical Center. Esophageal cancer was diagnosed last week.


Mr. Arnall, a Holocaust Survivor who co-founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center, had resigned as President Bush's Ambassador to the Netherlands on March 7...

 He was chiefly known as a Pioneer of lending to high-risk, or "subprime," borrowers. Using databases to identify customers and set loan terms, he partnered with Wall Street companies that provided funding and bundled his loans into mortgage-backed bonds, the business whose recent meltdown has shaken the Global Financial system."

This economy was caused BY The Fed, & Presided over by Bush..and his appointments to various posts..from World bank President to his cabinet.

DRFN..Your cheerleading makes me sick. The USA is now Broke, beyond repair.   We cannot pay our bills.  Its not If but When,  we collapse.  Of Bush's appointees, nary a one doesnt have a scandal attached to them..Wolfowitz, Libby Liebowitz, Gonzales, etc.  

The OPEN border is being Overrun,  the Military is overstretched in a war ON Lies, & the Banks are being bailed out By the Feds.  Oil was $3 a barrel in 1973 before Nixon airlifted aid to Israel in their war. Oil is now 33xs that price in 30 years.  A Creditor Nation to a Debtor.   Most Loved Nation to Most Hated.  Constitutional Republic  to Tyrannical Police State.  USA Media is ranked 53rd of 165 nations, in 2006 Worldwide Media Freedom Index Poll, based on 50 criteria..USA edged out Mozambique & Bulgaria, declining steepy since Bush.  The entire lot of Congress, along with this corrupt admin needs to be Impeached. Consitution restored, Fed Dismantled, Military brough home & placed on the border.

The Human Development Index - going beyond income

Each year since 1990 the Human Development Report has published the human development index (HDI) which looks beyond GDP to a broader definition of well-being. The HDI provides a composite measure of three dimensions of human development: living a long and healthy life ( Life expectancy), being Educated (measured by Adult literacy and having a decent Standard of Living ( purchasing power parity, PPP, income). , which gives the country a rank of 12^th out of 177 countries with data. "

12th...Prestige is gone, & you will see further declines in standard of living.

A copy of my post on "Greatest threat to the GSD";

Regardless of your emotions about our involvement in the middle east, the cold, hard fact is that the current administration has taken the most affluent country in the world and plunged it head first into bankruptcy....and it will not be getting out of the toilet for at least a decade, no matter who fills the White House for the next 4 to 8 years. If your breeding business is dependant on the disposable income of the upper middle class, you would best start looking for a new way to make money, and back your kennel down to being a hobby for the time being. On the other side, breeding PPD's and/or K-9's could be very lucrative, as a crime wave is inevitable in a recession/depression economy.

================================

While you are at it, invest your disposable income in dependable firearms, and keep them where the law enforcement community cannot confiscate them; the next administration may very well use the Patriot Act to take them away from you.
