thanksgivi thanksgiving. there are people packing it in and spending their money on that special day. if you go on k-mart s facebook page, a lot of angry comments are on the page. but you re right, people will be in the store at 6:00 a.m. on that morning. and we certainly saw complaints with k-mart. shopper on best buy s facebook page are saying that best buy should be ashamed of itself. and everybody needs to take a chill pill here. black friday weekend brought in $59 billion last year total for retailers. and this year shoppers say they re planning to spend less. think about it, starting one day early can really help offset that especially since thachx giving is happening so late this week. you look on best buy s facebook page, and one employee says he s excited to work because he ll time and a half and have extra money to spend on christmas.
cash is king. right. john? i m putting money in africa and the middle east. i m having success in egypt. the middle east is a metion but i think you can make some money with that mess. m.e.s., a fund that holds middle eastern stocks. high risk, high reward. you guys were great this week. that s it for cost of freedom block. thank you for joining us. but before we go, for the third time this week i heard the president claim he cut the deficit in half. listen. since i took office we cut the deficit in half. that claim is as disingenuous as they come. even in a town chocked full of liars, thieves. the last year under bush deficit was $159 billion. your first year were $1.3 trillion, $1.3 trillion, $1.3 trillion. in 2013 it is expected to drop to $759 billion. claiming you cut the deficit in half is nothing short of b.s. you cut the deficit that you
