How bad will it have to get?

Are we going to wait until our economy is totally ****ed before we stop spending money on **** going on in other countries? I mean whats the deal here, are we just going to keep spending more outrageous amm's on this bull****?

I just remember going to Canada not terribly long ago, food was about 3/4 the price at most. Now **** there is more expensive by far

Our dollar is a joke, and so is the country!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets spend some money on us...................

I mean **** they might as well have just bought everyone a new suby with the money and everyone would get along.

What's the matter? do you hate America?

But I know what you mean, we used to get told "you think gas prices are bad here try visiting any other country" well in the last year I've visited both China and Mexico and both had gas priced well below what we have to pay here.

And since practically everything we eat drink or otherwise consume has to get to us on trains, trucks or boats, those fuel costs are going to impact everything in a big way this year.

yet we **** away a couple billion a week bringing "freedom" to people in the middle east who would much rather we go home.

Just seems like we need to cut it off. Our economy is getting worse and worse..............i'm just sick of the bull****. The fact is there is more injustice between israel and palestine than there is in iraq (or at least before we went into iraq), how are we going to overlook that. Too scared of Israel to do anything about it or impose any rules, and **** thats half of why the middle east hates us in the first place. It's a joke, they could at least try to take care of us first. But of course we don't have new contracts or new ways to make money so that will never happen........

Im just sick of the economy worry, like no **** you are spending 100's of billions of the war time and time again.....what the **** do you think is going to happen.

People in the government just make bad choices, we need to take over

Definitely wise not to work on the Israel situation, something that might actually change how the haters of the US view us........that would be too logical though......lets prevent some terrorism by attacking people.....no really the math works I swear.....

2010 should be a great time to buy a home, hopefully the interest rates on mortgages will be decent.

houses are down in price, but they aren't truly "cheap" yet around here. 2-3 more years they will be. just hope mortgages will be cheap then as well.
