Ooooooh a Greenspan quote, your not as dumb as I look. That is what I was referring to in the previous post I made about plenty of economists warning that the worst is yet to come.

I drive around and look for VACANCY signs in strip malls as a barometer of what the economy is doing around here
Wall St. is just a circle jerk of guys in suits looking to screw somebody out of their life savings

Very true.
Although I did not see it, I have heard that the new Michael Moore movie "Capitalism, A Love Story" was actually pretty good at pointing out how bad Wall Street is at just that, screwing with your "safe" investments. And please don't start throwing flames all over the fact that I am talking about a MM movie, love him or hate him & all BS aside he is a lampooning filmmaker & the movie got pretty good reviews across the board. Also let's not forget his first movie was about GM bankrupting itself.....made in 1989...

Nobody said you should stop using them. Maybe just cut back a little bit on them though.

Michael Moore is as about a safe guy to trust in, as a liquor store in a riot not getting ransacked; I mean the guy is obviously a socialist yet he makes millions on his movies: where does he put that cash? Hm, his local credit union? Nah, it's all off-shore, tax free and invested in child labor type companies with no overhead, like Nike.

You have him pegged just right 
He runs around pointing the finger at everybody else making big bucks, but forgets to tell the viewers where his money is invested

I thought your health care plan was a roll of Jap Wrap and some Subway napkins
