They're hoping people will start believing it and start spending money, that's the only way it will end.

In other words, the recession isn't over at all and Bernanke is lying. Right?

If that was kinda how it works, prices should have shot up like a rocket during the Reagan/Bush-41 years. Didn't happen. Got an explanation for that?

Because that's the one most middle class people pay.

I have no sympathy for the super rich.

Not good news for the Republicans!
Answer this question...maybe the number of people getting unemployed was lower but the percentage of people raised to above 10.2%...and Obama and Biden clearly stated that if the stimilus was voted for, it wouldn't go over 9%!


Please explain why it is hurting the Rep. and not the Dem. who are the majority and just lost Virginia and New Jersey!

You can be naive and maybe you wake up next yr when Obama is a lame duck, as he basically is right now!

Where are the jobs he promissed...Obama is so stupid...he gives speech after speech and it is so easy to put all his speeches after each other and the facts behind it..proving he is nothing than false hope and no change and hot air!

that's because from what you have said from time to time you are a student and don't make much money. No, for those of us in the loser income brackets, right now, our income tax rates have not gone up. Do you have any clue all the other things we pay taxes on?
