Comments on: The administration’s mixed message on the recession http://americaswatchtower.com/2009/12/13/the-administrations-mixed-message-on-the-recession/ I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.

Sales are down double digit, EBIDA down (We manufacture food packaging products)
Two head count reductions.

I however refuse to participate in a recession.
I purchased two new cars (Toyota and Nizzan and I owe far less then they are worth)
Increased my income stream by $1,800 a month
Purchased a 2,600 square foot town home in downtown fells point Baltimore (paid well below market value)
In the process of renovation right now.
The added debt is leveraged on the increased income.

Now is actually a great time to buy because so many people believe the negative dribble coming out the “expert economists”

It seems to be business as usual for most Americans.

I’m almost thinking it was just something the Obama camp cooked up to try and make it look like he actually did “fix” something. The mall was already half full at 9am on Sat, and the grocery store has been a near-chaotic mob scene since before Thanksgiving, constantly running out of certain basic things, like boneless chicken. Maybe people are laid off, but by golly, they are spending every last penny of their unemployment checks!

Because their is more truth when opinions are mixed as they are on most everything in the world, suchas climategate which you mentioned. I hate to see those in government march in lock-step, something real scarry about that! Give me open dissention anyday, even if it sows seeds of doubt.

You and I are nothing but unbelievers to them.

“The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory.”
Thomas Jefferson

Nothing a progressive does works, all they have are theories so they tell us “It has worked and you will see in time” even though even a child can tell you the King has no clothes.

Might be a tough sell to those collecting unemployment though.
