Already six to nine months into the recession, government leaders are still telling us that it is just a period of slow growth, a pit stop in this economic race that we'll eventually win, so worry not, my friend. That explains to us what "garbage numbers" government is using to rose-color the state of the economy in terms of growth, unemployment and inflation. We are probably the most lied-to people by their government on the planet, at least among presumably developed and educated nations.

    Here's what Ron Paul had to say about this insane inflation policy in a recent article:

    "Every dollar created and spent by government makes the dollars in your pocket worth less and less. Eventually any currency controlled by government will be debased to worthlessness, and will wipe out the savings of the citizens who put faith in that currency."

    And to think that there are a few who actually like the Bush economy. To think that there are a few who support the Bush-McCain policy of:
    --Passing on massive debt to the next generation
    --GREATLY reducing the value of the dollar via massive printing of new money
    --Gifts to the Ultra-rich
    --SPEND SPEND SPEND

      Let the finger pointing begin!...Wasn't it Greenspan who warned us about the dot com bubble and our current situation?
      He may have been PART of the problem but I don't think we can paint hium as the Darth Vader of our current tragedy

        Greenspan, Bush, McInsane and the rest of the Repukes and Cons have been listening to the old Conway Twitty song from the early 60's:

        "It's Only Make Believe."

        I don't know if anyone agrees. It's hard to tell since my posts just disappear.

        I posted an article the DAY PROPELLER CHANGED on David Cay Johnston's
        book, "Free Lunch". Needless to say I think I was the only person who read
        it or voted - frankly, I didn't know how to Share the Story on that fateful day!
        You do not have to be an economist to understand where SEVERAL administrations have been leading us. On page 49 he discusses a predicted migration, in just the next 10 to 20 years, of 40 MILLION American jobs overseas. The estimate was made by Alan Blinder - Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve under - ta-dum! - Alan Greenspan! He proclaims himself a "free trader down to my toes". Blinder also acknowledges, "If you look backward you see low-skill, drudgery work like call centers. If you look forward you see a lot of professional work like accountancy" going overseas.
