Soo... the world news says...?

.. we are in a recession! general electric reported a 6% drop... is this enough to convince the republicans that we are at least close to recession, if not IN one right now?

and please dont accuse me of being a lib who just loves bad news.. i wouldn even consider myself completely liberal at all...and i HATE that we are in a recession as me and my hubby are small business owners... we have a fireplace business where we do sales and every service for fireplaces... and no one is building.. when no one is building a home.. no one needs a fireplace... about 60% of our sales come from new homes... so please dont accuse me of being a lover of bad news like the republicans tried to suggest the last time i posted a question like this... and how many of you believed tyrant goerge w when he confidently said, "WE ARE NOT HEADED TOWARDS A RECESSION!" he knew we were/are.. why cant he EVER tell the truth??

xiphos: yes, if our business goes under, george bush will be partly to blame.... he is to blame for the ridiculous price of oil and the price of everything else goin up.. i know he isnt the only one responsible, but he plays a big part... invading acountry we should have stayed out of was HIS FAULT! i cant wait until ppl see bush for the lying greedy, evil and corrupt demon he is... but i dont think his supporters will ever see that no matter what he does... if they havnt seen it by now, there is no hope for them.

George would never admit to a recession, that might reflect on his domestic economic policies.

But let's be fair. The GOP has been very busy trying to find ways to convince loyal Republican voters that this is Bill Clinton's fault. They can't be bothered with facts and reality right now, that might hinder their argument in the push to get liberals to consider McCain.

Just wait until the new economic numbers come out (which they will soon for the last quarter).

The numbers will finally prove to all the doubters that the economy is in deep sh!t and not looking good.

two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, that it the indicator of a recession, we were in one in 2000, but panic if it makes you feel better, it is all just the natural cycle of economics, but if you think CHANGE and HOPE are the answer then watch 60% of your income go to taxes. I will vote to ride out the storm and like America always does, we will level out again.

Recession, maybe? The economy has cycles, like the earth's climate. Good times and bad times are inevitable and cyclical.

What can we do? Practice the following spiritual principles. Save for a rainy day. Don't borrow money frivolously. Live within our means.

In other words, do the opposite of what the federal government is doing.

Bush Derangement Syndrome is curable. I suppose if your business fails it will be his fault as well.
