Sorry but the economy is in a serious slide. Pretending it isn’t so won’t help anyone.
Tell me what Gramm said that isn’t true...
The evidence for this is? Unemployment near historic lows? An economy that's posted positive growth despite spiking energy prices? Gramm made the mistake of dissing the most sacred of political cows: The Whino-American. He should've made the point that our economy can't stand the pressure against contraction much longer and the Democrats need to stop trying to "Hoover" President Bush and start passing some energy legislation. His real sin was having a tin ear, but he was not wrong.
Phil is not suggesting that the economy isn’t in a slide. The economy just isn’t that bad if you have some historical context. If you do have some historical context then it is as plain as day; we live in a nation full of whiners. That’s not to say that everyone is a whiner, just that we have a vast number of them in this country. Most of them seem to work in the MSM. Phil was right, and McCain is silly for not standing by Phil’s remarks.
The economy has significant problems, most of which can only get worse if the government intervenes.
Also, while the economy may suck where you are at, you can’t apply that to everywhere in the country. Overall, the economy isn’t particularly bad.
I have noticed all the Restaurants are full and people are paying up to $100 in someplaces to see Batman movie.......
Other parts are doing all right.
Don't believe all the Leftist hype being spewed out there to get the Communist Organizer elected. It's typical election-year BS, except, of course, in 2000, when W tried to bring up the recession that was beginning and the MSM told him, “Hush, you'll ruin the economy talking about it that way” (because they wanted ALgore to win).
