We're Americans, it can't happen to us.

Well, it can't happen twice.

Well, we might go into a little recession, but not a depression.

Yes, it is a little worse than we anticipated, but I'm sure we're over the worst of it now.

Oh, it does look kinda bad, but it can't get too bad, this is America.

Twenty percent unemployment... that's only a fifth of the workforce.

What do you mean Boeing is outsourcing? *I* work for Boeing!

I thought I'd get more than this for unemployment...

Yeah, we're on food stamps, but I make my wife do the grocery shopping.

We can't make it on just the wife's paycheck, so we're putting the house up for sale. Big yard sale this weekend.

We can't sell the house, so we're just going to have to walk away from it. Twenty years of payments down the tubes! Yeah, we're moving the fifth wheel into the inlaw's back yard, gonna live in that. Same school district, anyway.

How could this happen??? This isn't supposed to happen!!! This is AMERICA!
