“Now that liberals are seeing their own 401Ks and wealth evaporate under Obama and the Democrats, they suddently want “something done.”
I’ve been saying the same thing for 20 years: The only time a liberal gives a rat’s ass about the reality of the damage their policies cause is when it affects them personally. Then, if the impact upon them is severe enough, they become conservatives overnight. Take away their privelidge, wealth and lively-hood in the name of progressive ideals and they scream, bitch and moan to high heaven about “how unfair it is.”
The issue here is that everyone loses in a recession....doesn’t matter what political persuasion you are....you lose.
The truth of the 2008 recession “ending”. For economists, they will all say that there was an end about fifteen months into this. But this really wasn’t a regular-type recession. The housing market is a billion-ton anchor on the economy and has never rebounded in any fashion. Various areas of the US are stuck in unemployment...and not recovering. So whatever concept we had of past recessions...does not apply to the current situation. I’d even start to call it an “Obamcession” because it is a very unique circumstance.
