Gas Prices

[elgordoboy]

A strong dollar and folks complain about jobs leaving and "illegals" stealing work all while unemployment remained very low. Shouldn't jobs be returning now with a weak dollar and the "illegals" fleeing in the face of eroding purchasing power of the $ and rising unemployment? Where is the cheering? For myself I would prefer the problems brought by a stronger dollar when I didn't have a legitimate fear of losing my job.

Don't hold your breath waiting for things to change..........America has morphed from a country whose economy was based on "making stuff" to a country whose economy is based on "buying stuff." That's why people wet their pants at the thought of the grand opening of Pier Park; the extension of Silver Sands and Destin Commons; and in anticipation of the "economic stimulus/welfare check."

Dear Elgordoboy,

I am sorry to inform you that the dollar is gone and will not be coming back. I would give you some advise, but seeing as you don't know me it would probably not be fair to you.

I will say this, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was asked what Americans should do to prepare for the crises which will be coming within the next couple of years. His advice was to go buy a gun. He was not joking!

What is your advice? I don't know Dr. Paul Craig Roberts and I don't feel sharing his advice is unfair to me. What does he recommend I do with this gun once I have it in my possesion?

it's quite sad, and very distressing. we suffer from affluenza, and it doesn't look like we're going to get better anytime soon.

I want to personally thank Dr. Roberts for unseating me from my position as the Overlord of Economic Doom and Gloom.

I think I'll take a few days off to reconnect with my family; catch up on my scrapbooking; and catalog my Beanie Babies.

Thanks to all my loyal subjects.

Ours made the jump last week. Wow, I didn't realize we had the big city prices too.

Just in time for spring break.:roll:

I find this post very reassuring. I went and read a couple of articles by Dr. Roberts and subsequently started cleaning the Walther and blowing the dust off of the S&W .40. I'll go put them back in the locked closet....but keep the key close.
