The economy's getting worse Part II

People are selling off their possessions to pay for gas and medical bills.

Something that having a real energy policy starting 8, 16, 20 years ago might have helped with.

Something that having universal health care that would have fixed, since those costs would have been spread to all citizens and we could have built our own government run hospitals to help people.

Nahhhhh - let's just let the market figure it out - I'm sure they'll find another engagement ring to sell somewhere.

Side note: I'm glad I saved my money for all of these years. Yeah, now I feel like a dick, but I'm going to check out Craigslist - I've been wanting to buy one of those Bowflex machines, and now I can pick one up used for a song.
