CB1,
Gallup polls are saying that 87% of Americans think the economy if getting worse. lol
The facts are:
With everything thrown at our economy - subprime housing collapse, subsequent credit crunch, skyrocketing oil prices and record fuel costs at the pump - it is still holding up much better than in other recessions.
During Jimmy Carter's Administration the unemployment was 7.5% and inflation was 14.4%.
The national jobless rate, today, is 5.5% and in some places between 4 and 5%. Inflation is at 4.2%.
Wall Street Economists are predicting 1 to 2% growth in the second quarter and 3% in the second half of the year.
Why? Because of the small businesses and flexible labor force, as well as, believing the current rebound and the heavy investments, made globally in recent years, will pay off.
57% to 41% are in favor of drilling.
We are not doing bad. The media wants the American people to think we are.
Good morning, PO -
What you have stated above sounds great, but reality holds a much different outlook for our country! Now, I found an article by a former Assistant Secretary of the US for Ecomonic Policy who served in the Reagan Administration who exposes exactly where I country stands today....news you won't see on CNN or FOX. Check it out at http://www.informationclearinghouse....ticle18787.htm. Don't you love it that I was able to reference an article from someone who served in the Reagan administration, instead of the wacky far left liberal media?
God bless you this beautiful Sunday morning.
BTW, the joblless rate increased to 5.5% in May up fron 5.0 in April. Of course, that was a national average, but some states' jobless rates saw greater than 7% in May (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080620/...JtdXa2RV_qxQcB).

Rico - apparently people don't realize that the power that we have developed has gone a long way to keeping peace throughout the world. It is because of that power that many WOULD BE NEW HITLERS have not risen, in fear of the power of the US might......and thus keeping the peace....[/i]Obama wants to throw it away with the hopes that it will encourage other nations to follow suit. Hogwash! If they see a chink in our armor they will be on us like a hen on a junebug.
The guy is nuts, but has a huge following of people who are deceived and led astray by his fancy rhetoric.
Our strong military and our large nuclear arsenal is what kept the Soviet Empire at bay, contributed to the collapse of the USSR and Communist Eastern Europe, and has continued to keep us strong and secure to this day.
Too many people seem to not understand the concept of "peace through strength". Lack of knowledge is what's killing this country, and this dearth of knowledge and understanding is what will probably get this man Obama elected. God help America.

Glad to see there is indeed a subject that we agree on!

The problem is that strength relied on technology many of our enemies did not have. Enemies who now have that technology or are in the process of developing it.

Good afternoon, CB1! lol
The higher jobless rate is reflecting graduates. Just saying..... lol
I've bookmarked your link and will read through it. Thanks!
God bless you this fine, hot, humid and dry Sunday afternoon!
Someone needs to explain to me how making drastic cuts in the military and slowing the pace of military advancement meshes with this idiots goal of "protecting Americans."
once again Barak proposes change to failure and calls it progress.

Here's his website. I did like what he said about Obama!
Quote:
Obama has dispelled hope on the economic front, as well. Obama has appointed two leading apologists for jobs offshoring as his economic advisors—Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Rubin associate Jason Furman. These two are notorious for their justifications of policies that benefit Wall Street, CEOs and large retailers at the expense of the economic well being and careers of millions of Americans. http://www.vdare.com/roberts/080617_obama.htm
