Clueless about the economy

Does John McCain really believe that our economy is fundamentally sound? Is this guy out of his freakin’ mind? He is either too old or too stupid to be president. Umployment is down. Wages are down. The price of everything is up. The deficit is up. The national debt is up. Yeah, sounds like the economy is in great shape, John. Perhaps it is time for another tax break for those who make over $250,000 a year. We could use some of that Reagan trickledown voodoo economics about now.
Perhaps when McCain is elected, his new treasury secretary Phil Gramm will straighten all of us whiners out?
The guys seem to be clueless about the economy.

The current banking crisis (i.e., this week) is of major interest to Congress, and Congress is in session this week.

I'm a "lesser of 2 evils" voter this year. In fact, I don't trust any politician further than I can shoot 'em from a BB gun. I wish a bricklayer and a nurse would run for office--they aren't bought and paid for by the world corporations yet.

And I would write in Ron Paul if it didn't concern me that doing so would tip the balance in favor of Obama.

Not a hypocrite--just not left with much choice.

((Any economist worth his beans knows that raising taxes would be the worst thing you could do right now.))

Those beans must be gassy, because Barack raising taxes on the 250,000 incomes will not bankrupt them. And as the middle class grows with the new jobs and tax cuts, more and more people will cross that 250,000 threshold and pay more taxes. Much better than cutting taxes on the wealthy the way Bush43 did and destroyed our surplus. McCain is not as smart as Bush43 who's pretty low on the gray matter scale, and so I don't trust that McCain and Gramm will be any good for America. They have lived their lives and have nothing to lose.

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure that all of us who participate on the board are sane :)

I didn't think you were being one, I just wondered how you came to decide to vote for an adulterer afterall.

I guess I can agree with you...

Although if you look at my signature (and I don't mean the McCain/Palin endorsement), you'll see that there is certainly a basis for the argument that I'm not entirely sane myself...
