Only the economically ignorant are “worried about a recession”; it’s just more Dem defeatist propaganda.
What’s bad for America is good for the Dems.

Save America; boycott the MSM.

Davinski,

I’ll have to second R108’s thoughts on that pending recession.  In fact, I’d be very much interested to know where you get the idea that the US economy is heading into recession, what leading indicators point to a coming recession, and perhaps in which 2 or more consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth you’re predicting this to occur.

Care to enlighten the rest of us with your knowledge of economic forecasting?

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

“The Republicans have kind of lost touch with reality.”

I serioualy doubt that this is true but if it was, as your statement implies the Republicans had a reality from with to lose touch whereas the Democrats have never had a grasp on reality.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

The last reported quarter grew at Four percent, which ain’t exactly a recession.

Hold on there. 

Dimocrat math doesn’t count from zero when R’s are at the front of the class.  Dims would likely argue that in order to have 0% unemployment and a safe level of personal debt, the GDP would have to grow 6% instead of the 4% we realized. Therefore, we actually realized a -2% growth.

Aaaah!  So that’s why increasing increasing federal social spending by only 6% instead of 9% constitutes a “cut” that would starve poor children by depriving them of their taxpayer-funded school lunches and threaten seniors on Medi-Care with extinction.

No wonder Democrats can’t get economic and tax policy right.  For starters, they can’t count.  Probably the same arithmetic that Democrats try to use on election day.

R108,

With today’s 50 basis points cut and another 25 or more before year end, I ain’t seein’ no recession.  Furthermore most banks have cut their Prime Rate today from 8.25 to 7.75 as well.  Finally, Lehman took a $800 million charge for mortgage losses and STILL reported earning nearly 8% over consensus estimates.

We may not be done with the housing/mortgage/credit crunch, but whether the media likes it or not, the worst appears to be behind us.  Recession?  I don’t think so!

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

How weak. You find one single issue voter and then somehow extrapolate that to “Angry Colorado Republicans”.

Is that the best you got? Go back to the drawing board and take that Washington Post writer with you.
