How's YOUR anxiety level?
On a normal day, mine is higher than normal. But since all that I hear about is the country's economic woes, I'm feeling even worse. I can't take all this bad news!!!!! The worst part about it is that Jesse just started a new job and if things get bad enough, he'll be the first on the chopping block. Sometimes being a grown up and worrying about these things is just no fun at all. Today I was in line at the bank drive up window when I saw the big sticker in the window that says, "FDIC insured. Your money is backed by the United States Government". That's a crock, they don't even have any money. What's the deficit at right now? Oh ya, that's right, they can just go ahead and print money when they feel like it and have jack to back it up with. I'm obviously no economics major, but I do think things will get a lot worse before they get better, and that just sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember when your biggest worry in life was what you were going to wear and what stupid boy liked you? Well, those days are gone. Now we have to worry about all this adult stuff and I HATE IT!

I hear ya. Tyler and I had the "money" conversation this morning. Definately not a fun place to go.
I still like to live in denial!! Everything will be fine right? Im hoping the government will get so confused they will pay off our student loans!! I haven't checked your blog for a while, I love the cornbelly pictures, looks like a lot of fun!
I'm with ya. Mark was watching CNN last night and I told him if he didn't change the channel I was going to have to go in the other room because it makes me sick inside!
Today's economy does suck. It scares me to death and makes me wonder how much furthur are we from the 2nd coming. It's depressing in a way. Just be prepared anyway you can.
I wasn't stressed out until your blog stressed me out! It is just life...we have cycled through this so many times and everything always seems to turn out okay. I mean the government has attached a number to the deficit that I don't think humans even count that high. Alright, I will go back to my calm ignorance...it feels better!
I am very passionate about this topic. I think that the Government are rewarding the "bad guys" and punishing the "good guys." Why should we have to pay for their bad business loans and fraudulent deals? I don't really know everything about the subject but something has to happen fast. I got an e-mail the other day and it said that if they paid the bail out money to the American people, everyone over the age of 18 would get 250,000 dollars each. And if they taxed it the government would be in a better situation than they are now. That sounds like a better plan to me but that will never happen, besides I don't really believe everything I get in an e-mail either. Wow this is a long comment and I don't know if it really makes any sense!
