What is a Recession??  I am not that old to remember a depression,  however, apparantly I have been through a few recession's in my 46 years of life here in Wisconsin.  Although I don't remember them. All I see is  people DRIVNG and DRIVING and DRIVNG around.  Sixteen year old kids driving $ 25,000.00 cars to school and Driving and DRiving and Drivning around.  Um,  where did that money come from if we are in a recession??  People complaining about gas prices... But they don't STOP buying gas.  Anyway,  where are people's math skills these days?  Did you know that if gas goes up 50 cents a gallon next week,  and you drive 50 miles round trip in an average car (18 mpg)each day,  your extra cost for gas would be  $ 6.94 per week?   Is that REALLy alot of money?  That is the same for most people as giving up 1.5 packs of Cigarette's per week,  or don't go to Mcdonald's one day for lunch,  pack a lunch.  Where are the math skills?  The same people listened to the Mortgage companies that OVERLENT them money on their homes.....but didn't they read and sign the contract??  Put a pencil to what you can actaully afford,  and these Mortgage crisis things would never happen.  But no,  don't take responsibility for yourself,  blame it on others,  because everyone else is here to take care of YOU.  He hE. so....where is that recession thing now??  Hmm maybe we shall find out after the STIMULAS package is mailed......and where did we get THAT money from?  Started this blog  just to get people going.....happy day :)
