It’s Official: Worst. Recovery. EVER.

It’s Official: Worst. Recovery. EVER. So the current political street theatre about “assault weapons” is most likely noise meant to distract attention from the miserable economic mess the political class has created. But perhaps they are also worried that if and when the bitter clingers begin to tire of the non-recovery, some may begin shooting. Maybe the things they should be talking about are policies that actually would increase economic growth rather than QEs and ZIRPs, eh?

  • Just heard that the EU is predicting the so called recovery is coming to a grinding stop. So by instituting bans on everything but paying taxes the Commicrats are hoping to stimulate the economy.

    • Exactly, that's one of Ron Paul's main points to end the corrupt Fed that has destroyed this country's economy via fiat currency.

      Just remember though, the Fed is a PRIVATE bank, so it's Corporate, not government, Greed.

      • What color is the sky in your world? Do you not understand that no one here gives a shit abouty you or Ron Paul or your man crush on creepy wrinkled old guys? You are a moron Creepy Crowley.

  • For one thing, importing solar panels from China makes urban green lefties happy but developing US and Canadian brown energy would mean JOBS and MONEY for US workers as well as lower energy costs for the rest of us. And reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources like the Middle East, which Obama's foreign policy has made increasingly risky. It would be a win-win-win except for the politicians whose contributions and power depend on blocking it.

    • Developing our own energy sources is not in the plan. Those in charge do not want affordable energy from coal, oil, or natural gas. Freezing your ass off in the winter & sweating like a pig in the summer does not matter to them. Why should it? Those imposing what is passing for our energy policy won't be affected, & that's because they are more important then you.
