I just read the newspapers and heard the radio shows talking about the “experts” telling us that the recession has arrived to the USA, only it was back in December of 2007.

It seems that it is not worth to work at all with all the economy downspiral. How can we work in an environment where all the “backdoor” deals and corporate CEO’s are getting all the “golden parachutes” worth millions of dollars?
