The Economy and other mild ramblings

Let's see if I understand the issues:

1. Ten percent of all homes in this country with mortgages are in default.


2. Millions of boomers lost their pensions (reform act was at least 5 years too late).


3. Millions of jobs have been lost due to NAFTA and greed.


4. U.S. Stock Market is tanking.


5. We attacked Iraq under false pretenses spending trillions.


6. CEO's now make millions after they wreck a company.

Solutions heard so far:

1. Give everyone a rebate on their taxes. Prop up greedy banks and the like where the aroma of fast money over rode the stink of the ridiculously poor business decision.


2. Pension Reform act - see above.


3. Rhetoric from Dems indicate we need to reform this treaty. GOP loves it as free traders.


4. See 1,2,3.


5. No WMD. No we have one party saying we will be there for 100 years and another will start getting out tomorrow. Do we still have troops in Japan, Korea, Germany? Can't we just be honest and realistic for once.


6. Not seen as a problem in our new culture of greed.

It is good to know however that we may soon find out whether or not Roger Clemens shot steroids up his back side. Thank you Congress, I was worried for a while.
