My connection is slow for some reason. I have no sound. I wish I could hear what's being said. Low wages definitely aren't going to spur on a recovery, and I doubt that jigging interest rates alone will drive a labour induced recovery very fast.

And things like this won't help matters.

yup, it is a system problem. Big Business is sucking the life out of society.

Yes, I remember Reagan and the cold war machine. He created jobs but began building what would become the largest national debt in world history. Chickenhawks are always warning other countries on what's sustainable. Thanks RosaL.

It's not just people who are hurting.

quote:
Forget about the lost furnishings and finances, the most pitiful victims of the subprime mortgage crisis rocking the United States are the family pets.

Shelters across the country have seen sharp upticks in the number of people giving up their pets in recent months because they have been forced out of their homes.

And -- more tragically -- neighbors, police and foreclosure agents are finding increasing numbers of pets left to fend for themselves in abandoned homes.
