Economic Doom and Gloom is Media Driven

With the doom and gloom that seems to prevail on all of our main stream media outlets concerning our economy, this report by the Heritage Foundation finds the facts tell a different story about our supposed crisis situations. Certainly things could be better but, as we all know, they could be a lot worse.

Hey, look around - who do you know that is in crisis situation? I don't know anyone! Don't we all have to make changes in allocations of resources when outside forces take a turn for the worse? Come on, get a grip - get on with it - live with reality. You live in the greatest country in the world. How bad can that be?

Of course, it doesn't take a national publication to tell us things aren't as bad as the liberal media wants us to believe. As you might have surmised, it's a political ploy in this election season to make things look as bad as possible before the election and then, if the forecasters of doom win, come January 1st, suddenly the economy will take on a completely different color in the press. If they lose, well, things will continue to be bad. sigh

But when the liberal groomers win, the economy and all world things the media reported as disasters, will be reported as they really are for the most part. Oh well wait, look, of course, for the media to slip in a little news management on the plus side of things now to help out their agenda. - something like "the economy is in a slump but more people are doing better than 'expected' and it's time to drill for more oil right now which will bring down the gas price experts say. At the same time, we will continue to look for new sources of renewable energy". The dark clouds of economic gloom will suddenly disappear.

WOW - hmmm - See, with the liberal hand on the wheel of state, all things will be better.

Keep the faith, we will fight the battle with renewed vigor.


Entrepreneurship.

Despite claims of economic gloom and doom in the media and on the campaign trail, Americans are better off today than a generation ago.

Heritage economist James Sherk argues that, on balance, “the quality of jobs available to Americans has increased over the past generation.”

For example, he notes “the increased need for highly skilled and educated workers,” which “means expanded opportunities for upward mobility” as incomes rise.
