If we have a government shut down...

Don't let me wake you from your slumber, but the US is on the verge of an economic boom.

 

I'm sorry but that just isn't true. I see it everyday with my customers. While things are gloom and doom there is no economic boom around the bend. If you truly believe there is tell me why?

[Theoldguy]

Well they did get paid but the commissary at 8pm will be close and will stay close until the shut down is over. Commissary BTW = Base Grocery store where military families can shop at a discount, as most of these young families don't make a ton of money serving our Country.

 

Dam shame that those in Washington treat those who unlike them, serve our Country out of love, duty and patriotism, instead of greed for themselves!

 

Can't say I am very happy right now with our Elected officials, as they are messing with my kids and you don't want to mess with my kids, even if they are in their twenty's and on their own. I guess I am a Dad just looking out for his kids......:rage::no:

I won't dig in to what has happened in the stock market over the past couple years. The numbers speak for themselves. Here is why the US is about to explode economically.

 

First and foremost, the US is going to be completely oil independent in the very near future.

 

1. Most people do not believe the US will be oil independent until about 2030 to 2035.

 

2. The oil that is produced by the US will go on the same market as OPEC oil is. It's not as if the oil is going to stay "in country." China and Europe will have to export almost 100% of their oil .

Economy isnt good for us average people, groceries very high, gas still over 3.00, health insurance going up, taxes are getting higher, and NO RAISES. Yeah maybe economy is good for you rich people, but its always good on the rich side aint it. Poor dont matter.

 

Hit the nail on the head. Answer isn't taxing them more. Big business cares solely about the bottom line and that is all. They loyalty to the worker is non-existent, they will just replace you once you walk out the door no matter how much you given their company or how long you have been there. To me, its a problem with a solution that will never be reached because most of the rich only want to get richer, pure greed is ruining this country.

....they will try to keep veterans out of the WWII memorial - and fail.

If you walk out and your company replaces you you weren't that valuable.

 

If you're not that valuable why should the company pay you a high wage?

 

I get tired of the "big business is a bunch of meanies" whining. They are not a charity. They ARE using you - just like you are using them them.

 

Provide value and you'll have a better chance of surviving and making a decent living.

 

"Big business cares only about the bottom line?" No kidding.

What is greed ? Are you saying you are not greedy. My man Milton hits nail on the head again.

Assume a compromise is where one side gives up something to gain some other thing. What is the compromise?

Well....maybe not...

 

DETROIT: GM, Toyota, VW sales stall out in September | National Business News | The State

 

Sales fell at General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen in September, an odd month that appears likely to snap a 27-month streak of gains for the U.S. auto industry.

GM Vehicle Sales Collapse 11% | Zero Hedge

 

 

• *GM U.S. SEPT. VEHICLE SALES FALL 11%, EST. DOWN 4.2%
  
  
• Inventory up to 82 days from 64 days!! (Surge to 670,191 units from 628,644 prior)
  

 

Lots of major companies reported revenue estimate misses and/or YTY reductions in Q1 and Q2. Q3 earning reports should be interesting.

 

 

Sometimes in our quest to find facts that fir our agendas, we overlook the patently obvious.

 

There were 2 fewer dales days for auto dealers in September 2013 than in September 2012.:sssh:

No agenda. Lets see Q3 top line numbers for all companies earnings come out - including GM. Many major companies top line revenue has been decreasing this year. They are only keeping the stock up by beating profits (through aggressive cost/staffing management). The declining top end numbers and need to feed the Street a good news story every quarter would seem to be hurting employment.

The longer this goes on, the more I want to get rid of every incumbent in Washington. If you are an incumbent, you are part of the problem. Complete failure by every person on both sides. Get em out and try a new group.

[jericho]

We need rid of:

Boener

McConnel

Pelosi

Reid

Feinstein

Obama

Obama will be gone in 2017, you will get that wish.

 

The others, I'm not so sure.
