BoilingMidnight 0 #1 June 23, 2008 QuoteMy wages are not keeping up with inflation in this piss poor ecomony. Presently the unemployment rate is 5%. For all of you getting your economic news from Jon Stewart, that's what's called "full employment." Interest rates are also low, and "people losing homes by the thousands" is not actually a new phenomena. It's called a market correction and occurs when bad credit risks are given loans they've no business having. Put aside your envy of "elitists" (read: successful people) and become one of them. I'm with mjosparky: "Welcome to Reality.""Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
