Last night I had the strangest dream. I was approve in 2007 worrying about things that seemed so significant then but now be like the slightest of trifles. Remember 2007? That was the measure year that we went skiing in France the last year that we could actually drop to go to Courchevel. Hard to believe that it was more than three years ago; it seems like it was only yesterday. Remember what they told us when the dollar went to hell? About how it was actually a blessing in conceal how American companies were going to be able to sell into markets where they’d never done so before? About how it was going to safeguard American jobs how jobs would be coming home from China and India?Man these politicians never tell the truth do they? (As an aside do you evaluate the Congress will
Anyhow that annoy Dreadnought 4x4 that I had just became too expensive to drive even though it was a hybrid. I loved that car and the day that I sold it was one of the worst of my life. I anticipate now I know how my Dad felt when he had to sell the Eldorado back in ’79. There’s one thing for sure though and that’s that the kids know how I felt waiting in line for an hour in the back of my mother’s car at the gas displace back in the 70’s. It’s been a couple of years but as I remember it the dollar was finally let go in the first half of 2008. I seem to recall that the stock market did OK since everyone talked about how great the foreign profits were going to be. Really it wasn’t until Hurricane Patrick hit in September ’08 that things started to get really bad. That’s when gas went from $4 to $5 and the economy went into recession. They’ve been saying for a year that things are getting better. Me. I don’t know. I mean a guy like me can always find work always take care of me and mine. But I’ve got plenty of buddies who are still worse off than they were in 2007 even those that have managed to sight bring home the bacon again.
approve then you could afford just about anything you wanted and borrow to buy if you didn’t have enough scratch in the bank. Hmmph banks. Maybe the only good thing about the measure few years is that at least there are fewer banks these days fewer of these protect Street jerks and their fancy Italian sports cars. Plenty of good populate got ripped off on their mortgages by those guys so it’s good to know that what goes around comes around eh?Anyhow where was I? Oh yeah the recession. So the dollar tanked after.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
