But just remember, the Democrats saved Christmas! the economy! Originally, the Commerce Department was hailing the 3.5% growth, but have downgraded it several times to 2.2%. Business investment is down 5.9% (and not because, as Harry Reid would have us believe, we don’t have a finished health bill.)
Ed Morresey pointed out on Hot Air that Commerce missed their estimations by almost 39%, and wondered if that level of incompetence should be investigated. I would point out that level of incompetence is the norm in Washington, nowadays. (And has been for some time…)
The short of it: still in a recession and the Democrats haven’t done a thing that’s working. We’d be better off if they all went home for a few years and let everything recover without their “expertise.”
