Yea ok, take off the glasses:

Consumer confidence tumbles to 16-year low

Home prices post record 15.3% drop

Stocks Fall on Worse Economic Data

Bernanke Plays `Dangerous Game' Weighing Talk, Action

Oil futures gain as production concerns continue

Hey, I kinda like how my glasses make me see the world! So I'll keep them on and let you and the other doom and gloomers out there keep your "the world is coming to an end/the economy is in shambles" glasses on....

In all candor....EVERYTHING in life "depends on how you see it." Newton's 3rd Law, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Otherwise said, there is a good side to EVERYTHING, if YOU, my friend, take the time to stop listening to a media who gets paid to SELL NEWS and scare you into oblivion.

Is it tough(er) out there right now? Sure is, you betchya. Is there uncertainty? Maybe. (I would argure there is change.) But (getting back to US Airways), the Sand Fleas infesting The Sand Castle MUST scare US Employees...they HAVE to scare them, to get them to march in line.

At the end of the day, all of this stuff is a catalyst for change...that's all. The world is changing, US Airways is changing...aviation is changing...in my wine and real estate business, it's changing. Do I like how the real estate side of my life is playing out right now? Of course not!

But I can promise you with a 10,000% degree of certainty: It does me absolutely ZERO good to focus on and worry about things COMPLETELY out of my control. Instead, I chose to concentrate on things I can manage...like finding opportunity in a challenging environment.

One of the things I can't STAND about today's modern liberal mindset is, EVERYTHING is someone else's fault and/or responsibility.

Let me promise you something with, again, a 10,000% degree of certainty: When it becomes someone else's fault or problem, you just surrendered the control you have to navigate and get through the tought times....and from my mind set, when times are good, you should pay in and pay in more dearly to "those in control."

So, I'll gladly "take my glasses off" if you would insure me that you would stop buying into all the talking head idiots out there who have a "surrender and get jammed" mindset.

This too shall pass...if this supposed "economy in shambles" is the worst thing that ever happens to you, consider yourself and EXTREMELY fortunate and blessed human being.

Uh...that is completely incorrect...neither party is, what I would call, "good for labor."


That is COMPLETELY incorrect.



And that couldn't BE more incorrect...

You are better off understanding a global economy, emerging economies and macro economics....

All politicians will throw you under the bus...if you think this is their fault, you should try haning out with Captain Marvel or something....

It's a changing world out there...with the advance of new countries, economies and societies....life isn't fair and society really doesn't owe you much...it's best you get use to that.

Seriously

WOW... YOU need a reality check.

As a republican supporter in the last 4 Presidential elections, I must admit that it is time to balance the tables before the middle class is gone.

Other countries are sitting back, watching the show, and laughing at how clueless our government is.

I am not trying to get through to you...I've been where you are B) .

While you are at it, research why Clinton is responsible for 9/11 attacks (b/c he refused to take out bin Laden in 1993-1995 [3 separate times] and cut the defense budget by billions of dollars after the 1st World Trade Center attacks), the 2001 "mini recession" was his doing...etc.

When it comes to bin laden, here's another way to think of it - Clinton was just as successful in taking out bin laden as Bush has been these past 7 years. Bush has even said that bin laden "isn't that important". Wow.
