jospeh: they are not winning, they are losing mega bucks all over. they are making yom tefilos and kinusim all over the place, are you blind?? the wealthy people who were investing lost their shirts, and those in business, are hurting as well, as purchasing power of the nation is drying up. the only store doing well so far is walmart. wake up! stop being so narrow minded and set in your eitzos that you are blind even to reality. there is no money out there. none. zer. zilch. there is so little money that the governmetn is going to be forced to print 800 billion new dollars, and cause runaway inflation. (which may be a good thing for the short term, as it makes the amount people owe, technically less, according to some economists.)
on a side point, what exactly do you do for a living. kollel? work? are you employed or an employer. or are you a still a bochur (i doubt this one, as your yidios in the past were pretty vast). im serious. i would love to know where your svoro of kollelim are winning is based on. (again, i am not sure what they are winning)
