The Economy

The fundamentals of the economy are very good. So said President Obama recently. Now I know that statement sounds familiar. Oh yeah, that is the same statement that Presidential candidate John McCain made during the campaign. Of course, being a Republican, he was maligned and ridiculed for such an outlandish statement. But since it came from Democratic President Obama, nobody blinked and commented that his assumptions are correct. Now we have yet to hear from the real President, Nancy Pelosi on what the economy is doing. But then again, with all the scare tactics that the Democrats employed to get their money packages passed, they can make such statements. They may even want to spend more money to further their own political aims. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all could just write out checks on our wants and not worry where the money is coming from to pay for it? Too bad we do not have taxpayers to pay for our needs.
