Default Where's the stimulus?



I have to agree... we'll have the same problem up here when we lose
the US as a major market when you can't afford or don't need our
exports anymore.
I suppose we'll send a lot of the exports to China etc... but they'll
probably want to pay less when competition for our resources lessens.
Things have gotten out of whack... especially in the elite world of
CEOs professional sports figures, politicians etc.
Up here a provincial politician (MLA) can start collecting a life long
pension at age 45 if they have served 5 years in our legislature. How
screwed up is that?
The trouble with this new re-adjustment is that the working people on
the lower end of the scale will suffer the most... as usual.





How old were you when you were pensioned out?
