  • If I was your mom I'd beat you for putting me on You tube.

  • @agentbl that's part of it, but there are much bigger factors, like interest rates

  • @GeoliphicMedia that would set us back a few hundred years into poverty

  • U.S. needs to cease the war. It's so dumb spending trillions of trillions dollars to war!! What we really get after we win it? Proudness!! ha... idiot!! Decreasing taxes will boost our economy as well- people will have more money to spend for, and for business owners, they could flourish their businesses. What's wrong with our foolish government!!!

  • I think everybody in the U.S. or the world for this matter, should be required to take a money management or economy class, so they understand the facts before they start spouting off pure ignorance. It's amazing how many people in this country operate off of pure ignorant information.

  • BOY" was that grey suit fart head REALLY WRONG was Bush the economy and the war.this guy's reputation is GONE!!!

  • Exactly!

  • Its not the war, Americans have bankrupted themselves. Okay so the war hasn't helped, but you guys would be screwed with or without the war.

  • strong 'real estate net worth' -- the idea of a shrinking middle class is a joke -- see how wrong the mainstream view has been!

    THE RISE OF THE PEOPLE -- f**k money. Food for farming with free housing and we can focus on dealing with the environmental/consumption issues. Sorry, no more white picket fences and 24/7 centralized heating. No time for I told you so. Get out in the community and organize, organize, organize!

  • Wow!! 2 Years after this show was taped and many people are now talking DEPRESSION!! Just another nail in the coffin "everything will be fine".
