Tomorrow, it is expected that we will finally get some good news on the jobs front. Will it be enough to affect the election? Doubtful.
But this may be for real this time? We actually may be finally climbing out of this deep, deep recession. It doesn't help that companies and corporations are reportedly buying back their own stock, at five times the rate of last year, rather than investing in jobs or their present employees. That would be the best thing for our economy but most corporations seem to feel more comfortable with their money in the stock market.
They have grown accustomed to the "easy" dollar. It will be a hard habit to break. God forbid, they would have to return to making money the old-fashioned way.

2. Another soup refrence. |
|
I really dislike the 'soup' story, not only should someone not trade for soup, but they also should not demand for soup.
Hence why I don't make deals or demands for things.
