    One year ago in November

    I was telling my father to wait one year to buy a house, I have a feeling we're headed for a recession, or even a depression. He's a CPA, financial planner, college planner and what ever else that long list of initials after his name means but he couldn't tell what I knew as a have not: We would not be able to take anymore of Bush's economic policies. If you were like me, a have not, you knew this was coming. Every time this happens it's right after the self indulgent entitlement crowd has been partying it up for too long... just like the DINKs in the '80s. I think it's time to stop asking the wealthy and powerful what to do and start relying on what keeps people like me going... Common Sense.
