I am pretty sure that at some point even the government media will have to begin reporting all the bad economic news and our unemployment rate will soon be over 10%. I had to go through a round of layoffs and salary reductions in my company (and by the way MM detractors, the first salary cut was mine) and I fear there is more to come.

I try to be an optimist but by all appearances we are repeating all the mistakes of the Great Depression and will likely continue on that path until the American people wake up.

What is sad is I saw an industry report recently and the only good news was in the federal sector. So the government takes from the productive, wastes half the money on the bureaucracy and then doles it out like patronage to political supporters. That my friends is socialism.
