Hey...youngsters....welcome to the real world.....you heard those stories the old timers told about the depression? Ha...your gonna have your own.
The sad thing is that this was all done on purpose

His statement about "no way of knowing" is exactly the point. Investors and companies do not know how the government is going to work against them next (and they are working against them). That uncertainty is holding up everything... and that is leading to the suffering that you are seeing. Let capitalism work and get the government out of everything.

2:20 How about the gov't not bailing out nobody. No bailouts for banks or buried homeowners. There needs to be price discovery in the housing market. Falling home prices are FIXING the problem, which is home prices are too high...especially in Florida.

U never never never lease a truck from a trucking company. I call bs on this story. if you have a CDL in the USA you can get a job. This man is making a choice to not be a truckdriver. I have been in truck driving for 11 years. The only time I've not had a job is when I haven't wanted one. This man has gotten him into this situation. It makes me sick to watch this bs.

CRST is highering over 2,000 drivers out here in So.Cal but the only problem for this guy would be is getting a load into Florida for hometime.

What?! The federal gov. shouldn't be bailing out anyone! We all NEED money. Americans don't save for a rainy day, instead they have tons of DEBT! That is their fault. They bought houses that were over their budget & many planned on getting rich with the housing bubble. Illegal aliens bought houses which we are now paying for, The Federal Reserve banksters took 9 trillion $ & gave it to their banker friends & stupid Americans said nearly nothing!

we just need to wreck havoc and not comply anymore
Hopefully that guy gets the opportunity to get some type of training. If he waits too long and gets into his 40's without many skills, he will be at a severe disadvantage.
