Whatever Happened to “Talking Down the Economy”?
Remember that charge leveled by the Gore campaign in 2000? Anytime (then Governor) Bush mentioned that the economy was slowing and something needed to be done, the Gore campaign and the msm would caterwaul about how Bush was “Talking DOWN the Economy.”
Now, years later, talking down the economy is apparently no longer a concern.
See these two stories
The first is about how the GDP growth in the third quarter marked the fastest pace of growth since the third quarter of 2003.
While the second tells us that this can’t last and will, apparently all end in tears.
So, are Republicans vested with some sort of economy slowing super power, or what?
With the market up more than a whole percentage point today (and my own investments up nearly 15% for this year), MSNBC is having a discussion entitled “Is this a recession?”
