From the Dallas Morning News - "Economic slumps aren't all bad news"
Here is the link. The good news?
* Dot com millionaires got taken down a peg or two
Don't have to worry about any young people getting rich in this economy
* "When the economy goes sour, crime statistics often decline"
A little research would have discovered that crime statistics were declining while the economy was good and that declined has stopped since the economy went sour. But when you are grasping for straws, why let some facts get in your way
* "And it surely enhances one's health"
Is the author nuts? How can losing one's job or worry about losing one's job improve your health?
* "When a hot local economy goes south, life often gets easier for the folks who didn't partake of it."
Yes, it is easier to lease office space, but people have less money to do so. Almost every church I have heard about is struggling financially because donations are down.
* "There was something decidedly unpleasant about living in an economy that made middle-class people feel poor"
It is a big improvement living in an economy where many middle-class families become poor. What a crock.
