Close to another Great Depression?

[Goose and Fig]

You know what else- everyone is so petrified of their taxes going up. I would GLADLY pitch in a few bucks more if it meant we'd get out of this mess, create more jobs, and provide health care to those without.

If corporate America would only open their eyes and se that it could be profitable for them too- we'd be on the road to a much brighter future.

Thats true as well. Now alot of town and cities are banning hanging clothes on the lines, another thread that was up a few days ago, when years ago it was the only way to dry clothes. It's going green as well, doesn't cost anything to hang clothes on lines. ((Dont know if this one request/thought/question would count as a blame game or not but...)) i wonder if the government actually wants us to "GO GREEN" or improve fiancially. It's hard to tell.

Well it would seem to me one would follow after the other.
Going green can save in many ways. I think some job areas would crash but others would rise and even new ones created.
Its obviously time for some kind of change. We need more people on the boat of change.

The supposed 2.4% increase in the GDP last quarter is just a blip.

If the senate passes the health care fiasco, it will be the straw the breaks the camel's back and we will go into a deeper depression than we could ever imagine.

We are in debt up to our eye balls... any more government spending will tip us over the edge.

Both the Bush and Obama 'bailouts' were a lie. We certainly haven't gotten any change, and I blame both of them, along with the crooks in the house and senate.

It's time to be putting extra food and other commodities away for a rainy day.

Sarah I'm in a County with one to highest rates of unemployment in GA....and that's with a lot of folks not even registered. I really am not good at predicting the future.....That's in God's abilities. I just know that we cannot keep spending money as a nation or as individuals like we are or we'll be wheeling barrels of it in to the grocery store for one loaf of bread....

I was in a foreign country once where 8,000 dollars was one of our dollars,,,it drove my little pea brain crazy to figure it out.

I admit when I had started a full time job many long years ago, I played with a credit card and even at low interest it took me 4 years to pay it off. Now I wonder if what little money I've saved after so many years will even see me through....

I'm pleased to be a full time farmer....Lord willing, I shall not starve if I can afford seed, utilities, gasoline and feed and we don't have extremes in weather.

I've seen tough times, but not as tough as now. I'm preparing for the worst, we both are on the farm, but if money becomes crazy and worth less every year and taxes keep raising on land so much, it's just mind boggling.

All this said, I'm grateful to God for our farm, animals, ability to work the land and our wonderful customers, many of whom are right here on BYC. When I think of topics like this, I can become quite fidgety and worry until I'm reminded of the sparrow story in the Bible and my spirit is at ease.

I know I'll not be forgotten, but still I must be diligent about conserving in every form, keeping the land rich, building it constantly, not overusing it.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving y'all......
