[quote Grateful11]I suppose mass lay-offs, plant closings, sky high commodity prices, hours being cut, record foreclosures, virtually every retail price is up for essential goods, etc. are just to get a Dem elected?
That's an odd interpretation of what I said. Of course, there is usually a real issue behind the b.s. But is it possible that some people might exaggerate the trouble we're in to help their favored politicians get elected? Is it possible they might imply making a change in leadership will have more impact on the economy than it actually does? I'm just saying that politicians use issues to get elected. I know that's a controversial claim... kj.
