"No place to run to.
Nowhere to hide..." Very good 60's song. Very sucky 00's economy.

I saw a news story about how the commercial market in the U.K. is really hard off right now. Shop after shop closing, vacant stores and office spacew everywhere. Looked pretty grim.

Re: Hows The Recession Biting Bin The U.S.
The only new stuff going on is illegal aliens.
I pull up slow and park for awhile and watch. Then I get out with a camera and take pictures. It's pretty obvious when they all cover their face or hide. Our country is going to crap because of this and it needs to stop like 10 years ago. This crap is ILLEGAL and not enforced. Yet we who play by the rules are having our ins. rates jacked up and everything else to pay for this BS. We need to find a way to come together as tradespeople and make a stand somehow. And as Americans for that matter. This illegal BS is killing schools, hospitals, states, counties etc. The ONLY REASON THIS CRAP IS ALLOWED IS THE CORPORATE SYSTEM THAT RUNS BOTH PARTIES. We all know it. Maybe we can get "citizen arrests" for illegals on the table somehow? ICE wont do it obviously. They register a complaint and thats it. Well when the .GOV is exceeding 50% of our GDP its a self fulfilling disaster scenario. This is a disaster zone we have allowed to happen and needs to stop asap. STARTING WITH BOOTING THIS **** OUT OF OUR COUNTRY! It's gonna come down to YOU AND ME putting these people in handcuffs if they can't provide I.D. That's how this country was born and people said enough is enough. OK rant off/ |

Re: Hows The Recession Biting Bin The U.S.
Recession is a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more we talk about it, the more it becomes reality.
Things are picking up for us. Been running about three inquiries per day, setting some leads. Things are much better than the last quarter of 08. |
