United States Economy

[SallyA]

I'm far from being an economics expert, but I can put two and two together to get four. The United States is in economic trouble, but just how big is that trouble? Our national debt is rising at an astronomical rate, houses in some cities are being sold for pennies on the dollar, jobs are still difficult to find in many areas, and it seems like our leaders are still spending massive amounts of money that we do not have.

If this goes on, where is the United States going to end up? Is it possible that we will experience a total economic collapse and hardships like we have never seen before, or can the economy somehow rebound?

Naw, I think the stock markets are getting better and will only get better from here. At this point, it's more psychological after the right policies are put in place. But then again what the hell do I know?

Ah, the DOW is off about a 1,000 points for the week, as of this morning, and I'm looking at a bunch of losers for the day. Hold on, I see a bright spot, GM is still at $.75 and not losing. Oh wait, my bad, I forgot their stock is suspended from trading while they make up more lies about paying us our money back.
