The economy is up, the GDP is up, jobs are growing, manufacturing indexes are up, retail is up. The historic record is RIGHT NOW, everything is up.

We keep hearing that; but, we have yet to see it. That's called a disconnect.. when your rhetoric and reality don't match up. That's when we start making judgements for ourselves about why we're being lied to. If you tell me niagra falls has stopped falling, I'd expect to be able to see that for myself. If it's still fallin while you say it isn't, I'm not going to proclaim it isn't to belie the facts. I'm going to say it is and that you're a liar and a con man.

I see it. You don't see it because you chose not too. I've lived through recessions, I've lived through boom times, one walk through the mall can tell me which we're in. I walk through the mall now and I see lots of merchandise, the merchandise is clean which indicates it hasn't been on the shelf for a long time, there aren't a lot of sale signs out which would indicate the store is desperate for some cash, there aren't a lot of empty store fronts, and people are walking around with full bags indicating they're spending money. The reality IS my rhetoric, every financial indicator that matters is UP and the behavior of the American people is the behavior of people in a boom economy.

If YOU chose to read nothing but bad news that's YOUR problem. There will always be bad news, there's no economy that's completely bad news proof, no economy so booming that no business do poorly. But the bad news by itself never tells the whole story. Open your eyes and look at what is REALLY happening, you'll find that all of your paranoid fantasies are wholy unfounded. You are simply wrong, as your ilk always is, and with a little help from God always will be.

But I don't expect you to EVER be man enough to admit you're wrong, your ilk never is.
