Putting it this way sure put a different perspective on things!

Perhaps I'm paranoid but is it possible the economy is being manipulated to make the pubbies look bad?

You should copy right this information, since the MSM will steal it from you and use it as their lead story for a week or more.

/utterly futile hope

I just said on another thread that all of the bad eco news should be blamed on a dim congress - who will raise taxes. Of course, the DBM will try to blame W!

A vast left wing conspiracy? In January of 2001, oil was at about $25.00 per barrel. Yesterday it closed at what again? No one has been manipulating the economy since January of ‘01 except President Jorge and his Saudi Mohammedan and globalist buddies and their lackeys of both parties in Congress.

Does the Bear sh&^ live in the woods. I watched the LSM start this snowball down the hill a year ago with little innuendos about signs of a weakening economy and sure as hell that little glob of lies turned into a full blown avalanche...

Oh...Gas is $3.70 a gallon around Humboldt Bay...

A little over a year ago: 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high. 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; [high, but not as high as the $3.29/gal regular I paid today] 3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%. Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we're seen: 1) Consumer confidence drop; 2) the cost of regular gasoline over $3 a gallon; 3) Unemployment has increased is up to 5% (a 10% increase); 4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses); 5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 6)1% of American homes are in foreclosure. America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

AMEN!!! This IS cahnge for sure!!

Alan Greenspan has been all over the world beating the drum for a recession in the U.S.

Well, does a bear do his business in the woods? Is the Pope a good Catholic?

Answer those questions, and you have the answer.

What will we get for out 2008 vote?

Exactly what we deserve...and it will not be John McCain unless we deserve more of the same.

We will pay for our blind support for bad policies in this election. As far as who to blame for oil being 1.12 a gallon when Bush took office in 2000 to 3.29 a gallon today? I don't know...but the buck does not stop at Nacy Pelosis desk does it? Both major parties are equally corrupt.

The media talk started before the figures coming in to back it up.

We should have a bigger wave of homeless talk soon.

UPDATE:

 

How Are You Enjoying the Change?

March 12th, 2008 12:43 pm h/t--Texas Rainmaker

A little over a year ago:

1. Consumer confidence stood at a 5-year high;
2. Regular gasoline averaged under $2.30 a gallon;
3. The unemployment rate was down to 4.4%.
4. Americans were enjoying historically-high home equity.

Since voting in a Democrat Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1. Consumer confidence plummet;
2. The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.25 a gallon;
3. Unemployment rise to 4.8% (a 9% increase);
4. American home equity hit the lowest point in six decades;

America voted for change in 2006… and change is what we got!
