      Maybe I was out of line calling you an idiot, but it is quite a fool thing to say that the economy is not as bad as it seems, when you have the unemployment at an all time high, when our companies/country owe China over 3 trillion, and a large and well established investment company goes under to the tune of 39 billion in cost to the tax payers. what do you need an anvil to fall on your head to know that the economy is bad. Yesterday the feds report a 4.2% downturn not growth...which indicates we are at the brink of a recession! Hence me calling you an idiot, what i should have said is you were ill informed if you think what you are saying to be true!

        I just placed an AD for a $10 and hour job and i got reply from over 200 college grads with 20 masters and 3 PHD's in the mix don't you tell me about a damn good economy. 2 Days ago i tried to get in touch with an American company station in TX and some Indian had me on hold for 45 min, then told me that if i knew anyone at the company i would have the number to call and I am a business customer of of that company...well i was. call my company and you will get American Help! I am not against the rest of the world but charity begins at home.

        Shh, stay away from reality...the Bush bashers never go there.
        We also aren't in a recession either, just a slump. A recession is negative economic growth, we haven't had that. We have had just very limited growth.

        Those links would! Here is the trick Mr. ILL INFORMED. It's a lie. The unemployment roll is counted based on those collecting Unemployment not those who has fallen off and are unable to find jobs. Add that in and you have a colossal unemployment mess! Please do something other than go to GOP sites or listen to fox THEY LIE! They have been doing that for yearssssssss! I will say this, I am a LIB but I would be the first to vote for a Republican if I thought he/she would be good for my country, because to me that comes first my country. And for one to just look at this economy where bush himself agreed that it was in a mess, and the Feds concurred that we are in trouble, Japan is feeling it, all of Europe is too.

    I have a question for you Newbie - Why did Bear, Stearns go under and why is our government that you think shouldn't do anything for the people spending 39 Billion of the money it took from those people to bale them out. I listen to you guys on the right and I wonder if you just talk because you can? If so, you should have had my Grandmother in your life she would have slap the silly out of you! This happened before with (Kidder Pee Body) under the first bush when we had the market crash in the late 1980's early 1990's.

        Too often there comes a time on this board when certain people just can't find a way to properly defend thier point of view, so they resort to personal attacks and the always popular, "Yeah, but what about Iraq and Bush". Do they ever wonder what they must look like to the rest of us who read thier thought processes?
        So, to answer any objection, just start ranting about Iraq and Bush.
        Newbie, I too can see the sluggishness of the economy. But I also can see that there aren't too many people lined up at the soup kitchens. Our economy is slow, not reversing. Therefore, we are NOT in a recession. The problem lies in that too many feel as though they are to be guaranteed a new Mercedes every two years and a Mcmansion and 4 weeks holiday. If they don't get it, they blame the government.
        Show me in any government document that states that we are guaranteed prosperity?

        I think I said "which indicates we are at the brink of a recession" I don't see how you get "we are in a recession" from the above! No one is suggesting that we are guaranteed prosperity, but we should expect our government to do a better job at providing a decent economy, the DEMS seems to know how to get that done, check your history. I think you should read Newbie's post that started all of this before jumping into this pot. Newbie can act above the fray but a snake is a snake and as for the downturn please do some research before disputing things you have no knowledge about! This government is CRAP one would have to be devoid of a brain to think otherwise.

        Nothing I have seen from you on this thread indicates that you are anything but a GOPer. and "you guys" indicate the right of the country that subscribe to your thought processes. Thr granny thing is way too adult for you that's why you didn't get it!

  "It's like the global warming crap, repeat something long enough (true or not) and people will blindly believe it."
  Why, I couldn't have said it better myself! your comment very much proves my point. The only people who refer to the dynamic as "global warming", are the dittoheads of Limbaugh notoriety, and the Fox followers. NO ONE with any understanding of the science involved, refers to it as "global warming". Anyone with any understanding of the dynamics involved, knows that "global warming" is just ONE possible EFFECT of the cause, which is a shifting heat balance in the earth's atmosphere. There are a few equilibrium points where the environment could stabilize, no one knows 100%. Meanwhile, the ice is melting.
  Google "Temperature" and "Heat". You will see that they are NOT the same thing.
