Greene: Hickenlooper's take on recession mind-befuddling
By Susan Greene

Buck up, Colorado.
That seemed to have been John Hickenlooper's take last week when he said "a recession like this really is driven by people's mental state."
I'm no economist and certainly no shrink.
But I run across stories like Denver window installer Richard Vigil, who moved his wife and four kids into his parents' place after losing his job and health insurance last year.
I listen to Hazel Miller, a local entertainer mourning the loss of her home in Lakewood to foreclosure.
And I watch Heather Martinez standing outside a Denver car wash soliciting spare change to feed her two kids.
Are we to think their troubles are all psychological?
"Mental state? Man, I only wish this were just in my head," says Martinez, who was laid off from her job as a computer tech last winter.
Hickenlooper has stepped in it.

OK, Hickenlooper is NO Marxist, but he is Certainly a Liberal... He's also Thinking whereas Susan Greene is Emoting... And doing so in a Patently Ignorant fashion which is what she does, although she would probably NOT Acknowledge this Reality if anyone was to Confront her, nor Understand it, NO matter who was Trying to Explain it to her.
I am not going to go into why she's Wrong, I want to see what other People's Takes are on this before I go.
peace...
