It's Still The Economy, Stupid (#5)

MSNBC posted an article about Wal Mart'S reduced sales figureS in the holiday quarter of last year. Naturally, they gloat with Marxist enthusiasm over this chink in the armor of an evil capitalist institution like mass merchandiser Wal Mart.

MSNBC explains it away as the result of increased competition from other discount merchandisers, who they say are getting better at luring in more discount shoppers. Savvy journalists that they pride themselves to be, MSNBC ended up missing the broader implication of what they said.

Wal Marts sales losses are evidence that the economy still sucks, and it isn't getting any better, contrary to what Mao-Bama pundits are saying. The fact that retailers are competing even harder for discount shoppers only goes to prove my point.

So, how's the whole "hope-y change-y" thing going for you? So far the only change I see is change I can put in a jar. Demonrats are going to saddle the public with a deficit busting new bureaucracy, their "stimulated packages" are not working, and the American people are worse off.

IT'S STILL THE ECONOMY, STUPID.

It's Still The Economy, Stupid. #4

I just love making fun of James Carville's famous tag line he used against Bush Sr. during the Clinton campaign. Here's why: with all the bally hoo about Mao-Bama's promise of “change,” it seems than nowadays the only thing changing is that the soup lines at shelters around the country are getting longer.

While Mao-Bama and his gang of Demon-rats are shuckin' and jivin' to pass a cost bloated bureaucracy onto the American voters and increase the deficit, very little is being done at all about economic recovery for the little guy. Banks are getting bail outs and profits are pouring into Wall Street, but John Q. Public is out living ON the street.

News about the increase in homelessness is all the rage these days. Instead of taking responsibility for it and dealing with the problem, Demonrats are content to sit back and say the Republicans are blocking their legislation, it's all their fault. Hogwash.
