You know those long lines for the Apple products and new release video game systems? That's how it was when a new meijers was hiring in March. Same thing happen when a walmart was hiring as well. The line wrapped around the building.

Good analogy, "Jwo"! And, speaking of the lines that form for the new Apple products, what does that say about "everyone" not having any income? Guess 'someone' has $ to spend!

Trust me, they didn't pay for the TV or pS3 either. They were purchased on a credit card that is currently past due.

That's what I was about to reply. There's a good chance with all the toys, there's all the credit card debt with it.

Way too much credit card debt out there. People make fun of me, I have an old style tube TV, not a new fancy flat screen. My cell phone is the cheap one that comes with the plan. I have modest cars that are paid for. I may not have the nicest things, but they are paid for. What good is it to have all that stuff if your going to lose it anyway??? Even if you can pay the bill, then you have to work your tail off at 2 jobs to keep it all, or have one super career to pay the bill. Many people have made themselves slaves to the stuff in their houses. How liberating it is to free yourself from all the debt that most people acrue. Dave Ramsey is dead on right about debt. Too bad he is not the president, our goverment could learn from him as well.

I don't know if you saw this today, but I saw a little ticker at the bottom of the TV screen saying that Ford was going to create 170 (or 340, as it may have been in two areas, it wasn't clear) over TWO YEARS in hybrid/fuel cell cars. 170/340 jobs in two years.... pop the champagne! What a joke!
