These parts: "...the banking system collapsed into the toilet, and Bush, Bernanke and Paulson are pretty much saying were in a recession."
Sure, this is what we're getting from the lying Democrat press, but they'll say anything to get Hillary elected. Those of us working for a living are still using the banking system same as before, and by checking the actual statements Bush, Bernanke and Paulson are making --not Hillary's rewrites-- they're constantly saying that we're not in a recession.
Sorry to be the bearer of good news, I understand how much you were counting on a US economic collapse.
