I'm sorry if you're unemployed. That's a bummer.

Nom=de=Plume

I'm retired AND I work. When I do work, I charge from $40 to $100 an
hour. Or more. I do enjoy an income stream from investments, too. I
deal in collectables. I go to bed when I want, and get up when I want.
If I want something, I just go pay cash, or use a credit card, and pay
it off every month. My credit score is higher than the scale (860)
because somehow they have bonus points. I fish and golf at will. I own
properties in three states. I travel outside the US at least twice a
year. I have two RCI condos, one in Kauai, the other in Mazatlan. I
travel outside my state at least once a month.

It must suck to be me.

Then, given your extraordinary fortune, why do you care about the jobs
issue?

The poster mistakenly said that he was sorry if I was unemployed. I've
worked all my life, and have empathy for any person who wants to work.
The jobs issue affects everyone in the community. How could any person
not care about the jobs issue?

I made the assumption, erroneously clearly, since you seemed so upset about
the situation. Don't get me wrong. I'm upset too. The rate of unemployment
is still way to high, but it's moving in the right direction, which is a
good thing. My reading is that it'll turn around in mid-2010.
