So, Here's how I'm going to put it.
Shit is WAY better now then it was in 08. I've got openings @ chase right now I can't fill for jobs that pay damn good money, I'm sorry that there's less and less Grunt work out there for lower end people. Lets face it Manufacturing is not coming back to america... The cost is to high. What we really need to start looking at is the Global economy because the worlds allot smaller then it used to be. We live in a age of global communications and a global market place.
Being that I Personally Suffered HUGE Strife due to the economy and I burned through every cent I had. Lived with my Parents and once I got somethings back under control I put 3 different family members to work to keep them from losing there homes(Renting but they were broke and they had kids).
These people where more then willing to work but couldn't find work to do. Do you know what it feels like to lose everything you have really? Cars You toys . Sale off everything you had including an item you spend YEARS building just so you could try and keep health insurance on my me and my wife???
So don't give my hypothetical sob stories because I lived it.
and NO ONE IS TAKING YOUR GOD DAMN GUNS.... You know who profited the most from Obama going into office? The ammo and gun companies because of fear mongering that never came to fruition. *BTW my item was my AK47 that I built myself and took years to do.
Mike you know I have a ton of respect for you and I do respect your opinion but You act like I don't know. I do.
