Ah, 'C'mon now, Bob,
We're in the anointed hands of "The Messiah",
What could possibly go wrong?
You are just too child-like and ignorant to see that all of this spending
and printing of sawbacks is a GREAT thing.
Look at Greece.
Economic collapse, rioting in the streets, but you get to retire at 50 and
1/3 of the Greek people work for the government. That is what BO wants
here. The only segment of the US economy expanding is the GOVERNMENT.
And don't forget all of those union members rioting to keep their sweet
benefits.
BO's favorite and most frequent White House Guest is the head of the SEIU.
Socialism works. Just look at Cuba, China, North Korea, the former Soviet
Union.
We have a lot to look forward to.

Although I recognize what is happening to video poker, I have always
thought that no matter how bad it gets that one would still be able to find good
plays for quarters, and if I were of retirement age that would be an ok
way to spend my time or supplement my life. But what scares me now more than
anything, more than the state of video poker, is the very real possibility
in my mind that when I am of that age, a quarter will not be a quarter. If
we do face staggering inflation because of the huge amounts of paper money
being pumped into circulation, or even "hyperinflation" what would grinding
out $50 a day at quarter machines mean? It might be like playing for
5-cents means now, essentially nothing. Of course, if we have hyperinflation, I
guess video poker is the last thing we'll be worrying about. Probably not a
good topic to bring up on VPFree, but personally, I am scared to death of
what our country's future is going to look like.
