It’s not having your head in the sand, and Graham was right.

The economy is not in the best of health, listening to the Dems and the MSM, though, you would think that we were in a time that made the Great Depression look like the high life. How many times in the last four years have we heard “the worst economy ever”?

The economy isn’t healthy right now. Graham is right though, we are not in a monetary recession. The average citizen IS in a mental recession from the incessant drum beat of bad news they hear from supposedly “unbiased” reporters and politicians that hunger for nothing but power.

He is also correct in that there is a large portion of this country that are nothing but whiners. They will suckle off the government teet; taking money out of my pocket in the porcess. They do nothing to fix the problems and will complain loudly and often about how hard life is for them. Then you have Liberal pols on both sides of the aisle that do ZERO to put anything into our economy, or society. All they do is take. They take our money and they take our freedoms on a daily basis. They then turn around and bitch and moan about everything under the sun from the types of light bulbs I use to the War on Radical islam.

Prices are high. If one’s family had been living within their means, the increase is a burden, but it is far from a back breaking situation. How much consumer debt does your average US citizen carry? How much savings do they have in the bank? If these people are having a hard time now, then wait until B. Hussein Obama is president. His stated economic goals will bankrupt this country and drive us into a real recession; one that I think will make the late 70s look like child’s play. Then, these people will see true hardships.
