POPS2016, No more oil. What might that look like... Worldwide instability, economic recession & depression, endless gas-station lines, VIOLENCE at those long, temper-straining gas-lines... We need to start taking stock of our lives and start making other plans. Life as we have known it in America IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

POPSPoor People Are Fat and A Nation of Whiners Progressive thinking from dinosaurs? Gramm's views have not changed since the 1970's. Where are the stats? What are the solutions? Last time I looked, name calling never actually solved anything. Labling groups of impoverished people and witty adjectives for their plight might make a magazine cover, but in reality it does not make a bad situation any better. The "Al Gore Syndrome" at work agian. Talk, Talk, Talk...soluntions implemented = NONE. Perhaps he'll win the Nobel Peace Prize for his insults and remarkable discovery that "Poor People Are Fat". Pehaps if they stopped whining about us being a "Nation of Whiners" and actually started "doing" the right thing for the "Poor, Fat People" - we could get along towards a solution for the US, and Worldwide, crisis. Roll up your sleeves, Boys, and actually DO something already, will ya!!!

POPSDid Team McCain Fire Gramm? Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain's senior policy adviser, on PBS's Nightly Business Report with Darren Gersh, on McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm's comment that the recession was "mental" and that the US is a " nation of whiners ." Kinda makes it sound like Foreclosure Phil's out, doesn't it?

POPSPhil "Enron" Gramm Knows Best? The self confessed economic dilettante, Grandpa McCain, puts his trust in Enron and UBS lackey Gramm. Well, that certainly makes me feel better.

POPSNow I feel better... Man, it's actually come to this. "Reassuring" statements that the government doesn't expect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to fail. My only hope for the stock market is that the best buying opportunities come when there is absolutely no good news - seems like that's about it right now.

POPSNational News vs. Local News The statistics I see for Spokane show our market holding their value from last year or perhaps slightly declining. All these gloom and doom predictions may compel some buyers to wait and become a self fulfilling prophecy. Now is a great time to buy.

POPSStarbucks closing 600 stores They blame the economy, but I think in Starbucks' case it is because there is more competition for the coffee dollar in combination with their faltering quality. Something tells me that coffee, like alcohol, is recession proof.
