I am beginning to think some people don't want the economy to improve,
they
want the recession to continue until there guy gets elected. Talk about
partisan.

What you've hit on is the overarching premise that drives Democratic policy
on virtually every issue of substance -- poverty, race, medicare, education,
etc., etc. They want to own the issue, not resolve it. Keep the poor
****ed at the wealthy, keep minorities convinced they're being screwed, keep
the elderly afraid, keep the kids brain-numbed. All these tracks lead to
greater dependence on government programs.
