    Suspend "Cash for Clunkers"?

    the bottom line is either way, this stuff is rushed through without much thought in the end....period. Usually you end up hearing afterward something along the lines of "the demand is/was much greater then we initially thought." Most government stuff doesn't have much demand, because it's...

    House Approves Borrowing or Printing Another 2 Billion for Cash For Clunkers

    few weeks?!!? If they're lucky this money'll get them through Wednesday...lol. Right now some dealerships (that are honest enough) are telling customers that rebates from here on out are dependent on government approval. Considering the Senate won't vote on this until next week, right...

    Suspend "Cash for Clunkers"?

    Few glitches eh. Web servers crashing and hardly anyone can log in to process stuff. Phone lines jammed and busy and nobody can get through. Paperwork processing so backlogged it'll take probably weeks now to get through. Angry customers calling YOU (the salesman) demanding where...

    H1N1 Black Swan? CDC Says 40% in US May Contract H1N1; Hundreds of Thousands May Die

    least he's on the right page. No vaccine for me either. Sadly, my mother is a 30+-year RN so when this shit begins to break more, I'll get to hear about it again and again :( I wonder if the "flu shot" they do annually this coming year will have a mixture bit or be more for swine flu as...

    Suspend "Cash for Clunkers"?

    Of course due to this backlog, there will be people who jumped into this program, only to find out they won't be able to get the rebate....nice!

    Suspend "Cash for Clunkers"?

    Not only that, it was a complete clusterfuck when they officially opened it. Lots of people getting in, dealers not getting reimbursed OK, website continually crashing from overloads, call enter lines jammed to the hilt... When you offer something that feasibly millions of people are...

    H1N1 Black Swan? CDC Says 40% in US May Contract H1N1; Hundreds of Thousands May Die

    many who got infected never got tested for it...either because they felt they didn't have it and felt "ok" or the doctors refused to test them for it for whatever the reasoning may be (overreaction, waste of time, don't want to do it, whatever have you) and/or just gave then normal stuff for...

    Get ready for banking's next headache

    It's almost hard to believe because as you said and I agree, I don't think anyone, even the most bearish and downtrodden of them all, could rationally theorize what may be to come in the grand scheme of things. If it does hit, it's not so much as proclaiming people like you to be right. It's...

    De Beers Profits Fall 99%: Says "Sales Have All But Vanished In Last 6 Months"

    "However looking at the positives, it added the rate of decline in demand had slowed, and it was optimistic the second half would show signs of improvement." Yes there indeed is a sliver of light :D

    US teenagers struggle to find summer jobs

    because many aren't. Tons of scam posts on monster.com now. Others may post to merely collect apps. *maybe* if someone exceptional came across, they'd look at it further, otherwise the company really isn't hiring at the moment; more for the future. Some others may be hiring, but then the...

    Stop paying credit cards. Give yourself a bailout!!

    lol...true on the 5 cents bit....but if you don't work or make very little and owe far more, then there's no sense in settling if you have multiple accounts. Either do them all relatively together, or don't do them at all. Either way now, knowing you can get it lower, it buys you plenty of...
