The last thing we need is panic.. we must only say positive things about the economy and about confidence that our ability to keep it growing.

Yes, seems our Government has their lie coordinated....

Nancy said the President is doing Great :)

    well ... that is what happens when you base your economy on consumer spending ... you need people to keep consuming otherwise collapse ... so - keep massaging the statistics and all should be ok ...

    and what would you say if you were president? and what would you do about our economic problems?



    I think I'll listen to the crickets for awhile.

    Agreed,

    This makes me think of Nixon.
    "Well Bob, what do you think the president can do to restore faith in the office and get the American people behind him again?"

    "He can't. Just fucking resign already."

    Seriously.
    Not to be Debbie-Downer but "the fix" is nowhere to be found.

    :(
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    The lifestyle is not sustainable. Everyone is in denial. As soon as people figure this out everything will start to improve (ever so slightly) perhaps no so slightly.

    Perhaps a lot. Have to get to the bridge to cross it first. Regardless. unless a substitute for oil is found, or a gigantic new source is found to exploit (hmmm Iran)....some uncomfortable realities will set in.

    Better Iranians die than a few US citizens be deprived I suppose .... :ouch!:
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    what would you base the economy on?
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    it didn't disappear..... The owners just shopped around.

    Americans priced themselves out of the market.

    Same reason I don't go to starbucks to buy 4.00 coffee.

    We did this to ourselves essentially.
