Current Economic Situation Reveals the Lies and Rhetoric of the Left.

Tweet

Through pretty much the whole Bush administration, the left tried to tell us that the economy was in terrible condition. Variations of the line "I'm doing ok, but what about all those who aren't" were often used when those of us who knew the economy was doing well would make arguments backing our position. In other words, it didn't matter that people were doing well, as long as the left could point to ANYONE who wasn't, it was evidence of a failing economy. The fact is Prs. Bush, Congress, the Federal Reserve and We the People did a great job of supporting the economy through events that normally would have destroyed it. But that wasn't good enough for the Bash Bush Bus. No matter how well things were going, they had to paint a negative picture, lest we give credit to Prs. Bush for anything whatsoever. So now we are really in a recession, and the economy is in trouble. If we are looking at it rationally we can see the difference between a truly bad economy and the the doom and gloom that the left was selling before. Remember hearing about "The worst economy in 50 years"? But now, when this economy is compared to the past, they only go back to the 70s and early 80s. Some of us who remember that recession cited that time as being much worse, but the lefties refused to hear it. The press told them that we were in the "worst economy in 50 years" so by golly, that's all they needed to hear. So what happened? If we are willing to think critically here, we can see that the lies and rhetoric of the left has been exposed. But most people won't do that, most people will simply listen to what the press tells them to believe... even if it completely contradicts what the press told them to believe just a few years ago.
