Great News!! Bernanke thinks recession may end in 2009

[Yeledaf]

Bernanke? Bwaha. He never knew anything was wrong until he read it in the papers.

His predictions and four dollars will buy you a caramel latte at Starbucks.

Watch out, you might get what you wish for.

I totally and completely disagree...

THose 'sour grapes' have reached critical mass - they have become illogical and blind opposition to all progress from the other party - motivated by nothing more than hatred for the other side - they threaten to paralyze the economic recovery.

This administration is doing everything it can to fix the mess that was left behind by Bush and his cronies - I give Obama high grades for trying. If you call that blind optimism - then I'm ecstatic to be an optimist.

And a war between rich and poor will NEVER HAPPEN - stop exagerating - it just sounds silly - and sounds an awful lot like Limbaugh and Hannity talking points... Will there be a rebalancing of the tax burden from middle to upper class - definitely - and I support that 100% - to reverse the transfer of wealth from middle to upper under Reagan/Bush/Dubya...

Great news!!!

Did anyone see Ben Bernanke on 60 Minutes tonight???

He thinks there is a good chance that the recession will end this year...

You really don't pay attention, do you?

I said this not too long ago, based on the report by the CBO - the information is right there - but as I said at the time, some are not up to the task of finding it.

The recession ending has nothing whatsoever to do with anything obama has done - that prediction was out long before he took office - he will only make it worse/prolong it with his radical agenda.

If i thought for one minute that the re-Carter-ization of America would actually work, then i would get behind it 100%. The liberals only know one process, and that is to punish the entreprenuer, small business, and uber wealthy.
The dumb thing about punishing the wealthy is that they take their marbles and play somewhere else, or just quit producing. Which translates into less jobs.
Guvment can't be the majority employer, it doesn't make for a fiscally sound economy.
So logic says the faster this Administration fails, the sooner we can get back to job creation, through small business prosperity.

This administration is doing everything it can to fix the mess that was left behind by Bush and his cronies - I give Obama high grades for trying. If you call that blind optimism - then I'm ecstatic to be an optimist.

This administration is doing nothing in the way of fixing, all of Obama's policies will bring this country into a Mega Depression, and he won't have anyone to blame but himself.

Your right, it will be reversed, and when you destroy the middle class, by punishing the rich, you'll see some stuff happen.

One word we should never use is never. Can you see it?

I'd like to see that poll. Link please.
