Bad timing? More like bad policy and greed. Reply

Who are you kidding - Jerry Jones will make another billion off the taxpayers backs. Wait and see amigos. Reply

All this was possible during "the good years". Spend, spend, spend. Consume, consume, consume. American way of life is about more, and more than YOU. Look how the Texas philosophy has infiltrated the political landscape. I love seeing Ari Fleischer respond in 2001 to the question does the president think we should be more fuel efficient and reduce the amount of big SUVs on the road. It was swagger and bravado, and he responded something to the effect that big gaudy things was the right and privliedge of the American way of life. Hey guess what. If Starbucks can't sell $7 coffe, you probably won't be able to sell. $40 steaks, to people that already paid $100 just to get in the restaurant. See even the wealthy are suffer as their investments disappear in swindles and the inflated ,exaggerated value of their real estate assets come back to realistic levels, even if their real-estate debts don't. It's not just poor people in that 8.1 million unemployed now. Let's think about it. We chastise the financial gurus for screwing us AND making millions. I love the NBA and am a basketball fan. But do we need to pay these athletes millions per year? I just think EVERYBODY's industry needs to take a look and scale back, including mine. Our economy depends on it. Case in point. My mother has 4 sisters and 5 brothers. If octomom needed assistance raising 6 infinant, what do you think will happen with 14? Most families, since the 1980s, couldn't afford to raise 4 children, let alone 10. Our country is in the crapper, yet everyone is out for self. Reply
