1. As the 'market' is duly noting, discounting and weighing. :)
2. The Reality is...There will be all kinds of Pumped Up numbers to show the Recession is easing. Especially, as we come into this next Election Cycle. The MSM and the Democrats will want to paint as Rosy as a picture as they can. However, try as they may, they will not be able to keep the illusion alive as the Ship continues to Sink. Come election time, the Liberals should lose Big. If the Liberals don't, you had better start planning to dig up your yard to plant your Survival Garden the coming Spring.
3. That is a good video. Nice find, pudge.
4. My biggest lament is we had to wait 30+ years to get a mess as big as Jimmy Carter.
In spite of government intervention, the economy will recover.
Wall Street's just been having a fire sale. Buy low, sell high.
5. Interesting little factoid: if the Federal Budget was rolled back to that of 2007, we would have a $160 billion SURPLUS this year.
In just 3 years, we have gone from a $130 billion surplus to a $1.3 TRILLION deficit. A swing of $1.43 trillion dollars. And it's not from lower revenue; the revenue collected this year would give the 2007 budget levels a surplus!
It's the spending, stupid!
6. Dan, that's not possible, because Obama said that he has had nothing to do with the deficit.
7. Oh, that's right... I forgot about that! Hard to keep up with which lies are current with this Administration...
