Default Really???

I just caught a headline on the news site that said Ben Bernanke (Chairman of the Fed) is "puzzled why Americans aren't spending more money"? Personally, I find it difficult to spend what I don't have. I also feel the need to save any extra there might be when everytime I go to the grocery store prices have risen...again. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44441970...umer-spending/

If he can't figure out why people aren't spending money then he probably needs to step down immediately. We are paying more for food, gas, clothing, and everything else and there haven't been any raises for years.

That's insane! These guys are so totally out of touch with the real American public instead of all of his fat cat buddies. They need to be given a minimum wage salary for a month while they are cut off from all of their resources and see what happens.

I saw the same thing and I was like - seriously? The extra money we have (when we have it) goes into savings. I can't buy things that I don't need. It's a terrible economy out there. I think the Government thinks we are going to get them out of it by spending.

The people running this country into the ground are complete and total morons. If people can't afford to put food on their tables, gas in their cars, or pay their mortgage of course they aren't spending on anything else either!
