For the first time in three years there is actually
some positive news
about the economy. Its been so long I'm not sure the right wing business
news community quite knows how to deal with good news that they don’t
have to make up or lie about.
So there it is, the headlines scream it everywhere.. The economy is back!
Pardon me for thinking here, but my first question is .. if the economy
is going backward isn't that a bad thing?
Well, what they are trying to say is the economy is 'back' to like it
was in the old days, back when Bill Clinton was in charge.
Actually its nowhere near what it was like under Clinton, but heck, you
can't really blame them for getting excited, they just got the first bit
of good news in the three long terrible years Bush has been in charge
of the economy.
While in reality we are no where near 'back' .. it is a sliver of hope,
and a very fine sliver at that. Sorry, but I don’t invest, buy a house,
or make a living off slivers of hope.
And here is another hard dose of reality.. For the last 75 years every
American recession was started by a Republican president and corrected
by a Democratic president.
I think that bears repeating, especially for my conservative friends
having a hard time dealing with a bad case of denial..
FACT-
- For the last 75 years every American recession was started by a
Republican president and corrected by a Democratic president.
And as we struggle through the second Bush recession, isn't it strange
to hear business writers and even political pundits, go on and on
celebrating going 'backwards'. Strange times indeed.
While we may have one quarter that is 'back' to about half what Clinton
had.. I have an even better idea...
Why don’t we get another economically responsible Democrat as president
and not just go 'back' to as good as it was before ... But go FORWARD,
to an even BETTER economy!
Imagine that!
Actually you don’t have to imagine it, there is a 75 year record of proof,
just vote for the Democrat and another great economy will be a reality!
It really is that easy.
