I suggest you go back and re-read the article if you can stand to, it's so poorly written. Be that as it may, it starts off with how bad unemployment is, then says, well, the numbers aren't bad, but.....

Then, it goes on to the stock market with more lies.

Then, the article touches on deflation. Give me a break. There isn't any deflation, but he gives examples and they are bogus.

Then he has the example of houses sitting empty and nobody will buy them because they can't be insured until they're fixed up. Huh?

The author is deranged. Believe this crap if you wish.

Im happy to announce I will be closing on my first home the day after tomorrow. While I dont buy into the Chicken Little aspect of the article, Im worried. Not so much for the economy, but the Dems reaction to it. Despite the fact that no one man is responsible for a boom or a bust economy, they will see to it the W gets the blame....just like they give credit to the creature Clinton for the economy during his occupation.

Well let's see we have two of the major icons of the airline industry just about ready to go down the tubes, budget and trade deficits are stratospheric, debt at the personal/ coporate/ gov't. levels are at all time highs, the fedgov owes Social Security over 25 TRILLION $ to pay for all the borrwoing it's done to mask earlier deficits, whole industries like telecom have been in a virtual meltdown (and I know that for a fact because I sell to that industry) yet according to you anyone who tries to tell the public fools that we have major problems is full of crap. Someone's full of crap all right and it's not the author.
