It's beyond recession, we are heading into depression. Many more banks are expected to close. And Bush, Cheney and company keep getting richer.

I come on this sight to sort of escape reality and get the lowdown on Hollywood. You guys are not legitimate reporters, you are gossip whores! Stop posting things about the presidential campain, the economy, etc.

There's still stupid fucks out here who will vote Republican. If you say the President doesn't affect the economy, I will call you out for a fucking liar. He does. And the shit he believes in, the people he trusts, and the greedy, fat bastards he lets get into the government are robbing us blind. And what makes it so bad and so funny is these same people who are crying about losing jobs, and pray for us, and the same people who are heartless, and mean, and full of shit, defending Bush and pulling shit out of your asses trying to sound so smart? All y'all will be in the same sinking boat, because we are well and truly fucked and George Walker Bush did it. He fucked us all with a limp dick. Congress laid down for it and the Supreme Court is in his pocket. Half of them have husbands and wives and lovers who are on the take. They are all friends Cheney and the Supreme Court guys. People better wake the fuck up. We are losing our asses out here.

Bush's greatest blunders have been; ignoring Greenspan and Bernake when they said these high risk mortgages were going to crush the banking industry and our economy, getting into a no win war, and refusing to admit that we are in a recession. The current regime still wont admit we are in a recession. What more do they need to see? I guess because the super rich aren't affected by the recession it really doesn't matter. They just refuse to admit their mistakes and call everyone that doesn't buy their bullshit unpatriotic. I for one am sick of it, and I cannot believe anyone would still defend the shrub. God help us all.

It's sad to watch American companies crumble. Last week, St. Louis lost it's claim to fame - the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, which makes Budweiser and the rest of the gang - to foreign beer company In-Bev. So expect more layoffs and sadly, expect an American company to be ran by Europeans, whose money simply is more lucrative than ours.

Also, lets not forget that an American icon, Anheuser Busch, the makers of Budweiser, has just been sold to a Belgium brewery ! I think that's bullshit!

Re: Kim – Not gonna happen. GM is not for sale, is not gonna get bought out and for certain will not shut its Chevy plants. They again are the biggest sellers. They are cutting back production on thier trucks and SUVs. But not shutting. Chevy is making the Volt!

Reading these comments sure make me chuckle.

I love watching Americans scream and yell at each other over their economy like they know what they're talking about. Not saying all of you are dickheads…but a lot are.

Fact is the US IS on it's way into a recession and if you do any research OFF perezf-inghilton.com and Fox News sites, you will see just how it's happened. The US dollar has sat pretty for years and now it's worth so little that not even street vendors in foreign countries want it. Costs of living are soaring, you have foreclosure on houses everywhere and Fanny Mae's stock to a 50% drop last week.

Stop ranting about 'buying American' cars and shit. It's way too late to start getting behind your consumer industries. Most manufacture off shore anyway.

Like it or not, there's a new 'superpower' on it's way and it's name is China.

We can thank the evil greedy Unions for this. They have been slowly sucking the life out of the auto industry for years.

It also doesn't help when you build shitty cars.

1 - abolish labor unions, then maybe GM can afford to stay in the game.
2 - if you expect people to buy American, then at least give them quality and relevant products. GM has not made a decent product for decades.
3 - because of the collapse of American auto makers, Detroit is a cesspool. Every major corporation in Michigan revolve around American autos. As GM, Chrysler & Ford continue to fail, people continue to lose their jobs, benefits, pensions, insurance, etc. Detroit is #2 in the nation for the number of homeless citizens and unemployment rate. Only post-Katrina New Orleans beats Detroit in these unwanted touts of notariety.

Cooki- Thank you for your common sense. I don't understand why these people buy product after product from China etc and we keep losing our industries. There is no upper middle class anymore and soon there won't be a middle class. Keep it up self haters! Move out of the US if you hate it so.

Amanda Bynes Was Involved In ANOTHER Hit-And-Run!

Can someone take this girl's license away, please?

Amanda Bynes will finally be appearing court on June 6th for her April 6th DUI arrest, but apparently, she's may have to return very soon after that, because the actress was involved in ANOTHER hit-and-run only a few short days AFTER the first!
