True current policies from DC - though not from the Fed which has been fine throughout - are dumb, raising taxes and huge new middle class entitlements should not be enacted (period), and especially not at the bottom of a deep recession. But politics isn't in charge of the economy, and economics is an objective discipline that looks at the real world, and not a plaything of ideologies and spin machines. And the economy will recover, we already know it will because we know how it actually operates, and it doesn't operate according to your doom mongers ideological prescriptions.
And yes I will admit that I was wrong about this next year if the economy is not growing then. But I won't be wrong, it will be growing. I know it not because of political anything or spin anything, but because I am objective and I see the facts, and admit them. You do not see them because you see only what your ideology authorizes you to see.
When next year you notice and remember that I was right and your ideology mislead you, drop the scales from your eyes. Objective truth is not in an ideological box. You can't determine economic fact ready 80 year old books, you have to look at the real world today.
Friendly fire, here. What do you see driving GDP? Exports? Consumers? Business spending? (Please don't say green jobs or you will have instantly destroyed your excellent reputation as a guy who actually knows something about economics). I'm struggling to see a growth engine. And, this recent increase in minimum wage law is going to exacerbate the unemployment problem as more small businesses give up or lay off. Thanks!
