Ghost Man I wish they had ramen noodles when I went to Senior Week and Spring Break. We had to survive on just beer... ;D ;D As a side note 4 more retailers are pulling out in Market Commons. I kinda hoped that would do well.

Ghost One of the things I found interesting when I did this report in January was the trend. From an all time low in 1998 it took 10 years for the unemployment to double. MB has been on a downward spiral albeit slow for 10 years. However in one year the Mayor has accelerated that decline 10 fold. The destructive powers of this administration should be obvious to all who care.
Now for the REALLY scary part. We predicted that unemployment by July would be around 14%. If we extrapolate the May numbers out we will see unemployment in MB around 19%. There comes a point where the system fails completely and we are fast approaching that point in my opinion. When that happens you best lock and load. If you think armed robbery is bad now see what happens if we get to 19%

THEY WILL BE VICTIMIZED by the people who desparately need money to survive. Hmm, something else!
