You don't live here I assume?
McCains speech was correct, the fundamentals of our economy are holding strong, that's the people level of the economy. Just because we aren't spending as much, on as much stupid shit that isn't needed, doesn't mean we are broke.
Our unemployment rates have been worse, our job loss rates have been worse, to the value of money today, wars have cost us more. The housing marketing, the stock markets, food, inflation, to terror drills knowing the next nuke was coming. It has been FAR worse than it is today.
It's always the sky is falling, our eco is history, from the dot com, to early term Clinton, bush, rageon, and role on back. Even more so around every presidential election. Wait until the interest rate goes back up to 13% and nobody is buying shit.
It has been far worse.
Just because America and Americans aren't at the peak right now, doesn't mean we are at the very bottom either.
We are far from the bottom. Restaurants have reservation lists, message places are busy, bars are busy, golf courses are full, people are doing shit. They just aren't going the hell off like we could 8 years ago.
