Barack Obama says that we have to "jolt" the economy. That certainly
makes sense, if you take the media's account of the economy
seriously-- but should the media be taken seriously?

Amid all the political and media hysteria, national output has
declined by less than one-half of one percent. In fact, it may not
have declined even that much-- or at all-- when the statistics are
revised later, as they very often are.

I am amazed that you stae these numbers as though they were real, even
while admitting they are subject to correction later on.

Rich people live in a very self-delusional world. Get down to Main
Street and look around. Then tell us this country's OK, Professor Graham.

Main Street San Francisco Calipornia is as far from reality as you can
get.
And it certainly isn't any place for any respectable person to be
"lookin' around".

Get out of bed and go to work you lazy S.O.B.
