Saturday's Wall Street Journal had the following article headline:
"Economy Picks Up Steam, Output Returns to '07 Level"
Sara Murray wrote that the economy has returned to the pre-recession levels of 2007 because "of strong consumer support and exports." Our gross national product grew by 3.2%.
Now my turn:
I guess the president's economic plans are working. Give it some more time.
Enough said.

Sierra Club and Missouri Coaltion for the Envirionment: Red diaper doper babies with big bucks from charitable trusts who don't care if the people can't afford to light or heat their homes. Next will be MSD and a big sewer hike!
My answer:
Woody,
Presently, our main trading partner is China--a communist government. I guess since you are anti-communist by your tirade against reds, you never purchase any items from China because if you do, you are supporting a communist regime with your money and money support is always a sign of alliance.

Obama promised higher electric rates, and his appointees at the EPA appear to be working very hard to deliver on that promise.
My response:
7d7,
Where do Americans find these things--or should I say lies?

Why Do Gas Prices Increase--Check Out The Republicans in Charge
As I was paying for my gas yesterday in a medium small town in central Missouri, the cashier said, “It’s unfortunate, but gas prices are going to go way up again.”
“Oh,” I answered.
“Obama. He’s the reason.”
This, of course, took me by surprise because it’s one of the most stupid comments I have heard about our president lately. (And I’ve heard a few.)
And now I’m going to even go a step further--it’s not the Democratic Party that lets gasoline prices get out of hand, but the Republicans.
How can I say this?
Let’s study the last twelve years. In Clinton’s last year with his surplus budget, gas prices were holding steady. Then Bush became president, Republicans controlled everything and gas prices began to soar and soar until 2006 when Democrats retook both the House and the Senate and prices made a dramatic decline.
Under Obama’ first two years, gas prices at the pump held fairly steady--but now Republicans control the House and guess what? Gas prices are on the increase.
There is a direct correlation: put the party that cares only for the rich and no one else in charge and they make sure gasoline prices rise to help the rich become richer. (Always remember it was the Republicans who forced the rich to get bigger tax cuts than anyone else--and, believe it or not--the working poor to get a tax increase.)
So, I told the gas station cashier she was wrong--Obama has done a lot of good for our nation--the Republicans have been, as of the last few years the dangerous party, and from the look on her face I do believe she had an “aha!” moment.
