"It's going to be a slow recovery."</i><br /><br />Which I find a bold assertion, because we <b>were</b> under six in the summer of '08. It was the second week of November that year that it shot up overnight, with a 36% increase just in the last two preparatory months of that year. And yet the Yeswecannabis-smoking crowd will still sit here and tell us that a problem they created overnight by blaming the folks who were already doing what they claim is impossible (or at least, can only be done <b>after</b> the end of Barry's second term) cannot be fixed by the actual effort of demi-gods like Nancy Pelosi in forty times the length of time it took <b>just the thought of them</b> to F it all UBAR.<br /><br />Well, I'm going to print out that article now, and save it for after November, so that when we get some rational economic policy that actually creates jobs, I'll have a copy that didn't find its way down the memory tubes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
