Whether there is a fragile recovery, or none at all, is a matter of interpretation. The real lie is this idea that they "may be close to reaching a deal". They aren't. There is no deal. You can tell that by the way the dems are drawing up the battleground for the upcoming "blame game" next year. The socialists game plan will be to equate "lack of deal" to "economic collapse", and make out it is the evil greedy intransigent republicans who are to blame for not being prepared to compromise to get a deal and thereby causing the crash. In fact there is going to be a crash anyway, due to their own faulty economic policies over the past four years, but Joe Public has a short memory. It's going to be frighteningly easy to blame the GOP for the upcoming economic gloom. The way is being prepped by the MSM now.
no white guys, the kind who wrote the Constitution, the kind who fought the Revolutionary War, Civil War, the kind who fought WW1 and WW2 and all the rest, hmmmmmmmm

How was after Christmas shopping? Dinner Wednesday was very very uncrowded. Seemed like people are all tapped out.

You forgot the famous exhortation? "Our time has come!"
That looks about right for Obama's America...

Except for a bit of a wait getting into PF Chang, seems like the malls themselves weren’t particularly busy and few people were carrying bags.
I’m thinking everyone held off.
I guess so. All of them lard-butts. Does this tell us something?
