Heh. It's funny to me that you would lump me in with the doom and gloomers

A "doom and gloomer" is now a generalized slam at anyone who dares question, criticize or makes a negative comment about problems in the economy, finance, jobs, etc. There is an obvious effort going on at promoting group think. I know that you aren't a doom and gloomer but that is the label you are going to be stuck with unless you either keep your mouth shut about your concerns or cheerlead party politics.

You must be one of those malcontents I keep seeing mentioned.

I wanna be a doom and gloomer! Is there a secret handshake or a decoder ring?

And you should know; I've seen the flack you get for expressing concerns about certain economic matters.

As withany loyal bushbot, I normally don't agree with your takes, but I always wonder at the ferocity
of some of your detractors.

Apparantly! Kinda like the groupthink that emerged for a while there, whereinwhich any criticism of GW Bush's policies labeled a person as a DNC plant.

Heck, I've given you a fair amount of s**t on what I perceive is excessive negativity about the economy. Kinda odd that I'm lumped into a category with you for expressing what I believe are geniune and realistic concerns about the options for employment in America in the next decade.

Makes me wonder if you were really wrong after all.
