The owners of this mess aren't "privileged" ie from Andover

no way. Their pockets aren't nearly deep enough to get even a blip on the corporate welfare screen.

Meanwhile the criminals on wall street and 'too big to fail' corporate america are getting bailed out left and right.

Daddy Bush wanted his "new world order" and JR did all he could to get it, and that may just include what is happening now!

We have a few big oil companies who pretty much run things in that industry, we have a few drug companies that are the major producers of the drugs doctors recommend for their patients, the media is in the hands of a few "right" leaning corporations, banks are being bought up by a few "big" banks, and more and more small business's are going down just like every week a few more banks go down. This is happening all over the world, not just in the U.S., and much of the money is coming from the same big groups that have been getting "bailouts" from Bush Jr. Obama will be left with "trillions" in debt, an economy that's taking, and an unemployment rate that is climbing.

Can Obama and the dems pull us out of this mess? I really think it can be done, but it is going to take time, and a lot of support by not only the people of this country, but by people around the world. One this is for sure though no matter what happens things will never be the same again thanks to George W. Bush.

BO and the current DNC (Do Nothing Congress) must get tough with heavy regulations on 'too big' corporations and wall street. I just don't see that happening anytime soon as the corporate lobbyists are still in charge. The 'old guard' in the DNC needs to be replaced with new thinkers.

as the consumer economy sputters and threatens to die completely.

C'mon, Washington, you know what to do about it. You're just scared.

same goes for workers and their paychecks I suppose. :)

Sad to say, you're right. This is going to be happening after the holidays more and more.

That The Tweeter Center will revert to being Great Woods Center for The Performing Arts?

That solves every problem these days.

I work for a company and was just hired in July. Our corporate boss is flying in tomorrow and everyone is scared. We already have had layoffs and most of the perks are gone.

Last year, according to people who have been around longer, the cafeteria served a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal for the employees for free. This year they charged $6 for Thanksgiving and it will be $3 for our Christmas meals. They have also cut out sponsored department parties. We are having ours, a lunch, in a restaurant that the managers chose. Not only do we have to pay for it, $15 each, but we have to clock out for the time we are gone.

I am lucky, right now I'm employed.
