UNKNOWN SKEPTIC: We've seen some pretty big banks melt down recently, so I don't
know. I hate to be a pessimist. But I also don't like to fake myself out. When I can't even afford to shop at
thrift stores because all my money goes to bills, I'd have to say this is the worst recession I've ever seen
in my life. I think Obama can fix the economy, though. As long as Obama wins things should be okay.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST: Well, when you have a bunch of men running banks and the stock market,
it's easy to see why their half-baked schemes ultimately fail. What you need is a lot more
women CEOs running the most important companies, and let men stick with what they do best: manual labor. |

WILD MAN BRU: Man, I can't even afford bullets for my gun. I gotta pay for this,
I gotta pay for that, I can't afford my mortgage payment so I'm just gonna tell them to go to hell.
What the freak am I supposed to do to have a good time, go rob someone? I can't stand
this lousy economy. I need an economic stimulus check ten times bigger than what they gave me before I can even afford to
go out and celebrate. |

BROKER BOB: You know, I've been doing really well shorting the market this year,
although every now and then we get these intense little rallies that throw me off. Yeah, I'm betting that the DOW
will drop below 11,000. In oher words, we have not seen the bottom yet. |

CHUMPY: Hell if I know. I just filed for bankruptcy. I don't need to be part
of this system anymore. I'm just gonna live in my trailer, movin' from town to town and maybe do lots
of camping. The best lesson I've ever learned is that the system pushes toward the negatives whereas the individual
seeks the positives. Don't let them beat you down like they did to me. |

MR. BIG BIZ: Oh, the economy is just fine. As long as GDP stays in the green,
we should do just fine. The President's economic stimulus package is working. We are seeing new horizons
of exponential wealth. Trust me, the rich are getting richer. |
