In the not so recent past GM was a successful company - in the not so recent past Hyundai wasn't. Guess why one needed a government bailout to survive

What can anyone say, inflation is getting higher and family income is getting lower. It looks like we all will end up in poverty and in the soup lines.
Now the Federal Reserve has started shrinking the money supply and that willl make things worse, far, far worse.

wait until the dollar bill loses its place in the world because of massive debt...you ain't seen nothing yet! prices on basic goods will triple...sometimes 3 times in one day!!! look that up.

Poor management and unfare foreign competition through so called free trade deals.

Government regulation worked wonders for California - and government regulations under Carter did wonders for natural gas - no matter how many times liberal ideas fail the liberals have a childlike faith they'll work the next time.

As to speculators, I'd offer two comments:
- speculators win and lose - if they are responsible for price rises they are also responsible for price declines
- and, the liberal hero, George Soros, is the biggest speculator of them all.

From your perspective how did regulation affect California? I'm looking for specific examples if you have any. Do you live in California and if you do, where do you live northern or southern Cal? in a city, suburb or rural? I guess I'm trying to understand better how you came about with your opinion.

Wow - somehow all the American based companies had poor management while the foreign based ones had great management - and even when they produced here they outperformed the Americans. Interesting theory based on finding a way to deny the obvious.

As to fair trade - that too is empty - American consumers made their decisions based on what they saw as value for dollar spent - but then liberals always have problems with people making financial decisions for themselves -

I once lived in the Central Valley - but if you want to understand how I came about my opinion research the government regulation on electricity that mandated utilities purchasing practices - regulators required them to buy short and sell long - and when prices skyrocketed and the entire state experienced rolling black outs, the great cry was utility mismangement. The same management brought things back to earth once the regulations were rescinded.

I will look into the government regulation on electricity that mandated utilities purchasing practices. I stayed for a summer about an hour away from Fresno about four years ago. It seemed that it was hit harder economically than other parts of California.

Two simple steps in any order:

1. Shop at DOLLAR TREE
2. Get a JOB.

You'll be fine.

Why worry? remember you will be able to live like a king on those super generous food stamp allotments. Chateaubriand and Lobster Thermidor every night! just like the lazy welfare folks.

I would rather eat old newspapers that go on the Dole.
