Jim Palmer Trucking to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The Associated Press quoted lawyers for Jim Palmer Trucking as saying a poor economy and high fuel prices have left the company as much as $2 million behind in repaying loans and other debts. The president of the 44-year-old company says he’s just looking for a little “breathing room” and fully intends to continue operating.
Let's just hope everyone doesn't gasp for air at the same time.

How To Collect From Deadbeats
"Especially in this economy, don't wait 120 days to get help if a debtor has been non-communicative, bounced checks or made several broken promises of payment," says Hartleb. "The debtor could be looking at filing some kind of insolvency and you don't want them to go bankrupt before you get paid."

The Misery Index peaked in June 1980, when the jobless rate reached 7.6 percent and consumer prices rose 14.4 percent.

I'm still looking for that dollar colapse Mark, the more these clowns in CONgress and the FED do the worse this is going to get.

Kevin,
I'm bullish on the misery index. At the very least we have the potential to be much more "miserable" than the Great Depression. High unemployment was offset by high deflation then. I doubt we get so "lucky" this time.

Perfect. Using hindsight and/or common sense, 1% interest rates back in 2004 were certainly mischievous at the very least.
There's something to be said for hoarding canned goods even as the price of oil falls (no idea where it will head next, I'm rather neutral).
I'm CONfident that Chile CON carne is a relative bargain. When in Rome, do unto the Romans as they would do unto us (might be mixing a few sayings there ;)).
Meanwhile, as I extrapolate today's stock market rally into the distant future, a thousand years from now we'll all be rich beyond even our wildest imaginations (at the very least!!).
