HARRISBURG, Pa. – The nation is on the "brink of a depression," but there's a "reasonable chance" that the $787 billion economic stimulus package will help ease the situation, Sen. Arlen Specter said Monday.
Specter, R-Pa., said the nation's economic situation is more dire than the public has been told, but did not elaborate.
"Our economic problems are enormously serious — more serious than is publicly disclosed. And I think we're on the brink of a depression," he told reporters at the state Capitol.

Mr. Specter was 1 of 4 senators who helped pass the $787 billion stimulus that was strong-armed through congress!

And there you have it folks. Our government voluntarily admitting they keep the public in the dark. If you think they are going to let you know in advance of a coming disaster so you can prepare, just remember this little admittance.
Note to Pennsylvania:
Please, Please, PLEASE, DO NOT let Specter win the 2010 GOP primary! Elect a solid conservative, like Pat Toomey.
Note to GOP Leadership:
Turn your backs on Specter and offer him NO support, whatsoever!!!!
Specter (along with Snowe and Collins) are traitors and don’t belong in our party!!!
"Thars a reasonable chance...say 30%, that the stimuli bill will keep us from going 100% depression."
Trying to justify backstabbing the GOP
I would say 0 chance.
He is trying to justify his Porkulus support.
Gee, thanks, BOZO!
Congress, they continue to pork us all.
The article said — “Our economic problems are enormously serious — more serious than is publicly disclosed. And I think we’re on the brink of a depression,” he told reporters at the state Capitol.

Ummmm..., that’s not true, according to many FReepers that have been posting to me that the economy is just fine and it’s just an MSM trick to make people think that there is something wrong...
Usually, I’m told this when I say that we’re in the Great Depression and that it will deepen throughout 2009 and maybe into 2010. I’m told that I’m listening to false reports in the MSM. It’s not true...
The tires on your truck are taller than you are.
Pray tell, Mr. Sphincter how billions in pork, and billions in dollars that won’t be spent for a few years is going to head off a depression. I’d like to know from which economic school this theory was derived.
Thanks for helping the economy decline with the Porkulus bill and strapping us with more debt and looming inflation.
I am soooooo embarassed sometimes to be “Pennsylvania”mom.
:p
And you’re one of the Three Stooges who voted to move it along and help the tide gain momentum. You haven’t suddenly stolen Barney Frank’s body and brain, have you?
Or this a bastard, presumptuous offshoot of the ‘magic bullet’ theory of the Kennedy assassination?
Why is this in chat?
Sorry wanted it in business and economy.
