It sure has gotten worse and looking to get a whole lot worse.
When did you become a doomer?
Would love to ask all the formerly employed blue collar guys who I use to hear tell each other in line at the convenience store last Oct, "F---Bush and McCain it cannot get any worse" if they are better off this Oct then they were a year ago.
This economy should have crashed in 2000, but the heavy hand of government propped this house of cards up for 8 years by pumping money into the housing sector. When I hear my blue collar associates say "F" Bush and McCain I can understand their sentiment. Bush's big government policies led straight to this financial collapse and McCain would have added his liberal touch to it also. The only silver lining is watching Obama tip his hand and force through massive socialist policies that wont work. Maybe the Republican party can get it together but watching the old guard going to Pawlenty as the next Republican contender to confront Obama doesn't bode well. Pawlenty swung to the McCain -- Schwarzeneggerr Axis and spouts their mantras and enacts their policies. I guess that is politics, though.
It sure has gotten worse and looking to get a whole lot worse.

I heard that business about how we couldn’t possibly do worse than Bush countless times. I told some who said it that regardless of who won the election within two years we would wish we had him back and 2008 would look like the good old days. They thought I was crazy then, I wonder how they view the situation now.
