Comments on: McCain Adviser Says U.S. In A "Mental Recession," Not An Actual One

I originally thought that perhaps Gramm was speaking of McSame''s apparent senility, lol.

I guess the gist of their views is that if you lose your house or your job, it''s all in your mind. The economy is just fine, we''re not going to change any of Bush''s fiscal policies. So stop your whining! Thanks, John McCain

Doesn''t Kermit the frog (aka Phil Gramm) have anything better to do than to offer weak arguments. There is alot of whining going on because things are BAD at many levels for the average American. Gramm is a wealthy man, so his family is taken care of and has all the money they need to keep themselves healthy and happy. But what about the working-class families that have to juggle energy costs against food and health care expenses when wages have been stagnant and costs keep going up?
My response to Gramm....Rrribbitt!!!

Recession means the lack of confidence in the overall economy. Thus, People are more likely to hold on to assets (both fluid and solid) and not spend, or invest as much as they might in a thriving economy. The lack of confidence in spending slows down the economy hence slowing and possibly negating growth. Two consecutive negative growth quarters in one year would reflect a recession.

Meanwhile, high earning industries (like War Contractors and Oil Companies) are reaping great benefits of a down market by purchasing low and then turning around to sell high. It%u2019s all been cooked by the Conservative free to manipulate market.

John McCain is attempting here to hypnotize his easily coddled base into believing that their money hasn%u2019t been stolen by the top 1% wealthy earners in the US and Dubai.

More NEWSPEAK.

The truth is that we were used to be in an overheated market due to false economic theories touted as fundamentals which fooled the public. That was "Mental Stimulus" AKA Bull????
Now we are experiencing backlash for all the years of falsehood. AKA ???? hits the fan.

Sen. John McCain is clearly not a fan of workers%u2019 freedom to form unions and bargain for better wages and benefits. He has spoken out against unions and consistently voted against collective bargaining rights for workers. Union members know the right to bargain is essential to preserving good jobs with good wages and benefits.
