So, the "fundamentals of the economy"... |
|
...according to Mr McGoo, are the American workers. He say we're "strong". I took a pay cut last year, I'm struggling to pay the bills in this stagflated mess they have created. I don't feel very strong. :(
what say you, working class of DU, do you feel strong? :shrug:

1. The economy is bubbly, that's good, right? |
|
The tech bubble didn't hurt most folks too bad when it burst. The housing bubble hurt quite a few. The energy bubble is causing generalized pain. I'm guessing the next big bubble will be health care or food. With more widespread consequences.
