The Rats took over Q1 2007. As a whole, the economy has been tanking for years. Bubbles was[is] the only thing keeping it up.
Its hilarious seeing the media shouting how great our economy is and how it guarantees OBama a second term. This is based off of one good jobs report which is a complete lie. No new net jobs were created last month, and we will see the actual unemployment rate jump .3 or .4% next week. About the same time as prices will hit 4 dollars for most of the country.
