In the second quarter this year, both the French and German economies grew by 0.3 percent, while the U.S. economy shrank by 1 percent. How can that be? Unlike America, France and Germany had no government stimulus worth speaking of, the Germans declining to go the Obama route on the quaint grounds that they couldn’t afford it. <br /><br />They did not invest in the critical signage-in-front-of-holes-in-the-road sector. And yet their recession has gone away. Of the world’s biggest economies, only the U.S., Britain, and Italy are still contracting. All three are big stimulators, though Gordon Brown and Silvio Berlusconi can’t compete with Obama’s $800 billion porkapalooza. The president has borrowed more money to spend to less effect than anybody on the planet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-10323431658012139522009-08-22T19:38:11.085-07:002009-08-22T19:38:11.085-07:00MW's right-wingers are showing their true colo...MW's right-wingers are showing their true colors again as homophobes. <br /><br /><br /><br />Proud of it fudge packer.

It’s the highest jobless rate both statewide and locally since the state began tracking data in 1976. <br /><br />No “green shoots” for Nevada. <br /><br />As economists and policymakers nationwide hover over the tender little economic tendrils that herald recovery from recession, Nevada’s economy looks as barren as the Mojave Desert. <br /><br />As a trickle of data points to the national downturn’s end, Nevada’s economy continues its descent. Joblessness in the Silver State jumped to 12.5 percent in July, while unemployment in hard-hit Las Vegas leapt to 13.1 percent. Both state and local unemployment scored their highest levels in 33 years of tracking, the state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said today. <br /><br />Nevada’s jobless rate was more than double its level in July 2008, when 6.6 percent of the state’s residents were out of work.

Thanks for not condescending to the great unwashed by informing us how we should think on a given subject. <br /><br />Thank-you for not adopting the patronizing, elitist attitudes that have become de rigueur on most other networks. Thank-you for recognizing that Americans have the right to information from both sides of the aisle and are fully capable of making up their own minds on issues, given enough facts. <br /><br />Thanks, Fox, for actually questioning the incessant spin coming from Camp Obama. No one else is. If not for your reporting, most Americans would still be unaware of the depth of 'change' our president is proposing. Even though the old media succeeded in getting Obama elected, thanks to you, Americans are finally being given access to information they should have had before they voted. Better late than never. <br /><br />Thank-you, Fox, for caring more about journalism than about access to self-anointed elites, and cocktail party invites from the inside the beltway crowd. You have succeeded without giving in to the politically correct crowd. That's no mean feat. You have decided to play by the old, traditional rules instead of the oh, so fashionable, new improved ones the progressives have adopted. Very cool, guys. I know how hard it is these days to march to your own drummer instead of aligning yourself with the majority. <br /><br />Thank you, FNC, for daring to veer from the decades old template by airing Glenn Beck during the news hour.
