WOW, lots of posts since yesterday. Just finished reading them all.

Loch Haven huh? I had an offer for partial scholarship for soccer at LHU.

I live 2 miles away from the college. I almost went there on a wrestling scholarship, but decided to get into electronics.

We had a local boy who played soccer and ended up getting a scholarship to PSU for football, he is now the kicker for the Bears. I think.

DAAAAA Bears DA Bears DA Bears Da Bears Da Bears!!

Do you know who he is?

No.

Needed a glue scraper in the woodshop, didn't have one...

So I went to the back corner, found some old unused 0-1 oil hardening steel, made me a scraper, hardened and tempered it...

Was glancing at some news last night, and I cannot remember who said it, but it was very true. It was something along the lines of 'This is the same government that cannot count votes, but we are supposed to trust them to wise spend nearly $1Trillion dollars of money we don't have?'

Everything I've heard from independent economists say that the bailout won't work, when it does it'll be to late and all it'll do is drive inflation.

One of them had a good quote though. All economy models are wrong, but some are useful.

It did not work in the past for the US. It did not work for Japan when they tried it. But apparently it will work this time since we are using money we don't have.

Plus I did a little digging, and talked some with our financial advisor, and all this BS about this is the worst it has been since the '20's is such a lie it is not even funny. Just back in the area of 1973-1974 it was worse then it is now, but I guess they think the population either has forgotten it, or enough were not around to experience it. So this constant pushing of the USA being on the verge of an apocalypse is really making me angry.

I think that the bailout is mostly stupid. The US is not going to spiral into a pit of nothing. Just let it reset itself. The marketplace has its own system of checks and balances, and the speculative/risky/etc. part was just getting out of balance with the basic stuff like services. People will always need certain things, and those industries will never go completely out of business. We just have to settle back down there and regroup every once in a while.

I mean let's be honest, EVERYBODY can't be getting returns on their investments over inflation rates. Otherwise everybody would always be getting richer, relatively. That's not how capitalism works. Economists and philosophers 100, 200, even 1000 years ago realized these things, and realized that society goes in cycles, whether it be with government, social, or economics. Why is it so many people have forgotten this? Or did they just never learn?

The damage is already done. I don't think it will get much worse, although we may stay fairly even for a while. And yeah, it's not as bad as the 20's and 30's. I don't know as much about the 70's, but I would imagine if people were waiting in lines for gas for hours that things would be quite a bit worse right now.
