wade said:The fact is the economy is in horrible shape. No one is really denying this. Top financial experts are bearish on America for at least the next several years! The jobs levels are bad, and the figures are skewed by the method of measurement to look better than they are (most who have been unemployed for more than 6 months are not considered unemployed).
In the private sector jobs have been lost, not gained, over the last year. Not only that, but things are worse than the figures show because high paying skilled labor jobs with quality benifit packages are being replaced with low paying retail service jobs with almost no benifts. And all the new job creation in the last year has been in the public sector. For the first time since WWII, the skilled and educated are having just as hard a time finding work as the unskilled and poorly educated. The whole "re-educate and retrain" theory is being proven wrong.
Where do you get your information? From the DNC website? You are SO full of shit.
I just had a luncheon yesterday with our business banker and about 20 other business owners. ALL the talk is positive. Now is the time to get into the stock market. Prices are low, the economy is looking good, etc.
You forget that the BULK of the jobs lost at the BEGINNING of the Bush admin were due to companies like Enron, Worldcomm, etc. that hired employees in the 90's that they NEVER needed and NEVER could afford (hence the BK of Worldcomm, Enron, Global-Xing, etc.).
You just spout shit without understanding what you are saying. The economy is good. Is it shakey? Yes and as long as there is terrorism in the world, it will be. No matter WHO is president.
I would like to know where you get your economic data, cuz it does not at all jive with the experts.
Provide a link to a legit source supporting your assertations.
