The propaganda message. repeated over and over again by the government and its allies in the media, is apparently not resonating. Despite best efforts to convince the American public that the economy is on the mend, public opinion views the economy as getting worse.
The latest from Rasmussen:
A new national telephone survey finds that 87% of Likely U.S. Voters view the economy this way, well above the importance they place on any other issue on a list of 10 regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The new finding is up five points from 82% in late October and has consistently been the issue voters place the highest level of importance on since regular tracking began several years ago.
The economy will improve some day. Like a broken clock, the government will be correct. In my opinion, we are nowhere near this point.
I think there may be some “artificial prosperity” during 2011 as the mad banana printing at the federal reserve finally flushes through. I also believe there will be serious problems with consumer prices. But its important to remember that the reason every politicians likes inflation is that first, it makes things look a bit more rosy than they in fact are ……
Monty,
This statement from you I found very disappointing. “The economy will improve some day. Like a broken clock, the government will be correct. In my opinion, we are nowhere near this point.” I don’t come to your site for optimistic comments, even if the timing of the optimism is somewhere in the afterlife. I come to this site to reinforce my depression and gloom.
I am of course kidding with the above, but I was surprised by the comment. I am getting so I rarely see the sunny possibilities, what with birds dropping out of the sky and fish drowning all over.
