Who Do You Think Are the Winners (and Losers) in the Recession?
The recession is hurting many families and companies across the country, but there are a few bright spots.
We've identified 10 industries that are clearly benefiting from the recession and 10 more industries that seem to be riding out the recession with aplomb.
We've also revealed 10 industries that were long believed to be "recession-proof" but have proven to be about as reliable as an asset-backed security.
Who else do you think is a recession winner? And who are the biggest recession losers?

stimulus shamulus
The winners are the Obama supporters who somehow got all the stimulus funds. The losers are taxpaying Americans who work to support this corruption.
Leadership history of our nation and MEANS to force again
TWICE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION HAS THE LEADERS OF OUR NATION WORKED TOGETHER AS A UNIT BODY TO LEAD OUR NATION FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION AND THE PEOPLE IN IT
1. THE FORMATION OF THIS NATION AND THE CONSTITUTION -- AND EVEVTUALLY THE BILLS OF RIGHTS -- 27 SO FAR
ONE OF THREE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR NATION TO BRING OUR LEADERS TOGETHER TO WORK AS A UNIT BODY FOR THE GOOD OF OUR NATION & AND OUR PEOPLE
1. WORLD WAR 3. This will work---not a good choice
2. THE VOTERS TAKE OVER and declare NO MORE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON
A. FROM NOW ON. ONE (1) TERM --- NO RETIREMENT NO BENEFITS
B. WE WANT THE BEST IN THIS NATION and we will pay you PAY WILL BE
$1,000,000/yr --- no taxes get on with the business of this nation and do not worry
About how to put the kids through college
C. FROM NOW ON THE CURRENT ELECTION PROCESS WILL E NO MORE
FROM NOW ON ALL CAMPAIGNS ARE PAID BY THE PEOPLE --- Who pay for all
Campaigns anyway --- but have very choice IT NOW TAKES A BILLION DOLLERS
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT --- MILLIONS FOR CONGRESS. EVEN MILLIONS FOR
for local office. ----------- This is insanity
3.WE NEED TO FORCE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT TO WORK TOGETHER AS A
UNIT BODY FOR THE GOOD OF OUR NATION -- BY LAW. THERE IS NO LAW THAT
TELLS CONGRESS it must work together for the good of our nation and the people in it
4.We need BILL OF RIGHTS #28
"EVERY FIRST CLASS CITIZEN OF THE U S IS GAURANTEED A DECENT JOB --
defined as "one can live in dignity &afford hospitalization
We have everything it takes in our nation except the leadership
5. Why does it take WW2 to bring our leaders together as it did?
ANWSER. IT.DOES NOT ---- IT TAKES LEADERSHIP. AND WE ARE IN TROUBLE
Only 1 anwser to crisis congress forced on our nation
U S economy round number 15 trillion $/yr
world economy round number 60 trillion $/yr
wallstreet "derivatives" worldwide approx 600 trillion $
not all of this is bad - but a big portion is bad
what is the awwser??? Only one
increase the wealth of this nation - eventually pay of these stupid debts and get on with our lives. How do we do this?? Increase the productivity of our nation --- the wealth of ANY nation is it's productivity -- produce 0 -- wealth is zero
how to do this??? Look at HISTORY at the quickest massive increase in productivity (wealth) in our history. ----- forced by WW2 --- we built factories all over this nation -- and put everybody to work - productivity - good paying jobs.
Why does it take a war to do this?????? ANWSER. It doesn't. iT takes leadership --- And there we are SORELY LACKING
iF we had GREAT leadership -- the congress & the president would jointly send a directive to all governors of all states to round up the best business people in their state & form a comittee -- send them to DC & be prepared to spend some time. And once there start out with a very Simple premis. THE WEALTH OF ANY NATION IS ITS PRODUCTIVITY & WE ARE GOING INTO THE PRODUCTIVITY BUSINESS!!!!!!!!
Then determine major projects for all states
Example. MISSISSIPPI YOU ARE GOING INTO THE COPY MACBINE BUSINESS Form a corporation "MISSISSIPPI ONE". Sell stock only to Mississippi citizens. HIRE only Mississippi citizens and begin a NASA TYPE construction project immediately. PRODUCE OUR OWN PHONES, COMPUTERS , TV'S, AIR CONDITIONERS. etc etc
Make the things we invented but do not produce
USE. ? TARP money to helf citizens to own stock & jobs in a massively productive nation a d be able to live In dignity & AFFORD HOSPITALIZATION --- And not need or want welfare
WHAT DESTROYED ROME (who controlled the known world)??? WELFARE. THE US is now at a base rate of 15% of GDP GOING TO WELFARE --- IF CONTINUED --- WILL DESTROY ANY NATION including our country
