Indicators of a bad economy

Top 12 indicators that the economy is bad:

12. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

11. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

10. I went to buy a toaster oven and they gave me a bank.

9. Hot Wheels and Match Box car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market.

8. Obama met the small business...GE, Pfizer, Chrysler, Citigroup and GM...to discuss the Stimulus Package.

7. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

6. People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and are learning their children's names.

5. The most highly paid job is now jury duty.

4. People In Africa are donating money to America.

3. Motel 6 won't leave the lights on

And the number 1 indicator (have your groan ready?):

i know your thread is meant to be a joke, but back in the 60's when i was in high school in my general

business class, the teacher told us to watch general motors.

he said when gm goes down, so will the rest of the country. which is why i always bought chevy's.

wanted to do my part of keeping gm going. and look, he was right about gm.

My dad used to say that when the price of a loaf of bread was more than a dollar, we were in for deep trouble. Well, I can still buy a loaf for 99 cents at the bakery outlet store, but we're definitely getting close. And I don't mean the plastic foam imitation stuff that passes for bread in some quarters. That's still 79 cents at the outlet store on special days.

sunnyside7: When I was a kid in the 40's, you could get a loaf of bread and a quart of milk at our little neighborhood grocery store for a quarter. One day my mom sent me to get some and my quarter wasn't enough, the price of each had gone up one cent. My mother and all the neighbor ladies were soon out in their back yards carrying on over the fences and hedges about how the country was going to the dogs(thanks to Roosevelt) and we were soon going to be destroyed by inflation. If they had only known!!!

Sadly - the little neighborhood groceries are all gone also.
