To all you doomsayers...

Put *that* in your pipe and smoke it!

The stock market has always been a pretty good indicator of where our
economy is headed.

That's why it shed 10% of it's value from January 2000 through December
2000...the year leading up to the recession.

Hey, OK!

Our group dentist is prescribing stuff to put in a pipe and smoke.

It's legal with a prescription, right? Restores appetite following a root
canal?

It's sweet seeing those balances jump up. Heck, I even made 13% in
2002.



Retirement account now up to $113? :-)
OK, that was a low blow.....but discussing personal finances in a forum like
this is fraught with peril and not in the best of taste, either. IMO.

I'll be more impressed when the jobless are being re-employed.


Good. Then August's payroll data report should have really impressed
you...a net gain of 57,000 newly hired.

Let's see how the Dems blame this one on Bush.

They'll pay no attention to the real reasons for the layoffs:

"These decisions reflect, in part, market requirements. The global container
market has become Asian-focused, with more than 80 percent of our container
refrigeration products currently being shipped to Asia," Amyuni said. We
must be located nearer to our markets."

"Company spokesman Jonathan Shaw said Carrier's compressor business has
fallen by 50 percent over the last three years, reflecting an industrywide
decline as customers have switched to newer technology"

"I've struggled at different jobs to stay in manufacturing but manufacturing
is dying in this country. I'm getting out. I'm going to use this as an
opportunity to start a new life," said Pate (10 year Carrier employee), who
said he might pursue work in the medical field."

The Dow usually goes up along with news of layoffs. It is a wonderful
indicator.

Harry doesn't know how to stop the flow of manufacturing jobs out of this
country...and neither did our 42nd President. In fact, it was Bubba that
signed NAFTA and started the efflux. But, it's convenient for Harry to
blame Bush for the losses.

That's not what happened with the news of all the layoffs that started in
early 2000. The market dropped 10% that year.
