Personal Income Drops Across the Country - WSJ.com

Quote:

Personal income in 42 states fell in 2009, the Commerce Department said Thursday.

Nationally, personal income from wages, dividends, rent, retirement plans and government benefits declined 1.7% last year, unadjusted for inflation.

What will happen as obama continues to squeeze the lemon dry?

I guess there will be trouble when you run out of other people's money to spend.

For all of 2009? LOL. Wasn't there a recession or something in 2009??? Boy, this health care thing really has you all rattled...

No Kidding. I wonder how far it's going to go. I am really worried for the safety of our elected officials. I am really worried about Obama's safety. Some of these people are just tetched. I mean, job losses and this recession go wayyyyyyyy back to Bush.

Then therein lies the answer.

We are mortgaged up to our hohoodillies to China and the only collateral we have to offer is the war in Iraq.

Let's default on the war payments and let China have it for what we owe them.
