I honestly can't understand why the economy is supposedly bad. What are the reasons? And I don't believe for a second that a bunch of people defaulting on some home loans drove the entire nation into a recession. I think the only reason the economy is what we believe it is, is because too many people believe the rubbish being reported by the media. The media is reporting that the economy is in the toilet and this gives the Obama administration justificationto pass these idiotic stimulus bills that are basically huge pay-off's for all the people that helped Obama get elected. It's just stupid and there's plenty more to come. It will be incredible how much inflation will increase if the Lib's actually get their way with this bill...
