Jobs will come back, because the elderly (rich and poor) will be forced from retirement when the dollar loses half its value on a daily basis.

Two million, is that all? Hell, a million here a million there, pretty soon you are talking REAL numbers... err people.

Good, maybe when enough people are living under a bridge eating dog meat and rice, things will finally change around this joint because that is what it will take to change anything around here.

Do you really think it will take this little for things to change? Sometimes, I think it will never change! lol!!! The Senate met yesterday (on Sunday) to pass a multi Billion dollar lands bill!

Yes, I do think it will take something of this magnitude to awaken people from their zombie like state. An empty belly is probably one of the greatest motivational factors known and once we get past the point where Sunday football is removed from our diet and hunger sets in, then things change.

Think about it, why would a fat, happy, distracted population of people with 400 bucks worth credit on their card care about anything? Change doesn't happen when folks are warm and plump, it happens when they are under the bridge eying up spot the wonder hound for chop steaks.
