The worst fears of the Democratic Party were realized today; the country is NOT in a recession. According to figures, the economy grew by .6% in the first quarter of 2008. That coupled with the fact that the last quarter of 2007 was also a small growth, about the same, and the quarter before that was an even larger growth, any talk of recession is simply wishful thinking by the Left.
Even though a recession is defined as two successive quarter of decline, the Left had truly hoped for at least one quarter so they could continue to use the R-word. That would have surely led to them pulling out the D-word shortly. Now they will have to try to find other words to tell us just how bad off we are doing.
Isn't it amazing that a party in this country can continue to consider itself a representative of the people, all the while hoping and banking on the destruction and downfall of that country. The Left have so much invested in the failure of the US, yet people still vote for them, believing they are the salvation of our nation.
Sorry, Barack and Hillary, you'll have to hope for some other kind of destruction of America.
