Do you think the economy is going up or down?

[KING ZOIDY]

Pretty self explanatory.

[Gazereths]

Well in this country i think the economy has stabilised, we are at a low point but i think there's no more downturn to come...Hopefully.

[KING ZOIDY]

US needs to stabilize fast or else a sh*tstorm is coming, we have serious issues.

[I Hate Bottles]

It's not so bad where I am, but other parts of the country are suffering badly.

[KING ZOIDY]

I know California is, (for reasons I'll save a rant about), it's not a tough problem to fix people just need to put effort into it. For one thing the welfare system is screwed up, same with the Banking industry.

[Hussypuff]

Everything will turn to s**t sooner or later

[KING ZOIDY]

Not if Chuck Norris has anything to do about it! lol

isn't your state billions of dollars in debt? and don't worry..we'll all get to see about the people that're scamming americans for their money on CNBC's 'american greed', in the mid to near future. lol.

and on the economy..it's all been droppin since the euro was introduced. well, in the beginning the dollar was strong. that's one thing europes got on america, they know how to spend their money. sure they get in depression like times, but every country does. then it trumped the dollar and has been gaining ever since. the american governments policy has been to flood the streets with money, and that's not going to fix the problems. the stimulus packages for both the insurance and banking industry's were spent too stupidly and too fast. and the ones we've been getting are cool and all...but we still have to pay them back. i read awhile back on that insurance stimulus that if they would've given the taxpayers the money they would've gotten some odd hundred thousand dollars a piece. think of what would've been done if people had the means to pay off their debts? people would have paid off debts thus makin the economy flourish. people would've also gotten in debt...but i think more of them would take the opportunity to get the governments debt off their backs. but that didn't happen it went to corporate america.

w000 go capitalism, the 21st century solution to communism!

[KING ZOIDY]

We're in so much debt because we issue illegal immigrants credit cards and let them benifit from welfare while the rest of us pay taxes. If we got rid of all those bleeding hearts we could push them out and help our state alot.

[nacirema]

make 'em drug test for welfare, LOL.

[KING ZOIDY]

These videos are interesting, but a bit too doom and gloom for my likings - there's 20 or so of them.

The economy has been downright HELL here in the last few years. Salaries have been slashed tremendously and many companies have gone bankrupt. I can also complain about prices but that has been around since we regained independence... O.o
