The economy is not doing very well, I see.
The economy shed 63,000 jobs in February, the government said on Friday,
the fastest falloff in five years and the strongest evidence yet that the
nation is headed toward - or may already be in - a recession.
President Bush acknowledged on Friday afternoon that it is "clear our
economy has slowed." But he said he was confident that the recently
enacted
stimulus package, which will soon put checks in the mail for millions of
Americans, would indeed be the "booster shot" the economy needs.
I watch Kudlow occasionally and a few months ago he could care less about
how the dollar was doing. Now, he's yelling that it's all about the
dollar.
The ecoomy will hurt McCranky more than anything else.
Bush on 10/04 : I love the fact that more and more people are opening up
the front door of their home and: Welcome to my piece of property, welcome
to my home."
Too bad those homes are being boarded up and Repo man'd.

I remember my grandparents lecturing me about the Great Depression and how
I
could never know how horrible it really was for most Americans living on
the
edge. I think I may find out soon.
So I'm listening to some right-wing radio station. The host is doing
'man-on-the-street' interviews, asking people who they sup****t for pres.
Whenever he gets someone who is for a Dem, he spouts in with:
Do you know that if the Dems let Bush's tax cuts expire, you could pay up
to
$2000 a year more in taxes, for a family of 4 with an income of $50k to
$100k a year?
First of all I don't even know if that is true, but lets say its. I wish I
could have been on the phone with this jackass, my answer would have been:
Well, you know I love my country, and would be happy to pay $2000 a year
if
it meant getting a president who could fix the economy, cause I think that
between the gas prices, stagnant raises and increasing inflation, I just
might make out better off on the deal. Not to mention anyone who would
vote
for someone to 'save' $2000 is a lowly crappy American anyway.
