[QUOTE=pinkpanda3310;347473]I can appreciate what you've said but it's hard to see past the people we beleive to be in power for the people who really are in power- banks and corporations.

The banks were the the catalyst with there low-doc and no-doc loans and the ceo's of the fortune 500 were the scare mongers that worsened the situation. Money used to be a real item- there was paper and coins. Now it is an idea that the banks create from/with.

The only person who would have the balls or stupidity to re-make the system is first going to have to kick the chair out from under the current system. QUOTE]

EAXACTLY.....the reins of the economy are in the hands of the money, not the gov't.
I haven't seen a whole lot of people giving up salary, cuts in costs of necessities (if anything, those have continued to rise), or in entertainment $$ (both cost to consumers, and operating costs to them). Until such things occur (across the board), any rebound is only going to be temporary.
