Dr. Graham, an Economist, is right, the whiners wrong. The recession is only in some people's whiny little heads, not in reality. We have not had two successive quarters of economic decline; simply two quarters of whiners in the news media and the resonating chants of woe from their chorus among the Losers of America. In the real Ameica, misery and a recession from life are all in the mind of the enfeebled.
My life is not perfect; I live in Pittsburgh, needless to say. Here, I am surrounded by our own whiny politicians, union members, over educated liberal academics and college students. We even had a demonstration featuring at least three medical students from the Pitt School of Medicine carrying signs saying, in effect, health care over profits. They are medical students in school on someone else's dime, so they can be self-deluded. Wait till they have to pay the loans back under Obam's restrictive national healthcare system; then they'll whine, demanding the government, the very source of their problems, to bail them out. We are suffering from an epidemic of complaints and a suspension of personal effort, backed up by what the deluded read or hear in the news.
Unemployment is at 5.5%, a state of Nirvana in the later Clinton years, brought about by a Republican Congress after the Democrats lost both houses because of the massive tax increases during Bubba's first two years, Then, life was bliss, the President a compassionate visionary overseeing a new, inspired golden age in its ascendancy; while the Republicans cut taxes, spending and Welfare without notice or praise. Conservative Economics, like the truth, are so boring to those too lazy to dream for themselves. At the same time, these economic principles bring to others dreams that they try, no mater how slowly, to bring into reality; while they tell the govenment to go to hell. The fallacy to the first group's top down Socailism is their failure to realize the people in government are exactly like them, with cushy jobs on the taxpayers' dole, who have every icentive to do nothing. The bureaucrats only motivate themselves enough to whine and hope for a change. They want even more power and money under the new visionary, Osama Obama.
This is the chorus of malcontents all the news stories are geared toward. It's simply to keep them complaining and making the rest of us uncomfotible because of their insistent idiocy. Congratualtions to Dr. Phil Graham for analyzing them and showing them to be a nation of whiners. They are, after all is said and done, a vocal minority fouling their immediate surroundings within a much larger nation of hard working Ameircans. They are also an endless trove for satire and debunking. They sure keep me busy, aggravating them to the point of derision and hearing them complain. That is why I'm marked in Pittsburgh (Pgh for short) as a Conservative and a Republican. As a Republican, I would like to recommend Dr. Phil (Graham, that is) to be put on the short list for VP. The two candidates are too ignorant of Economics, too busy whinig to mind the store and neither will last long in office. We don't need whiners, we need a sound backup to these two economic dolts.
