The Absurd Report

Anyone who contemplates the vast amount of money in circulation cannot help but marvel that the economy can turn downward, but it does. It did during the closing months of the Clinton bubble spilling over to the Bush years. Now, at the end of the Bush Administration given the amount of negative economic hype being put forth by the leftist media for the past two years combined with the concerted efforts of some of America’s so-called “friends” an economic downturn has finally come to a measure of fruition.

When a large enough number of people stop buying because they are repeatedly told that “bad times” are just around the corner or these are “bad times,” retailers stop selling, distributors stop distributing, orders for goods are not made and ultimately factories stop responding because there are no orders, and so GM closes 14 plants. It has nothing to do with reality, and everything to do with perception. Get it? So, who says that the media doesn’t play a role? How the hell do you think that the Republican’s got McCain and the Democrats got Obama if the media didn’t play a role?

The vaunted “Economic Stimulus Package” contains a lot of money, but not concentrated enough to do any good. Those who need fuel for their work trucks easily spend several hundred dollars per family in a week and a half. Don’t look now; because the Democrats have raised the price of gasoline so high a large and rapidly growing number cannot afford it anymore. So, pathetic little of the stimulus money actually goes to restart a down turned economy.

In the two years that Democrats have controlled the Congress, and given its single digit approval rating, they have earned it, how anyone with more than an ounce of brains would vote for one of those anachronistic dinosaurs is stupefying. Aside from beating up on oil industry executives and threatening to “nationalize” the industry, they have done nothing, zilch, squat, zip, and zero to help those who depend on transportation in connection with their livelihood! Drilling may not be the solution but there are hundreds of proven wells that are not producing because the Democrats in Congress are standing in the way.

How do Congressional Democrats think that most people get to and from work, job site, etc.?
