| HappySqurriel said: I don't know what John McCain's explaination for his stance a couple of months ago is, but a recession has a very clear definition and I'm not certain it has been met yet; and John McCain has many (political) reasons why he would want people to remain very optimistic about the ecconomy. Beyond that, pointing out the origins of the problems in the housing and mortgage markets is more about trying to get people to think of this as being a much older and larger problem than most people think it is; it is not a problem that George Bush Created, and both parties were involved in its creation and had opportunities to prevent the fall far before it happened. |
As always I find much to agree with what you've stated. And while this problem is not a problem that George Bush created it is a problem that was exacerbated by his administrations many miscues and missed opportunites. If you want to disagree with that we can agree to disagree. Crying over spilt milk isn't going to help.
What I do take issue with is the seemingly impotent and incoherent policy stance of the McCain campaign on the economy.
