Crisis What Crisis?

Are you sitting there shaking your head and wondering just what is going on in this world we live in, tell me has your mortgage gone up, mine has, so from now on it is skinny lizzy, do you find when you go shopping,what you normally buy is now twice as much,even compared to last week, do you even have a job?
 
Just look at the head lines, 'To Hell and Back', tell that to the people who are being repossessed,the dreadful up set for families, Oh said some bright spark they should not have exceeded their income.
 
OK , why were the banks so eager to lend out money, not just customers, but to each other.
Our economy has dived into the abyss, the big boy's have had their fingers burnt, but guss what, they get a big pay rise plus extra shares and still keep their job,  now if that had been me I would have been sacked and out on my ear.
 What are all the minions of the lower order going to do,lose their homes, jobs, on the dole, oh boy join the queue mate, look at the building trade, large lay off, so no housing being built, to add to that what about what I have said about the redundancies in local government, who next?
 
Sunday papers headlines  'Share Sharks MADE £190 m, JUST WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, is there no law to stop this ,if not there should be,
 
The US Treasury Secretary is asking the Sennett to approve $500 billion, to buy TOXIC ASSETS, excuse me but what the hell is that, would some body please explain to this bemused lady.
 
Just stop and think, whose money goes in to the Treasury,yes that's right yours and mine, so how are we going to pay the piper,will it be the care for our service men and women wounded in action,or will it be cut to the NHS, to supply drugs to patients with cancer, the simple answer is I just do not know, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will not be the fat cats oh no, they have their money in a nice haven with no tax.
 
Today's news after the highs we descend down to the lows, so no jubilation,as the shares have dropped down again.
 
I do not think that Santa Claus will be calling, plus the long range weather forecast is for a very cold Winter, one we have not had for years, so get your thermals checked out.,
