economy is not good. its good for a few rich but thats always a given.

car industry has been down and going down since 9/11. to the point GM and Ford have lost millions and millions. And sooner or later one of them is gonna collapse.

you think its bad now...wait till one of them collapse. you will see such a shock wave ripple through the economy it will blow everyones mind.

I have been in cars for 16 yrs and around them for my life due to dads job in cars. Lowest I have ever seen it, my books are the lowest I have ever seen them. And to survive I have had to expand into multiple different fields just to pull in that extra dollar or should I say the same dollar.

Great economy....my butt!!

And if gas hits 4 or more this summer like it should.....oh baby its gonna get ugly.

I know exactly what you mean. I can't afford too many little luxuries anymore that about 1.5 yrs ago, I used to enjoy pretty often. I keep the receipt for everything & I've noticed price increases in everything $1, $0.25, etc., really adds up especially when it's on everything an individual purchases. I think we're coming down from the holiday season & gas is slowly creeping up again in price. Once gasoline gets really expensive again @ the pump the economy will take a dive again imho.

The economy is doing well. Anecdotal evidence such as "I'm having a hard time paying bills" just means your finances are poor. Our biggest problem in America is our overwhelming use of debt. If we would make wiser decisions, we'd have more money and less worries. Peoples biggest problems are the constraints they place on themselves.

the american economy is not doing very well, it has a balance of payments deficite of $805 billion and has broke 7 new recordes in the last 8 years. american industry would have to produce an extra 70% in order to make the gap.

the american economy is vast but not a bottomless pit, hence america under its current performance will become much poorer.

If things are more expensive, then the companies make more money, and the economy is better. It's a paradox or something.

The problem for "most people" is that the term "everything" has expanded.


"Everything" used to mean a roof + food. Period.

Now it means housing, car, fuel, electricity, gas, cable, phone, Internet, etc, etc, etc. IF you keep adding things you term "commodities", then of course increasing income will only keep pace.

I could never make enough to pay for everything..

Question though.. do you have more stuff to pay for? why would it change unless you changed your situation?
