Remember the old movie Trading Places? What if Jim Cramer
and Erin Burnett were switched with an unemployed father of 3 and an unemployed mother of 3? Cramer has been way too blithe about the average person losing their life savings. It's a game to him. And his advice, given with such bombastic confidence and authority, (In Cramer We Trust) was NEVER meant to be taken seriously, haha. Even though that IS how his financial network presents itself: as serious authorities. Then, there's Erin Burnett, who thinks the unemployed would get off their lazy asses and find jobs if only they didn't have unemployment benefits. Yes. That's right. It's that excessive unemployment check which is keeping that unemployed mother from finding a job.
So, Erin. You take care of your 3 children while looking for a job that will pay all of your bills. Meanwhile, that mother will take your job, reporting on America's financial outlook. Something tells me, that mother will do a better job than Erin will.
Who do you think is ready for a little Trading Places realty?(original movie with Dan Ackyrod and Eddie Murphy).

1. Ahhhhh...that's wonderful...
There would be nothing more beautiful, than to see Jim Cramer drunk off his ass in a Santa Claus
suit--chewing on a whole salmon that is tangled in his beard.

THAT would be a beautiful thing!
