What do you think has Joe America most worried today?


* Housing bubble bursting
* Bird flu
* Iran war
* Gay marriage
* The grey hair guy winning Idol
* Gas prices
* Inflation
* Dollar's demise
* Hillary winning

My guess: The grey hair guy on idol winning. Americans are clueless and asleep still for the most part, wouldn't you say?

Zimbabwe-style inflation is not coming to a US-town, unless 90% of the United States is going to suddenly become Black people and they are going to elect communist Black president, who thinks he can do things as well as Whites.

Then what happened to the Weimar Republic in 1923? Those were all white people and they had hyperinflation. All it takes are a bunch of printing presses going non-stop.

My friends are beginning to wake up... They actually listen to what I have to say rather than just look at me like I'm insane.

Ive been waiting for this bubble for 10 years, since the last one that got my shirt. Now I just listen to folks rant and rave about it with no comment.

I told people to buy gold at 250 when everyone was in dot com stocks.My ex-broker said "gold is junk" Now i just listen to folks talk up gold and buy paper in it.

Now I say save money. Pratically no one is saving money. Everyone is borowing money. PAY OFF YOUR DEBIT AND SAVE MONEY SO YOU WILL HAVE SOME WHEN NO ONE ELSE DOES..

WE HAVE HAD INFLATION FOLKS. PREPARE FOR RECESSION. RICH OR POOR, ITS GOOD TO HAVE MONEY.

If you want it done right do it yourself.

I am worried that the dumb employees at the supermarket talk with each other about how so-and-so on the tabloid cover has lost so much weight, and gee, I wonder what Britney Spears and her douchebag of a husband did today!

I went to a party about a year ago and someone mentioned something about how crazy Kim Jong Il was. And these girls had this blank expression on their faces because they were too busy primping themselves in the mirror and reading about how to give their boyfriends a BJ in Cosmo magazine, rather than understand what really matters in the world today. That's what worries me.

It also worries me that 6 out of 10 kids can't find Iraq on a world map, and 3 out of 4 can't find Israel. And we wonder why people hate us so much, all W aside.

You mean learning how to give a BJ isn't important?

Men disagree!

The rest is indeed useless crap.

But it's intentional I think---delude the masses.

Most people are worried that they can't afford the gas in their Hummer or that they need a new SUV because they debt-inclined neighbor just purchased one.

We live in a material world; my girlfriend brought home a People magazine which I promptly threw in the trash. She asked me why. I told he we don't live like that or what to live like that, and we don't need to give a DAMN what anyone else is doing. She thought about it and agreed.

I worry most for my 7, and 12 year old daughters, what possible future lies ahead for them.

Will i be able to see them married will i see grandchildren...will I be able to keep a roof overe their heads?


Like the above post I prepared my nest egg many years ago, and stopped consuming last year (pool invesment cash) everything else i own, no debt besides my house and 5 years worth of mortgage left.

"She thought about it and agreed."

Wow, you better marry her then. She sounds like a keeper.
On second thought, once you marry her, she'll probably want a subscription to People, a McMansion and an SUV.

Amen, Autofx in hell.

America will wake up after the first dirty bomb goes off. We'll clean that mess up too. But unfortunately, that may be what it will take to awaken from the flipper mentality. Eventually, we will start valuing things like education, hard work and honesty again. Until that happens, we're f*&^ed.
