Face Palming Like It's 1929

Just proving that there is pretty much a blog for everything

The Brokers With Their Hands On Their Faces Blog

Meanwhile our President celebrated his 50th birthday with 5 separate birthday parties including the one at the White House where, according the the news, danced for house and lead the conga line.

(I do hope that the news report was an exaggeration...)

Don't get me wrong,

I have absolutely nothing against President Obama celebrating his birthday

with his family and close friends

but was a celebrity filled blow out barbecue at the White House appropriate

in the same week as the US was being downgraded by S&P?

Are you getting that 1929 kind of feeling?

cause I am

Brokers 1929

Well We All Slog On...

Yes, I know

This week there's not much to be happy about

Wall Street is Crashing...again

US faces a downgrade on debt

Europe is on the brink of a major financial collapse

Consumer spending is down for the first time in two years

Gold Prices reached another record high

Unemployment is through the roof

$13 Trillion Dollars of Debt will soon overtake the US GDP

So why am I smiling in my vintage silver jewelry?

I'm smiling because it's summer...still

and because my brother and my nephew will be in California this week
and because my entire family is getting together for a barbecue

and because while we are always in some sort of economic crisis or another
we just get used to it and slog on

I'm also smiling because at Beladora.com we are in the unique position of being able to offer
