| It's not just the truckers that are complaining about high diesel prices. If you're like me and are griping about how expensive living has gotten in the US, then you too are complaining about diesel prices. Gee, maybe we should have thought longer about ripping up all our freight lines a few decades ago- now we need all these fleets of trucks on the road to get food and products to market.Watch the video - I got painting to do.http://www.angryjed.com/2008/03/expensive-diesel-makes-everything-else.html

| Here is the other face of the Bush Economy, one that relies on charity to get by, one that can buy less food everyday the dollar drops . This picture is from Florida, Jeb's former state, now imagine a freezing winter up North and heating oil at all-time highs - now do you choose to eat or stay warm?So what is the answer for these people? Well if they were able to find enough work this past year then they will get Bush's vaunted rebate , keeping them out of the gutter for a couple of weeks. But what of those that are unemployed or under-employed? What about the partially disabled too hurt

| Listen up all you nitwits who think the everything is fine as long as the Dow is up for the week. When Warren Buffet speaks, the real money experts listen - he is the financial barometer that really steers Wall Street. All the young hotshots out there fresh off getting your Series 7 certificate probably scoff and don't even bother to get off their cell phones to hear what the Wizard of Omaha has to say. There is nothing more dangerous than a young trader/finance "expert" - while they think their shit don't stink, their bosses, you know the guys who make the BIG BUCKS, listen to every

| Readers will already know what I feel about Bush's economic prowess , and the fact that he is still in denial about recession , stagnation and inflation or Stagflation as the cheerleaders on CNN now call it. I even heard a right-wind talk radio shill talk about how we have had continued economic growth under Bush - as a dig to the Clintons. I'm sure this asshole has his kid in one of those soccer leagues where every kid gets a trophy for trying.Look a little closer Bush fans, how does that tiny growth compare with a dollar that keeps on sinking, a huge trade deficit to China, and the continuous

| As long as humanity has had taxes there has been tax evasion and for wealthy Europeans the microstate of Liechtenstein has been happy to hide their money for centuries. To be honest I figure the only reason this postage stamp of a Principality still exists in modern Europe is as a tax-haven for the Uber-rich. New Money thinks having a Swiss bank account is something to brag about, but the Old Money of Europe knows better, puts their money in Liechtenstein and does not say a word.Unfortunately for them, somebody else leaked names recently and now this tiny country with more companies than people

| Any US citizen concerned about this roller-coaster economy should look no further than our pathetic dollar. By this point, I'm used to seeing a weak dollar versus the euro, but according to this recent report , the US dollar is getting hit on all sides. This is not a new trend, it's been going on for the last seven years, and you are lucky if the cable news networks, even the hacks on the financial channel spend five minutes a week on such an important issue to Americans.It's bad enough that our savings accounts suffer from these extremely low interest rates - the only thing the Fed uses

| With the latest news of job cuts in America, it is pretty obvious how CEO's deal with economic slowdown: They fire people. Now, do you still want a CEO for President? You can't fire citizens when things go bad and that is their biggest ace in the hole when running a company. "Oh no, the company can't afford to pay me my 300 grand? Well we better cut a couple thousand jobs." Notice how taking a pay cut is never in their business plan.And here is where the numbers get fudged . When all these recently laid-off and fired people file for unemployment the unemployment rate in America rises.

| I can't believe people still think this guy is smart. The rich half of the country does not care because they can absorb the higher gas and home heating prices, they already pay a premium for their so-called organic foods at high-end supermarkets. And their portfolios? They have brokers to keep making them money in a bad economy.What pisses me off the most is the attitude the Bush people have "well if you were smart then you wouldn't be struggling". These assholes think the only criterion separating rich and poor is intelligence. Well in my experience working for brokerage houses and

| I'm starting to realize why George Bush does not see a problem with the American Economy - because for him and guys in his income bracket there is no problem. When your portfolio is as diversified as those in the rich boys' club, you make just as much money (selling your short options) in a bad market as you do in a good one. And for anyone of us who does not register on their radar screen? Well all they have to do is cut interest rates and give us a check right? That should solve everything (sarcasm)!So tell me King George, how does an interest rate cut help the homeless? The jobless? The

| Count Asian Bankers and Investors as one group that does not believe this so-called Economic Stimulus Package is going to work. The Asian boards were all down today on bad news from Japan, environmental factors in China and of course a US economy that has the world on edge.Why should everyone be on edge? Because this ain't your daddy's broker's market - things have changed and guys I know that have been in the Mutual Fund biz for decades are at a loss to fully explain it. The old release valves of regulation and rate adjustment might not have the firepower to control market stability as
