Job losses tally 54,000 today alone.

I don't think any education is 'wrong' an MBA is a great avenue but it should hopefully be from a reputable school so as to be of good use in the job hunt.  Good luck Tony and hey it could be worse you could be wiping sh*t like McMannus here 

The best thing IMHO is to get on a local FD and just hang out.

So companies that over expanded in a great economy, then realize they have to contract their size are somehow the govts problem?  I mean go ahead bash the stimulus with actual issues but give me a freaking break. Walmart was expanding beyond itself and layoffs were only a matter of time.  Verizon is in one of the most competitive markets in the country and with cable tv etc being a luxury this is a market correction not a govt initiated problem.  The only way verizon etc are getting business is by offering cut throat deals with back loaded contracts.  Their margins are so thin it's not funny.  You expect a stimulus bill to fund cable tv now???

It shouldnt take two years to get rid of those excesses.
