I dont; think your being extreme in the least. In fact I think your being rather mainstrem as about 50% of the populace thinks the way that you do. I just think that its not effective as the alternative.

As fot the inevitability of recessions, I agree, but I think public opinioin can make them worse. If you tell people we are in a recession, you get scared money, and scared money is hidden and not in the ecomnomy and that pushes the economy down even farther. Its one thing to be in a recession, but its another to be on the edge of one and then make it inevitable through public statements.

And Vampyr, McCain was joking when he said those things about the economy. he has had a long track record of being VERY involved in economic panels in the Senate. The media spun it the way they liked, but his experience with economic issues is vast and detailed.

But if experience and knowledge of the economy is so important to you, as you've stated...

...

Then why are you such an Obama supporter?
