you poor, ignorant americans ... this forum just proves beyond any doubt that you have what you deserve. your b.o. your deliver some more of the bad medicine you need. enjoy the nightmare that is coming your way. the best thing of all this is that, with most americans falling into poverty and/or maxing out their credit, you will stop coming to our countries as tourist trash.

All the more reason to work for yourself if you possibly can.

George W. Bush: Worst President Ever!

He should do the country a massive favor by resigning immediately (he's doing nothing anyway) and then never show his face again. Just disappear.

Good grief, Im starting to see that more and more people are blaming the DEMs or the GOP instead of just blaming government! Whats wrong GOP supporters, cant see any fault in your precious party? Same with the democrats..cant see anyhting wrong with congress? What happened to us just hating the government all together? It seems we've done a classic turn on ourselves in a time we should be coming together! No I didnt vote Nader either. People need to get over the election and get on with it!

We have to revolt and get a complete new CONgress. Or we can all kissyourmiddleclassassgoodbye.us

thank you Steve and Greg!

lastdance is playing too much world of warcraft. haha

The real problem is with worker compensation. The few at the top are way over compensated and the many at the bottom are barely getting enough to get by on. This "trickle down" attitude is the main contributor to our economic woes. One man/woman or family for that matter can only own so many homes, cars, planes and etc, before they run out of stuff they want or need to buy. Then all that money they are making begins to pile up in the banks and as they say the rich get richer. We need to rethink how we pay our workers so that the money gets circulated more efficiently in this consumer driven economy.

To Nancy Miller, One who knows his ass from a hole in the wall will not appear in black skin!

That is nothing compared to what will happen if a bail-out of the "Big 3" is not provided. People have no idea of the repercussions to not only the auto industry, but of the domino effect that will occur in businesses throughout the country.

Yup, gotta love it. Democrats were busy lynching the Bush Administration these past 4 years letting our economy go down the crapper! And I am now seeing that the Democrats are beginning to see the real picture of what is going on in the world (now that they have been briefed). They are retracting some of their pledges.....oh how interesting this is....how interesting. Just curious to see how Hillary will be doing - watching her hubby go after the interns...once again. Kinda scarey thinking about her and her anger in the position she now holds.....LOL.

Nothing surprising to me that the Unemployment jumped that high. I have been out of work for nearly 16 months and things are only getting worse as it goes along. After my last 7 weeks of EUC Benefits I will end up on welfare. God Bless America!

***** Other Way ****** Tourist trash? Why don't you tell us what country you are representing? America has been bailing out countries like yours for too long. Without our money - your country would be having financial problems. And, we are not tourist trash - without our money where would your country be? Possibly your anger is not needed on this blog?

The whole of this "unemployment plague" is yet to play out. Within months the unemployment rate will be almost 15% and violent crime will rise to epic proportions. The American "standard of living" that includes a house, two cars, and 4 TVs is about to end.

I am confused! I am married with 5 children including 30 year old twin sons (on their own), 12 & 10 year old sons and a 6 year old daughter with Autism.
I was raised without the "perks" in life other than loving parents and a loving family.
I finally found my "break" in life after opening my mortgage business in 2003. Due to extensive therapy needed for an Autistic child, all of my earnings and savings went to therapy and "survival" over the past 2 years.
We are struggling and have lost our home. Why are these "bail outs" being given to major companies when there are so many of us needing small financial assistance to make ends meet.

This recession will be especially acute because over the past twenty-five years we moved our manufacturing off-shore and became a service sector economy. The remedy begins with jobs. It's not a credit solution because we have an economic crisis of confidence. Credit can't fix that.

There goes the market ! Get Bush off the TV !

God Bless America!

Gotta Luv it - LOL..your a MORON. How did you come up with that from a name & a one liner ? Think before you type. Wow.

I usually do not read the comments due to the emotionalism and foolish comments one would find in a bar, after a couple too many. Some comments are good and thought-provoking. The thought-provoking comments are certainly worth reading.

Unemployment rate increasing. I cannot believe anyone enjoys reading those numbers. News agencies are like anyone else meaning if a job can be accomplished the easy way then do it. The issue is those news reports are not doing the job. How many U.S. jobs were an exchange of an American employee for an overseas employee? Important information that would involve effort. Everyone knows many times it is not what you read but what you don't read. Each individual needs to put the effort into finding the answers to their questions. Please do not be a person who believes all what they read or listen to all what a politician says.

I am a hardcore democrat and the democratic congress has dropped the ball seriously. $700bil. bailout did not control CEO pay. I investigated the bill and due to lobbying of CEO's there are so many loopholes not a single CEO needs to be concerned. Why are banks investing money rather than working on the loans the bailout funds were intended to invest into? Because the bill that passed had language unrestricted to impose anything upon the banks. Otherwise the misuse of the funds we have alread seen, the government could insist upon the return of the funds with interest to be offered to a different lending institution. The language in the bill is simply not present. Read the bill yourself. I believe the passage of the bill was only a failed political ploy to increase consumer confidence.

Should President Bush be impeached? Let's see, breaking promises to the American people, lying and hiding information to Americans and Congress, torture, illegal holding "prisoners", wiretapping, reading e-mails. If I was President I would want to prove to the world the accusations are false, appoint a tough indipendent council. If the accusations above are true then the question is if a President who swore to support and enforce the Constitution is a criminal. A conclusion is not if a law was broken (I do not mean a law passed by Congress in violation of the Constitution that would not stand-up to the Supreme Court) then we need to ask if the President, administration, is above the law? The Nixon pardon told American a President is above the law. Every American want's to believe the law has the same force and effect on every American regardless of a position in society. How can American believe in anything if we cannot believe in our Constitution.

Ouch. That is a lot of jobs.

I don't think it takes a genius to see that if you want to stimulate the economy you don't give money to financial instutions that are going to do nothing but pay themselves with it first, give it to the average working taxpayers who are the ones that are going to pump that money back into the economy. The banks would still make money when these people catch up on their mortgages due to back interest and all late fees, the auto companies wouldn't need a bailout because their sales would go up and jobs would be created because there would be a demand for goods and services again. I'm not a politician, and am proud of that fact, because once you take an elected office it seems that the ability to think rationally flies out the window.
