1. Sick.

[spanone]

3. what sickens me is that he will walk away from all this and make fortunes...that's really criminal

not a shred of responsiblility

[gratuitous]

2. It's robust!

Or something "bust."

Maybe Bush didn't quite get around to reading all those reports from his one day economic summit in Waco?

[spanone]

4. i wonder if junior still thinks the 'fundamentals are strong'

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

5. I left grad school to enter a collapsing job market and now don't have a job at all.

So what do you think?

[razors edge]

6. Like the president was too cheap

to buy KY Jelly.

7. It's not about JR bush

It's a philosophy that's been in play since at least the '80s. My chosen profession was electronics and I saw the coming shitstorm back then. Companies didn't want to pay for intelligent, skilled employees, they wanted a cheap pair of hands to follow the instructions given by the few the company could justify paying for. The financial elite need to learn the lesson that you can make more money with skilled and capable labor than you can with cheap disposable labor.
