This can't be right! I thought the MSM had just put out a poll showing that we are entering another Great Depression.

Obviously if Americans bought all the doom and gloom and economic negativity being fed to them by the MSM, they would have NEVER re-elected Bush.
--and here I've been thinking all this time that the general consensus on the economy was negative. Go figure.
I have an in-law who calls the recession of 1982 the depression of 1982. Of coarse there's no reason for him to blame Carter for handing this to Reagan. Because we all know hard times hit cause Reagan simply sat down in the oval office.
I can remember when the 2000 election was being recounted over and over. I had other in-laws then that were watching the News with me, and one of them pointed to the stock ticker as it was going down (for weeks it dropped) and said, "Look even they know he's going to be President and it's going to screw things up."
To hear this while Clinton was still in office (issuing pardons) was just beyond stupid. This moron didn't know that the economy had dropped 8% at the first quarter of 2000, and kept falling. what we were witnessing was the stock market bubble bursting. It makes me sick--all of it.
Tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%. Egads, it worked. </S>
