Costs nothing, it's a corporate scheme.

You should check around. We have had the same scheme since 1988. I have had surgery under it, so has my wife. The service we received was outstanding.

Either you're a congressman or you're completely full of shit.

That's not the OP, you can see that as he has a different take on it.

My life isn't booming, it's probably not going to. But it's not going to bust either, no matter how hard the recession hits.

The point is simpler than you guys think it is. This thread was dead after the first post - if you think you can pick my position apart by chipping away at it, you're wrong - like I said, me and millions like me can guarantee that our lifestyles will be utterly immune to any financial crisis or credit crunch.

Amen Obama is irrelevant, why because I am smarter than they are in Washington, they can do nothing to affect me. the whole economic crisis was planned to controll the "little people" I think was how Obama put it in a speech in San Fransisco.

My work is not dependant on the government. It is barely dependant on the US economy. On any economy, for that matter.

I work in an industry that has proven to be pretty much the most resiliant to financial busts (and booms) since industrialisation evolved.

I really, and I mean REALLY assure you, the whole country can go bust around me, and it won't make any difference.

Of course you don't. It doesn't touch you, yet. The longer the recession/depression goes on the more likely it will touch you, or others who think as you do.

Just like the early 1990s, the crime will come for you eventually.

You're quite wrong.

In the early 90's, I was just getting my career moving. It has been steady and solid ever since.

I'll give you this - if the recession goes on for more than 25 years, I may start to worry.

Until then, the biggest effect it will have on me is the time I'm taking to post in this thread.

I'm not talking about you, or your career. I'm talking about the animals outside the gate.

The amount of darkies this time around will make things worse if the downturn goes on too long.

You can hide behind the gates for only so long before they get to you.

I'm one of them.

I work in a pretty reliable industry. My job is one of the last ones that will disappear in a financial crisis.

I'm not rich, but I earn a comfortable living.

My credit rating is gold plated, I have financed just about every large purchase I ever made for the last 20 years, have a mortgage, and have never missed a payment on anything.

I don't have a credit card, I have a Visa card that debits straight out of my account. It's a joint account with my wife.

Bought a new car in November. Sits beside my 11 month old motorcycle under the carport.

I can state that the recession means absolutely ZIP to me. My house hasn't increased in value for 2 years, but who gives a shit, I'm not moving. In 5 years time it'll all be over and I'll just watch the value start creeping up again.

Nada. Zilch. Simply don't give a shit.

Exactly your just like me my house is paid for I own 6 autos all but two paid for, don't give a shit about my home value either, economic crisis is a hoax.
