I don't claim to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but how many others saw this coming? I'll admit it came harder and faster than I expected but when you see a couple with 2 kids and a pair of new jet skis, snowmobiles, 4 wheelers a toy hauler and a new crew cab and Tahoe in front of their new house and the both work for $16 an hour you can do the math.
The real estate thing had to end too, if it hadn't an average house would be $750,000 by now and how does an average person buy it on the same wages they got 3 years ago? again do the math.
So if a hick from the sticks and a lot of other everyday folks could see a problem in the making how did our government officials, bank gurus and the finacial wizards on tv not have a clue? and why do we think the same goobers who slept through this can advise us on where to go from here? everytime I hear or read something from these clowns I just want to say shut up. every one of the superstars who didn't say anything about this until the meltdown hit should be fired or forced to wear a dunce cap anytime they talk economics so we can know who to ignore and who might have some insight we could use. economist and politians are like the weatherman, we pay them and they keep their job even when they're wrong 90% of the time.
OK, I'm done.
