“This is the worst economic recovery America has ever had.”

Seriously, Scott Pelley announces that following the (second) worst economic meltdown America has ever had we are going through the “worst” economic recovery we’ve ever had. I don’t even know what that means, and I’ve studied more economics than Scott Pelley has. What does “worst” mean in this context? The Great Depression was finally ended by sending several hundred thousand men and women to World War II and converting our factories to war production. I would argue that that was the worst economic recovery America has ever had, but that’s a subjective assessment.

It irritates me that the President’s opposition feels the need to resort to chicanery in their ads, and I’m further irritated that people I otherwise respect don’t catch onto it. It’s frustrating.

There are lots of men in the world who have problem purchase cialis from india in erecting and maintaining their male reproductive organ erected. The few they would agree with are the ones sildenafil india wholesale that you actually sequence. Pain during intercourse: Also called dyspareunia, tadalafil 40mg pain during sex is more common after menopause as oestrogen levels fall and vagina feels dry. While a low testosterone level itself is rarely the cause of erectile dysfunction, low testosterone and decreased libido. davidfraymusic.com levitra uk Granted that it’s still 96 days until the election and we haven’t seen it all yet, but so far the President’s ads have featured him and he has signed off on them. The ads against him have, in my opinion, by and large been an insult to human intelligence, and I resent that. One expects the primary campaigns to be aimed at the party base, but one expects at this point to see at least one good reason to believe that Governor Romney won’t continue to do what he has been doing his entire blighted career, one ad (more would be better) aimed at the 60-70 percent of the population who are pretty sure the partisan thing is all bullshit but we’d like to vote for a good President.

Right now, I don’t trust the Democratic Party, I don’t trust the Republican Party, and I don’t trust Mitt Romney. I don’t really trust the President either, but I trust his wife and I’m pretty sure that she can kick his ass. That, and I’m not seeing or hearing anything to change my mind about Romney. If they have anything, they have 96 days to show it. (Giving us a 2002 Winter Olympics without a terrorist attack doesn’t count.)

    You’ve made some good points. An expectation that our economy would quickly turn around to take us back to the ’80s, for example, was utter fantasy, but that seems to be what too many people expect and too many politicians readily promise.

    Generalizations of any kind, including on the basis of geography, can be misleading — based on my experience living a few years during the ’50s in a southern state. There are pockets of the type you describe all over this country — frighteningly so — also scary in the north, east, and west is that the same attitudes are present but are much more covert. Surely, it is alarming that community leaders and law enforcement fail to enforce individual rights — that those who know better and believe differently do not protest, possibly due to fear with being ostracized or worse.
