How can this be? The economic news, according to most libs, is absolutely
atrocious. Millions upon millions are out of work and looking hard for jobs.


Most of those people will keep on looking for those jobs, too, unless
they look for that job where your dollar ended up in that third world
country.


(Many more millions just draw their welfare checks.) The USA is sinking rapidly.
And, its all George's fault.


More likely the culprit is ditech.com and similar businesses. When
the slowdown in mortgage activity shows its effect, the truth of how
bad things *really* are will hit home.

Yet WM is going crazy, as are many other retailers. Right?


Wrong.... re-read the news on WM. Sam's Club saved their bacon.....


Have I just gotten more stupid in my old age?


No, just more cynical... and less willing to see the fallibility of
those you see as leading the charge toward more prosperity.
