You miss so much when you don't have a television. I'd never seen any of those public statements by either Paulson, Bernanke or GW.

So you have either two options, I suppose.

Willfull ignorance or something more sinister. It's just a conspiracy theory, mind you...but what's the easiest way for the 1% who own 90% of the wealth in this country to be able to own 95% of it?

Either way...the people haven't had our best interests at heart for a long time. Neither does Obama or McCain. Obama may have come into the race with his integrity intact, but he's given in to the Israel Lobby and the Corporate Interests.

President Bush: 'The economy is strong.

Watch this drive.

The government is out with more bad economic news this morning: The job market began to deteriorate even before the financial crisis reached a more serious stage two weeks ago.

Employers cut 159,000 jobs in September, more than twice as many as in August or July, the Labor Department reported. It was the biggest decline since 2003, when the economy was still losing jobs in the wake of the 2001 recession.

Economists had been expecting a loss of about 100,000 jobs in September.

The new number was especially worrisome because the government conducted its survey during the week of Sept. 8, before the credit crisis took a new turn for the worse on Sept. 17.

Socialize the dept, privatize the profits.

Either they are gonna stop or the revolution will commence. Don't worry, Axiom, the revolution will not be televised.

Fight the power that grinds you under it's heel!!!!!

Incurious George.

I kept asking financial people I know -- "Why do things just feel so shaky with the markets and the economy when the numbers on porduction, jobs, growth and inflation are so relatively rosy."

You would think that a curious President would be asking the same question, but to people who could really give him a relatively accurate answer. But apparently he wasn't curious enough or in touch enough to ask the same question.

(Btw, nearly every source I checked with, except Dr. Noriel Roubini, Marty Weiss, and a friend who had to lay off his entire department at Lehman after New Year's dismissed all concerns about the economy. And these were people who live by the financial markets! Some of them are still optimistic, but some of them are out of a job!)

I didn't vote for the idiot's daddy, either.

he didn't say the economy was strong, he said it was a schlong, meaning it was gonna rape us.

i feel so dirty.

Don't worry.
Be happy.
