gee. looks like unions are good for WORKING people.

and CEO's have had their way in the last 8 years with the GOP.

how's our economy doing? we a strong, economically powerful country
with no unions? we have an economy that's EXACTLY the way the right
wants it

no regulations on wall street

no unions

so tell me: how we doing??
I don't know about yours but my portfolio is doing quite nicely. Thanks
for asking.

I am surprised that the country has been able to do so well all the
while union membership has been dwindling.

If you want to talk about things that have been done wrong let's start
with all of the extra constitutional acts committed by FDR. Then we can
move on to the failed war on poverty. LBJ did more harm to the USA and
our standing around the world than any other person in the 20th century.

the middle class hasnt had a pay increase in 35 years.

Sure, Bob. Keep telling yourself that and don't forget to blame a
street in New York for your financial problems.

I just checked my 401k and it is up 4.3% this year already. Last year it
was up 15.8%. Sucks to be me.

do the math. how much do you have to GAIN to make up for a 35% LOSS
like the average 401K lost in 2009?

if you cant figure it out, i'll let you know

and your 20% increase?

i'll give you a hint: it's not enough

Look up dollar cost averaging. Many people, including me, made some
outstanding buys when the market went to hell.
