		<description>Chuckk, I agree with your point, but also think that there is something unique about this recession.

Obamy&#039;s handlers brought it on deliberately to get him elected.

Prior to September 2008, the housing/mortgage crisis had been &quot;happening&quot; for at least 10 months.  As late as July 2008 Henry Paulsen proudly declared that all was well with the economy, which was true.  GNP was normal, employment was at historic norms, corporate profits were good, consumption was good, credit was available, etc.etc. etc.  Inflation was a bit high because of the price of oil, and people were certainly aware of the issue with mortgages.  But like I said, that had been well known for at least 10 months.

And then, all of a sudden, after McCain took the lead in the polls for the first time, there was a savage raid on Lehman Bros, followed in a few days by some kind of money market run September 18 that caused Paulsen and Bernake, two lifelong Democrats, to rush into Dubya&#039;s office and declare the end of civilization was nigh.  And that isn&#039;t an exageration in any sense.

In quick succession, you then saw TARP, the election of a Marxist, and the demise of a free country.

All according to plan.

And oh, just as a side note, George Soros was convicted in Hungary of Securites fraud for his activities at that time.

And oh, just as an other side note, Goldman Sacks, Paulsen&#039;s ex-employer, made billions during the &quot;crisis&quot;.

And oh, just as a third side note, millions of boomers lost 50% of their life savings in the &quot;crisis&quot;, which makes them prime candidates to apprecieate the benovolence of Universal Health Care.  And of course, the banks &quot;had&quot; to be taken over by the government to save the credit markets.  And of course, GM and Chrylser &quot;had&quot; to be taken over by the government to save the auto industry.  And of course, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Mortgage industry &quot;had&quot; to be taken over by the government to save the mortgage industry.  And of course, Student Loans &quot;had&quot; to be taken over by the government to save that industry.  And of course, we needed a trillion dollar stimulaus that just happens to funnel 1/12 of the GDP to Obamy&#039;s political backers.  And of course, Health Care &quot;had&#039; to be taken over by the government to save the country.

Other than that, and marxists running the government, the recession is normal.</description>

		<description>Back last Spring, the boy said he &quot;denies business cycles&quot; as in, he didn&#039;t believe they existed.  No further explanation was given.   One is left to think that either he felt business cycles were a false assumption or, far more likely, he hated them and wanted to rid the world of their evil influence.  Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he wished &quot;business cycles&quot; into the cornfield. 

My new name for Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm)?  


&quot;Dr Evil&quot;

&quot;100 BIllion dollars&quot;

		<description>Why isn&#039;t this recession like all previous recessions? Business/industry/banking over-expands during good times. The bubble bursts and a recession begins while supply and demand get back into proper balance. But that won&#039;t happen this time. 

I guess the Obama administration has replealed the laws of economics.</description>

		<description>FDR got over 20% unemployment, but they measured everybody back then, not just people still on the unemployment roles.

The equivalent now is 16.7%.  That number has been published.

But that number is actually low, since it doesn&#039;t count people who have never been on the unemployment roles, like people who were self-employed before losing their business, and seniors or mothers who now need to work but did not need to work before the Moron engineered the economic crisis.  It also doesn&#039;t count the 3 million or so workers who have entered the work force since the crisis was created.

Add all that in, and the Moron is probably over 20% already!!

And the boy wonder is only beginning his 10th month on the job.

But of course, he is living quite well himself, thank you very much.</description>

		<description>Be a good little proletariat and accept what your overlords have decreed.  You think you know better but you are sadly mistaken.  The O has spoken and it shall ever be so.  I DON&quot;T THINK SO!!!</description>

		<description>Obama has always portrayed himself as the next FDR - and he has a point.  FDR made 10%+ unemployment the new norm for nearly a decade with his raw deal government intervention in the private sector.

Barry is actually one-upping FDR.  He has grabbed control of 30% of the private sector and climbing.  I have no reason to doubt he has succeeded in moving the bar up on unemployment.  What private sector business will be remaining to hire anyone?</description>

		<description>I guess actually believing what you write for print isn&#039;t completely necessary over at the AP (or for that matter, in most of MSM). 

Either that, or Mr Tom Raum, Associated Press Writer, is a complete ignoramus (as well as those who hired him and buy into this bilge).</description>

		<description>This is an important article.

It&#039;s clarifies that there is no depth to which the msm won&#039;t stoop.

For those of you who held out some hope that the msm had ethics buried somewhere deep within their souls, this is clear proof that you shouldn&#039;t waste anymore emotional energy on that one.

But your know, there is always hope about something.

For example, maybe O&#039;Reilly is correct in his idea that the real reason Obamy is mad at Fox is because the child dictator hates being associated with radicals and Fox is finding them instead of little Obamy rooting them out himself.</description>

		<description>Under the Obama administrations socialism plan this is correct.  Unemployment will be the norm....until all doctors, lawyers, scientists are given a broom and their new job.  Everyone will be making the same wage with 60% or more in taxes paid to the government (redistribution of wealth) and all taxpayers will be on some type of entitlement program from the central government to influence their future votes.  Kid Mao has it all down pat except for one thing....in 3 years he&#039;s out of office and the republicans will be in charge getting this mess cleaned up.</description>
