Will Obama’s Win Make You Spend More?

Better Products not more advertising!!!

The economic situation has every company advertising all the junk in the world non-stop overloading the consumer with worthless advertising which is getting lost in the melee. American business should revert back to high quality products offering great value and meaningful advertising instead of cheap, downsized products offering nothing, hawked by screamers and foreigners at all hours creating a potpurri of junk. If business wishes to revive themselves they must act in a responsible manner. Many products have outstanding complaints backlogged to 2001 filed with the FTC which should be tackled in the new administration thus the business low-lifes are simply getting their last profits from an incompetent administration. As America rebuilds in a poor economy, it is now time to focus upon quality instead of quantity once again!!!

Atlas is about to Shrug

This is the time for productive people to vote with their pocketbooks. (Go John Galt)

Lay off workers, cook at home, skip expensive Christmas presents this year. Put the cash in the bank. (Plus save rising sales taxes.)

As Obama runs our economy into the tank, real estate will be your best hedge against inflation caused by $1 Trillion in Corporate Welfare to go along with another $1 Trillion of handouts to the "Help me pay my mortgage and buy my gas" crowd.

Let real estate bottom out and invest your savings.

Is he giving me spending money?

Well unless Obama gives me money to spend, I won't be spending anything. By the time I pay my rent, electric, food, and monthly Metrocard bills, I'm flat broke.

Nope, not spending.

No, I am saving my money like never before. I voted for Obama, but I am extremely worried about our economy and don't have any delusions that it will be easy to fix.

Stupid question

Obama cannot make me spend more at the mall, in the hall or in the mall, hall closet.

I am the only person that can elect to spend more at the mall or anywhere else if I have the money to spend and if I choose to spend it.

I can't wait until some of the people who voted for Obama realize they voted themselves out of a job.

That'll be priceless.
