I agree with you on that. I know many people today who have never had it better. However, please note that this is a conservative forum. Posters generally have no agenda in spouting off negatively about the economy more or less under Republican stewardship. In fact, with the election coming up, they have every reason to talk up the economy. But that’s not what I’m seeing day after day on these threads, which leads me to believe something’s seriously wrong.
Secondly, I personally think the deficit and debt chickens are coming home to roost. I don’t believe they’re here yet, but definitely on the horizon.
There are some posters that continually post nothing but negative articles on FR. They have done so for years. I see it day after day, so it is hard to tell if something is seriously wrong or not.
I have no shortage of negative news available. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, NYT have it covered quite well.
