I have some stock from a place where I used to work. For about 20 years it did go up from time to time and would split every so often . After Clinton balanced the national budget, it started going up fast. It would double and split every 2 years. Dividends became enough to make a difference every quarter.
After Bush decided to piss away the surplus, and put our nation into debt to China, that stock made no more upward move. It now has fallen to 1/3 the value it was at the start of Bush's rule of madness, and the last quarter dividend was half of what it used to be, and next quarter it will be about 1/2 of that.
Don't try to tell me that all is just fine, this is a very large stable company, and reflects what's going on in the economy as a whole.

But no worries people!!! I just heard this week that the India-owned Convenience Stores and Motels are hiring at least ONE American per property.

If that fails, there is always Fast Food or Restuarants.

JOB MARKET - DOWN!!! IN THIS AREA.

National averages don't help us at all, in fact, it is ludricious to tell someone who just got laid off about National averages. Somewhere during the last eight years "SOME" Americans seems to have left their hearts behind.

OH, and let's not forget that people are losing medical benefits left and right while Corporate America takes it away from them, but no matter, those without heart is like Scrooge, "if they die, so be it".
