There is not a recession. Words have meanings, and if you redefine recession to be “I’m unhappy”, then there is no word to describe a real recession.
The economy doesn’t suck. Here in Tucson, unemployment has just edged up to 4%. Housing prices are about what they were 3 years ago. You can rent an 800 sq ft apartment for $650. Gas is going up - no shock there, since we’ve restricted production for 30 years. Taxes do not need to increase - try voting republican, if you can find a real one.
McCain is pandering to people like you, who care more about someone feeling your pain than solutions. It doesn’t help.

Yippee. OK, everyone, let’s move to Tucson.
Glad Tuscon's in better shape. Around here, I expect unemployment to hit 10%+ with GM and Ford about to go bankrupt and an idiot governor who I voted against every single time she was up for election.
