In other lovely financial news…

Things really aren’t looking good for the U.S. economy. Not only have has prices risen to $3.50 average per gallon in Los Angeles, but in February employers slashed the most jobs in five years, totaling 63,000.

There is no way that this can continue and still maintain a competitive US economy. Or any US economy for that matter. Citizens simply can’t afford to pay more for gas when they don’t have a job. And don’t even get me started on how the hell these people will be able to afford to pay their mortgages.

I’ll admit, I am all for corporations making money. That’s what they’re meant to do. But when it comes to having to lay off employees to stay in the black, that is some bullshit, especially in times like these. There’s no way this trend can continue without turning into financial ruin for the country.
