Oil prices spike as Hurricane Gustav nears Gulf Every time a hurricane approaches the Gulf, we see oil prices spike. If we open up more off shore drilling, these spikes will send a tidal wave through our economy. With hurricanes become more frequent and stronger, can our economy handle oil prices that will be just […]
Thanks to all this free trade: China is set to overtake the US next year as the world’s largest producer of manufactured goods, four years earlier than expected, as a result of the rapidly weakening US economy. But that’s nothing for us to worry about, just ask the Chimp in Chief.
And it isn’t siting well with some in the GOP: “I think John is treading on some very thin ground here when he impugns motives and when we start to get into ‘You’re less patriotic than me. I’m more patriotic,’ ” Hagel said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “I admire and respect John McCain very […]

Yup Americans are still losing their houses, no matter how hard the idiots on Wall Street try to tell you that the economy isn’t that bad.
That’s how our great leader described the future of the economy today: President Bush said Friday the slow growth of the economy is “not good enough for America,” but new rebate checks will inject some life soon. “This economy is going to come on,” Bush said. “I’m confident it will.” Yeah those checks are going […]
