There was a dem congress in 2006 but the economy really started going south in mid 2008 when the smarts realized that Obama would probably be elected.
They pulled back because no one knew that the worst wouldn’t happen. It did.
I expect to see a big bump in economic growth if Republicans take the House and Senate next week.

Let’s hope the magic negro does not take credit for it. You know he will...
Good point. I’ve a friend who is unemployed and has told me that he believes companies are not hiring because of DC. Companies are uncertain about the future so they are sitting on the sidelines. It may be anecdotal but he commented that the majority of responses he is getting, relating to positions he has applied for, are “the company has decided to not fill the position at this time or the vacancy has been cancelled”.
A professonal friend of mine, who works in the contract/temp/project placement business, has said the same. Companies are delaying or cancelling projects. Also companies are using temps. sparingly. She places contract/temp/project personnel at the mid to senior level in accounting.
The rat congress was elected in late ‘06, but they didn’t start until Jan. ‘07.
