So with this Booming economy

[tactful]

why aren't people out there spending the hard earned money they've made on their fantastic job.
I see less people food shopping, even on payday, less women in clothing stores, less kids at the Malls, hell even the watering Holes have fewer cars and patrons, is it me, or are they home playing with their computers or themselves. They could all be signing up for HealthCare, their surely not at any of the fast food joints that are around Mickey D's, Burger King, or even the one where one has to wait for a half an hour, Ruby Tuesdays, Macaroni Grill, and whatever else they have out there.
Tell me, where are the Big Spenders ?

Big spenders? Are you referring to the middle class?

They are going, going, gone.

Most economists point to the effects of sequestration, which shaves about a half a percentage point off of economic growth pursing ill-advised "fiscal austerity reform".

It's basically taken what should be a "good" economic recovery and made it into a "so-so" middling economic recovery.

You mean like the 12 oz coffee can, that has 10 (not a typo) oz in it, or the stuff (most of it) that has been jacked up 15% (also not a typo), is that the sequestration you speak of, if that is the case, the middle class has shrunk just a teenie-weenie bit into the lower middle class.

If you're at the top of the heap, these are the good ole days. The end result of 30 years of lobbying for rules and regulations that benefited only them.

The Lords are fat and the Surfs think having a new iPhone makes them living the American Dream.

And of course folks like Vetty and Amicus lecture us that our shortcomings are all the result of us failin' to work a little bit harder....they say this as they nuzzle daily upon the government teat. (That's Different, dontcha know)

I think Vette probably has a million or two in his retirement account, and that gives him a false sense of accomplishment. He's not smart enough to know that the guy controlling his money makes that much every day just by providing the honor of holding the money.

Theyre spending their free ObamaMoney to buy up stocks or real estate. Its called Quantitative Easing 3 or 4. But Obama prints the money, loans it to the banks interest free, and the banks loan it to Hillary and Chelsea for free.

Close to true.

The banks loan their free money to Main Street at 24% on credit cards.

Youre right.

Tommy Jefferson was t he first. He bought the Louisiana Purchase for 2 cents an acre and sold it to Americans for a buck an acre. Its always the same con.
