Its effecting me a lot because my mother and father have to pay for my sister and I to go to college. My sister goes to college this year and I will be attending college in 2010. Its a very difficult time. However, now that I know that Barack Obama won and hearing about his $4000 college plan, I have a little sigh of relief.

You have to pay to go to college?

Duh, education here isn't about who is qualified to get it, like in Europe, its about who can pay for it.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Do you work for SPECTRE? Awesome.

Nope, they said I was over-qualified.
I work for a telecommunications company, and I'm working on the next big thing (LTE). If they stopped this project, it would amount to stagnating as a business. Not gonna happen unless things go horribly wrong.
The huge cash reserve is because after the 2002 telecom crash most telecom companies decided to create a safety cushion.

You can't be overqualified to terrorize people. The smarter you are, the most ingenious methods you devise to warp the world into your cruel, twisted image.
Meh, ever since the guy with the cat died, SPECTRE has been on the decline anyway.

I'm a paramedic, so all a recession means to me is cheap gas. However, as soon as obamas tax plans go through I know a lotta people who are going to be screwed. My dad has to fire two people from his business. His best friend has to fire 7 from his. Two of my moms friends who own small businesses will have to close. They're over the 250k a year mark (what business isn't?) but they personally make about as much as someone who works in a grocery store. It's already worth nothing for them except maybe as a status symbol to say "Hey, I own my own business.". One of my best friends works for my dad as a computer tech guy, and he's pretty sure he's gonna be one of the two that are screwed since he's low guy on the pole.
That's a lot of people I know personally that are going to be screwed by Obamas tax plans. Now they have to find jobs in an already down economy. God help us. I can't imagine how many businesses are going to go out of business and how many people are going to be fired because nobody can afford his stupid tax "plan". I really, really hope he changes his mind.
Sorry this isn't 100% on topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread and I thought it was pretty relevant to the topic.
Yes, I'm directly affected... and contributing.
A lot of companies have stopped hiring now and when they do, it's for full time jobs which I can't rhyme with my studies. Because I don't have an income now I keep my wallet secure and only buy the necessary items.
I'll be done with university in may or soemthing so I hope that we have passed through the worst of it by then.

meh I get the feeling they are gonna close our store. They just shifted a bunch of management elsewhere, haven't replaced our manager after he got fired, and cut our hours as far down as the union allows.
And I can't jump from the sinking ship cause everyones got a hiring freeze right now.

(that was meant somewhat as a joke, don't take it too seriously)
