Election 2008 Update

[wmrs2]

The worst possible way to figure out how to solve the economic problems of this country, or any problems anywhere, is by polling the American people. Naturally the majority of them are going to blame the government or the banks or the man in the moon! None of them will want to admit that the biggest problem is those same people mortgaging themselves to the hilt to buy the latest cell phone, or the fastest computer, or that big screen HDTV for the Superbowl! After all, the banks are willing to bail them out, right?
Well, the fit has hit the shan and the banks aren't bailing them out anymore. Are they going to blame themselves? Not likely! "It's the Republicans, or theDemocrats, or the oil industry, or the stock brokers, or the Japanese, or the terrorists or anybody and everybody else, but not ME!"
When the American people learn some financial responsibility, maybe then they will have some ideas about how to fix the economy. Until then, these polls are a waste of time and effort. But at least the pollsters are collecting a salary!

Well said! You deserve an award for your economic insights. Keep up the good work. You prove that plagiarizing reports does not lead to economic scholarship.

No one person, Dem. or Rep. is at fault in a recession, as you well point out. To those who want to use the state of the economy for political reasons, you get


mkemse, listen up and try to help the problem that the nation faces. It is an American challenge not Dem. or GOP thing. You are being a divider, not a uniter.To help the problem with the economy stop pointing at Bush. He did not teach you financial irresponsibility. By the way, did you ever notice or care to comment on the fact that the Democratic Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush?

I really believe that whoever is elected President, that person will do his best to help the economy. However, as that great philosopher of all toilets once said: Shit Happens!
