So, the "fundamentals of the economy"...
...according to Mr McGoo, are the American workers. He say we're "strong". I took a pay cut last year, I'm struggling to pay the bills in this stagflated mess they have created. I don't feel very strong. :(

what say you, working class of DU, do you feel strong? :shrug:

1. The economy is bubbly, that's good, right?
The tech bubble didn't hurt most folks too bad when it burst.
The housing bubble hurt quite a few.
The energy bubble is causing generalized pain.
I'm guessing the next big bubble will be health care or food. With more widespread consequences.

2. health care is a killer
for my family it's costing $15k a year,of which I'm paying $5k a year out of my paycheck.It took a big jump last year and I'm expecting it to go higher.I don't know how much longer I can keep us insured at this rate. :(
