Quit worrying about the economy. I have it from a good source,
Phil Gramm, that the stock market crash is a "mental crash." It's all just in our heads.

Whiners.

1. Yes, we should just trust Dr. Phil. I'm sure he has our best interests at heart.

6. He's right;. But the "mental economy:" is the only one we had
since we shipped our jobs to China, so the "mental depression" is going to feel very real.

2. If only I had insurance so I could get some antidepressants to deal
with my mental crash.

3. Yeah, gateley I hear you.
Not so bad for us as my husband works for a utility and is in a union but for so many others out there is is terrible. My Grandmother's savings is going down the drain and I hope she has enough to pay for medical expenses.

4. I hate to wish ugly stuff on anyone, but I hope Dr. Phil lost a
bundle this week.

8. And we can't do a darn thing about it. Just throw you 401K reports in the trash.
If everyone did so, we might spare a few folks some heart attacks.
