how to brighten the economic picture

VP Cheney pointed out last week that unemployment data does not account for the many people who sell on eBay. "That's a source that didn't even exist ten years ago," said Cheney. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay." Senator John Edwards responded, "If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands this economy would really be cooking."

I am not sure who supports who (all politicians are crooks), but if George W. is elected and makes his tax cuts perminent the national debt is going to grow inflation will grow, the federal reserve will raise interest rates to try and control the inflation, employers will have to cut costs (layoffs) and we will end up in another recession. The same thing happened when George H. W. was in office and R.R. had left us with his 3.2 trillion dollar debt.

If John Kerry is elected he will raise taxes and spend every penny on healthcare (healthcare costs will go up, supply and demand) which will leave us in the same situation.

Basicly we are screwed no matter what. So my advice is to move to Canada where you can be unemployed and get free health care.
