I think it is great how everyone has been behind the "pitch" ...and that the economy is fine and everything it looking up!
I think the country has been united for the lets "stay possitive" campaign...it is really all we can do.
I think we all know it is not the truth. The economy is not doing well and it has been this way for three years.
I love the power of possitive thinking and that there are so many people trying to push it to a possitive!
This was not meant to be a political post...but one of the power of the mind!

Nice job NEON! Dwhite, this is correct. EVERYONE knows that the market is a wave. It has highs and lows almost no matter what. Unfortunately, the majority of the studies that say the economy is improving is all FUNNY NUMBERS.

example. "The people fileing for unemployment went down this month indicating a stronger economy.."
Reality is that people are RUNNING OUT OF UNEMPLOYMENT and the government is counting this person as employed or NOT UNemployed. Basically they are being written off as a human being is what's happening.

Examples of a bad economy:

Large corporate mergers, HUGE debts, out of control bankruptcy claims, cut backs, WAR, high depression, overeating, weak dollar.

Examples of a good economy:

See the above and reverse it.

Now here's where the problem lies. The "market" is ALWAYS going up and down. It has it's highs and lows seemingly no matter what which is usually a 7-12year span. Everyone seems to realise this thanks to our friends at FOx news.

THE PROBLEM IS, people are supposed to KEEP ON WORKING through the storm and that's not happening. NO ONE has any motivation cause everyone is SCREWED UP on anti depression meds when THEY SHOULD BE DEPRESSED.

If you get rid of the thing that DRIVES people to get off their asses and find work or start a company or invent something that'll start work, there is no reason for the economy to get better. Everyone seems to be trying to wait it out.

The economy waits for us, not the other way around. Thanks to greedy ignorant government corporations the counrty thinks otherwise.

And here we are. Living in the eye of a twister and pretending everything is getting better.

Didn't HOMER think that all was well when the eye passed over his house?

You have to give everyone some credit. We are all still talking possitive and wanting to believe. They even tried to raise interest rates to show us how we are out of a slump. I think it is a lot better to keep up the possitive act. If everyone started running around talking doom , I think it would get worse. I am just amazed we have all kept up the possitive for this long!

D, who's "POSITIVE?" Everyone is a WALKING DRAMA CASE. There is no positive there is just SUPRESSED NEGATIVE.

SUPRESSED NEGATIVE THINKING does not equal POSITIVE THINKING.

It equals ZOMBIE.

Good point. Repression is good though....

If everyone started talking about it...wouldn't it get worse? I think they need to take the interest rates back down...that was way to premature!

I'm Irish, we don't get to believe in "Repression". Is Karma running over Dogma in this country
