"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I explained the how/why we were NOT in a recession.
I outlined GDP, I outlined CPI, I told her of the % growth. I then asked her why anyone, including ECONOMIC MEDIA TALKING and TAPPING HEADS wanted there to be "a recession"... She said.. it's like a run on a bank, they want.
The doom and gloomers have been frightening the public with FALSE information, employers tighten their belts against hiring new employees - not because they can't -- but because they "fear". This freezes growth, it freezes cash, puts more people on the rolls for unemployment, etc.
As St. James in the New Testament has said: Many forest fires have been lit by the wagging of foolish tongues. (paraphrased).
And so it came to pass.
