We are in a depression. The only reason the government achieves any plausible deniability with their assertions that “we are not in a depression” is by comparing the “obvious” visuals: we “don’t have bread lines” like they did in the 1930s. No. No, we don’t. Because the “bread lines” of today are concealed electronically. That guy checking out in front of you just paid for his groceries with a card. Did you get to see what kind of card? No? Roughly a third of those “guys in front of you” are paying with “food stamp” cards.
Teh won must be put out to pasture in November. Remember this sleazy guy? Axleick’s own words.
David Axelrod In 2005: Adding Three Trillion To The Deficit In Four Years Is “Madness”
The senior Obama campaign advisor, who ducked a question on having a discussion on Social Security this morning, saying “this is not the time” wanted to discuss the issue on Fox News in 2005. Axelrod also hit Bush for adding three trillion dollars to the national debt, calling it “madness” and “massive.”
“There’s a discussion to be had about Social Security….there’s a discussion to be had about the massive debt and deficit that President created. I think we ought to have that discussion.”
“Denial is saying we are conservatives. Maybe we can run up the deficit another three trillion dollars in the next four years. That’s not conservatism, that’s madness.”

They feel safe about lying because most who lived through the Great Depression are no longer alive to testify that history isn repeatig itself.
The only wa out of the 1930′ Depression was a world war. I wonder what obama has up his sleeve and when he plans to spring it.

Those that lived through that period of time in our history will not repeat it. They know. It’s a shame that so many do not know and understand the riches of this country. Instead they whine about not having what the multi billionaire has. Nothing is as wonderful as “opportunity” to make whatever one wants. The perpetual moaning about what another has is disgusting. Here, you want it, you can dream it and build it. It doesn’t come without great sacrifice, but that is the choice. I’m sick of the handouts that so many believe is owed to them.

I agree 100%, McN. At the same time, I wonder wwhy it’s only Romney and his ilk who are maligned out for succeeding and being rich. I’ve never heard any of these crybabies or the libtard bootlickers in the msm go after that billionaire Oprah Winfrey or the millionaires Whoopi Goldberg, . Michael Jordan, etc.

I think that has to do with melanin content in the skin. Hypocrites know no bounds.

Depression indeed. Whether the government or the msm wants to acknowledge it or not. We who live out here in the world of ever rising food, gas and utility prices know. Those of us who have to figure out what to cut back or cut out to continue to pay our heating bills? We KNOW it is a depression.
They can mess around all they want with the inflation equation and take out the things that have the most immediate impact to try and make the numbers look good-but
We KNOW!

Yes, we do know. We feel the pain everyday.
