A time when we could wreck our cars rushing to the gas station to buy gas before it jumps another 5 cents per gallon. Then get pissed off because 2 days after we fill up it drops 3 cents cheaper per gallon.
A time when we go to the grocery we are paying twice the cost for food and want to stuff the food manager in a potato bag and plant him in a field because we are tired of shopping on Sunday and throwing out poor quality food on Tuesday.
A time when it costs more to mint the penny than what the penny is worth. Poor old Abe!
A time when the only people bitching about the economy, are the ones that can’t do a damn thing about it. And the ones who can…. think our economy is fine.
A Time when the hunt for something in your home that says Made In The USA can be made into a board game called ”Where’s America”
A time when riding a moped to work was out of the question because you would look like a blooming idiot, but now makes you look like a genius.
A time when our wonderful President decides to give us all a rebate checks to boost the economy. But the only way to keep the money in the USA is if we all spend it on beer, or prostitution the only two business left in the US. *Note read that in an email joke author not known but true!
A time when customer service reps are either a recording or someone that cannot speak English and you cannot understand a damn word they are trying to say! My new voice mail message, “Sorry I can’t come to the phone right now, please leave a message if you can speak plain English, if not call back when you can!”
A time when the teenage vocabulary has changed so much that the “F” word is now a noun, verb and adjective.
A time when all store bought products are now new and improved or flavored or scented. Makes me wonder what moron decided to advertise the original product is not as good?
A time when we have to check products coming into the US for lead and other chemicals because our Government does not set the same manufacturing standards for others as it does for Americans. “Here’s Your Sign!”
A time when your Social Security checks will not even cover the cost of your medications. And disability is given to drug addicts and alcoholics, and getting government aid to help your family has become a way of life.
A time when the SBA is helping more aliens start a business in the U.S. than helping America’s!

Welcome to 2008! I am so excited and looking forward to what 2009 will bring!
