Just had an interesting, keypad-based phone survey from Rasmussen Reports.
All about spending this month, last month, next month, is my personal finance situation getting better/worse. (With the missus out of work for almost two YEARS now, gulp, can’t get much worse.)
I used to think we could “talk up” the economy to counter the talking down by the Big Bad Media (heh);-) But between the gas-price crisis and the housing crunch, I guess we really do need the “moral equivalency of war,” as someone put it years ago. But unlike the Iraq/Afghan War, we all have to share in the consequences and coming up with solutions.
Can the ridiculously partisan finger-pointers on Capitol Hill get their act together? Can government really solve any of this?
Want a place to talk about this? Try my embryonic, nobody-talking-yet High Desert Forum, at http://highdesertforum.yuku.com. It’s a way, I hope, to talk beyond the local news articles of the day. Please join me!
