After nearly 2 years of looking for a job I finally have an interview with Lockheed in a couple weeks so I am hoping to see my financial situation improving.


As far as the rest of the economy goes, it rides just as much on consumer confidance than i does on earnings reports. Obama's scare tactics are doing nothing but hurting the overall economy. People that are making money right now are 'hiding it under their matress'. The people that are not making money are getting deeper in debt. The people in the middle are paying down any debt they can instead of buying.

You will never have confidence in Wall St. when you have Washington and the MSM blaming everything on them. You will never have confidence in Washington until they quit with the political games. The "stimulous" plan is a great example. Nearly half of this bill is wasted spending if you want to think of stimulous. Some of it is good legislation, but it is being added in the wrong place. 10's of billions of dollars are going to areas that could NEVER create a single job. Such as the 150M for honey bee insurance or the ~5B for community groups.

As for the Bush haters, I actually think the war in Iraq is even moer important now than it was when the economy was strong. It is keeping half a million americans employed and making damn good money. Most of that money is being spent right here in the US. Bring back those people and we will have an immediate influx of ~400k people with no job to go back to.
