Don't believe one word from any public figure about the economy. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. The richest 1% now own more than 1/2 of all United States wealth. That is more than the upper,middle,and lower classes combined. Now,a recession is inevidable.
The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. But the rich won't stop. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. A total collapse of the US economy. The richest 1% will run off to their mansions and live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs,food,and gasoline.
Don't fall for this 'good will' BS from celebrities and executives. Remember... They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst depression of all time. Crime,poverty,and suicide will skyrocket. SEND A "THANK YOU" NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. Please copy and spread the word.

It really is that way if you think about it. Bankers and executives came up with the sub-prime mortage. The market was there because consumers were already low on free and clear assets. Executives and doctors are responsible for the MASSIVE campaign to get EVERYONE hooked on pharmaceuticals. Every product on the market is endorsed by some celebrity. If we buy anything, we support the advertising industry, the network, paper, magazine, or internet site that displayed the ad to begin with. Who in turn, pay the celebrity or pro athlete who endorsed it. The richest 1% definately run the game. So yes. There are many factors to consider but it does seem to come back to the richest 1% over and over again. If they would give the American consumer a break, maybe we could avoid a depression. Maybe, we should stop buying DVDs and game tickets on our credit cards. Maybe, we should pay off our homes instead. We are all partly to blame for this. But the richest 1% are greedy. No doubt about that.
