It seems that everything from war to economic disaster has been sold to the American public by means of FEAR for the last few years. Maybe we should stop and take a deep breath before we jump anymore. I am not making a statement about politics, necessarily, however; I am saying that from this point on, maybe, we as a people shouldn’t simply trust anything and everything that a public figure tells us. Maybe we should take a moment to think and breathe and then act. Maybe we should think LONG TERM and maybe we should remember that just because it is in the news or on TV does not make it the full-truth. We forget that it’s blood in the streets that sells newspapers.
I am not a sarcastic person, but I like Greenwald’s commentary…
“YOU MAY HAVE noticed an abrupt change over the last week in the rhetoric from Washington. Before, the fundamentals were sound, the housing correction was to be expected, and the economy on its way to quick recovery with just a little bit of official encouragement. Now, not so much.”
