He doesn't even know the price of gas per gallon let alone know we are experiencing a slow down in the economy. That's because he has been visiting Africa either looking for terrorists or oil. HA HA. As for Congress, Both the Republicans and Democrats get an F. I blame them all for supporting many of the president's decisions that put us in this mess. He holds the most powerful office in the United States and deserves credit when things are going good as well as when it is crap. The economy is a BUSH-IT economy right now. I agree on the baseball stuff, they can all take steroids and the public doesn't care. These hearings remind me of when the Rebublicans were on a witch hunt to nail Clinton because of the Lewinski scandal. No one gives a crap. The Republican Congress wasted more money then and failed to get him to boot. We all know he cheated. Big deal. We had a budget surplus and the economy was booming. On a more personal note, I don't really care if Congress are all dems or reps. Congress is 50/50 right now. The only thing I want to happen is for the troops to come home. That will solve many problems. This was a major reason why the Republican senators and reps were voted out 2 years ago, because the American people are tired of the BUSH-IT war. Congress failed to get our troops home and Bush was ready to veto any bill asking for troop withdrawals. Always good to hear from you David, Cheers! Hi David,

We don't actually need the government reports after the fact to confirm the effects on our wallets. A slowing economy is definitely what we are in. If you don't want to call it a recession until 2 quarters from now, it's all good. But it is still a recession. Thanks for the comment. Cheers! Hi Alex,

I REMEMBER HEARING THE DEMOCRATS TELL US IN THE LAST ELECTION IF THEY WERE IN CONTROLL OF CONGRESS THEY WOULDNT BE A VIDICTIVE CONGRESS, THAT WE WOULDNT BE GETTING GOUGED AT THE PUMP AND A LONG LIST OF POSITVIES THEY PROMISED. I BELEIVE GAS PRICES ARE HIGHER NOW THEN BEFORE THERE PROMISES AND THEY HAVE SEPNT MORE TIME ON CLEANING UP SPORTS AND WHY A FEW US ATTORNEY'S WERE FIRED WHICH HAS BEEN FOR OVER 200 YEARS THE RIGHT OF ANY PRESIDENT TO DO. NO ONE COMPLAINED WHEN CLINTON DID IT. YOU TALK HUGE WASTE OF RESOURCES WHEN THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES.

Believe it or not there are whole segments of our government dedicated to determining what is and isn't a recession. Most of the time they botch it pretty badly. Recessions are something that is only easily determinable in hindsight. I'm just trying to point out that a slowing of an economy performing above levels it can support...is not necessarily a recession. Give it some time before you run for the hills. :-) I don’t believe the vast majority of the “BUSH-IT” you hear in the news, but your definition of a recession is incorrect.

Slumps in the Dollar also do not denote a recession. The U.S. economy has been over inflated for quite some time, it had to level off eventually...
