I really don’t believe the Depression hype.

I went to a mall here in town that 20 years ago was a dump. At noon on a Thursday it took me half an hour to park. People were parked in the grass and up on curbs.

Holiday sales seem to be up and people seem to be buying obscenely expensive stuff. After Thanksgiving sales were up 7% from last year.

Dems just want to trash this economy to the max so Obama can get the maximum rebound.

I'm honestly curious: Do you really think that the current economic chaos is all made up because a mall was busy? Addicts get their fixes any way they can before they hit the bottom. Likely a high percentage of the shoppers you see will default on their credit cards in the coming new year.

Twp years of Democrats' screaming "The worst economy in history" eroded consumer confidence and caused business to become scared and clam up. They did this to win the election, and it worked.
