I enjoy reading posts in which forum members have created or based an opinion on subject matters that they know absolutely nothing about. We had a 7-8 year recession with our last Republican president, yet everything that is occuring presently is being blamed on Democratic leadership and legislation. Two good TV stations that i will not even watch anymore would be FOX and CNN. Both stations twist the news in a Republican light, and the average Joe just runs with what he/she witnessed on the TV. The fact that just about every single radio and TV station within this country has a political slant makes it unusable. If you would like to see what is really going on, watch the news that is being broadcasted by countries outside the US. The fact that one person, espcecially an uneducated or uninformed individual thinks that there is anything that they can do to change our current course, or that they could do it better, is so wrong that believing it is absent-minded. The economy started sinking a long time ago, and there is nothing that anyone on this board is capable of doing to change that. Throwing money at an economic depression is not going to fix anything, however neither is crying on a CarAudio forum, myspace, or twitter. The government will continue to spend imaginary dollars, and there is nothing to be done about it. National deficit is nothing new.
