There are always periods of expansion and contraction called the ‘business cycle’. No matter how many politicians pay lip service to an ‘economic crisis’, there is little or anything they can do to change the business cycle.
A financial crisis alone usually isn’t enough to bring on a recession or a contraction in the cycle. The Democrats not being in power during an election year is a much better catalyst.
The economy runs on trust between individuals, businesses and financial institutions. The Democrats and their Fifth Column, the media, are more than willing to take actions to magnify and embellish any legitimate mistrust in order to gain power. Once the trust is broken and consumer confidence shaken, it all too often becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.
Understand, the pendulum has shifted against us to the other side. You even hear Republicans asking, “What is the Government going to do about the current crisis?”. NYC Pub, frankly and honestly, McCain doesn’t have enough sense to shut his trap. I don’t think there is a way that a Marxist like Obama can win a General Election, yet, McCain will do all he can to test that theory.
Exactly. See my tagline, concurs with the latter part of your post.
