If the Economy is Getting Better Then Why Are We Still in a Recession?

All the rosy predictions and phony claims of the Obama Spinmeisters just don't add up!

Before Obama's State of the Union Address campaign speech last week I recommended readers print out the graph "Obama Presidency by the Numbers" and put it next to your television set. Later I posted a similar chart along with one showing the growing dependence of Americans on welfare. Print any or all of these out and annoy your liberal friends. They'll start spinning so fast to try and explain away the numbers they will get dizzy and fall down. It's fun to watch!

Well, here's another in that series which while not a graphic, contains the links to each section so liberals in economic denial can look up the information themselves. But don't expect them to do so. They have become conditioned to expect other people (the government) to do things for them so you may have to click the links if they balk at the info.

From the Economic Collapse:

There are some "bright spots" in the economy, and you are bound to run into family and friends that will repeat to you the nonsense that they are hearing on the television about how the economy is recovering. When they try to convince you that the economy is getting better, ask them these questions....

And if your liberal friends start spinning to the point of dizziness do them a favor and help them to a chair. Or not!
