"As the meeting in Mr. Cheney's office progressed, it became clear that the vice president was ready to weigh in on what the president should do to bolster the economy, and his standing with voters worried about the economy, as the second half of his term began. A package of tax proposals, led by a 50% cut in the individual tax on dividends, had been all but buried since Mr. O'Neill took his stand against it in early September...
After the midterms, though, Mr. O'Neill could sense a change inside the White House...Now Mr. Cheney mentioned them again, how altering the double taxation of dividends would provide some economic stimulus. Mr. O'Neill jumped in, arguing sharply that the government "is moving toward a fiscal crisis" and then pointing out "what rising deficits will mean to our economic and fiscal soundness." Mr. Cheney cut him off. "Reagan proved deficits don't matter," he said.
Mr. O'Neill was speechless, hardly believing that Mr. Cheney -- whom he and Mr. Greenspan had known since Dick was a kid -- would say such a thing. Mr. Cheney moved to fill the void. "We won the midterms. This is our due." Mr. O'Neill left Mr. Cheney's office in a state of mild shock."

Well, Bush has basically screwed us for the next...decade? The money we're wasting in Iraq and now we're in a terrible position being stuck. We're pretty much fucked until we get someone new in office. the dollar has fallen apart with world currencies.... it's a mess to travel internationally now. Sucks big time for people like me who really like it.
- you are still fucked even after bush's grandgrandgrandkid retires from presidency9832892398

I bet it's in huge part tailored by current administration. The recent rescue proposal was so lame they must've known it would cause panic. Before dubya's out they'll make more than they did in Iraq

It's just people w/ terrible money management. It's like not unemployment has skyrocketed and people are fighting for janitor jobs to feed their family. I'm changing jobs right now, and I'm not worried.
It's just stupid people who were stupid w/ money, and now it's coming back to them. I'm sure this will happen with a bunch of GenY tards "I'm entitled to everything, wah wah wah, I will only work for myself"Save some money!
- Is that the George W. Bush understanding of the economy then?TheBlueOne

shit's not worth the cotton it's printed on anyways. Nothing behind it to back it up except for a figure in a computer. Power goes out and your shit out of luck. The richest people will have the longest burning fires until the rest of us steal their fire with our pointy sticks.

we had a false boom created by credit- easy money, now we're seeing a correction. good thing the fed exists, right? their whole point is so we never see another depression, right? just these little "recessions" instead. clearly the solution to hyperinflation is to print more money. this is sound eonomic theory here!
- ah. there you go: it's not imploding - it's just settling on reality.Corvo
- "we had a false boom created by credit- easy money, now we're seeing a correction. good thing the fed exists, right? " hahaha9832892398
- hahaha..stupid response indeed! a correction? don't make me laugh..9832892398
- simply emphasizing the irony though. there's no solution or correction.. just cramps9832892398

I don't fucking believe it. I just opened my studio door and the recession just lumbered right in. I tried to stop it, but it has a special dispensation and a laminated pass saying ACCESS ALL AREAS. Its here now, in my studio. The recession is right here. Its over in the corner just now looking at some back issues of Eye Magazine. It seems really depressed.
Spread the word, the recession is here. Its huge. It smells really damp. I gotta go, its just started crying.

Why the hell would a recruitment agency send you this crap?
Do they have an agenda with you? I think so.Idiotic American scare tactics. Repulsive imho.
Stock exchange markets are not the only factor in an economy. export (trade), consumption and confidence in the market are major ingredients as well.
- ..and these other factors have been really good lately. At least here.9832892398

Weave, its a gambler bemoaning the snap-back that has just completely cleaned out the big cash reserve he'd built up shooting craps. He's had a bad week. He's lost 80% of his fortune in two days. he sees no future. He's lost hois sex drive, his desire to socialise and 5lbs... all in the last two day's trading. he's predicting big bank collapse and numerous suicides in the financial arena. He concludes by thanking the short traders for fucking everything up.
- Thanks Spooky. It's not easy to feel sorry for him and I'm not one for trying.weave
- Don't feel sorry for him at all..but there's going to be lots of people out there like this...TheBlueOne
