I think the whole town knows where you shop.

Truepatriot, don't attack here, just defend your position.  You think the economy is getting better.  I don't.  You don't want to do the doom and gloom senerio, fine, but you do have to look at reality.  We are not coming out of our economic woes.  Just like the alchoholic who has to admit he has a problem before he can get help, so do we.  We have to admit there is something wrong so we can fix it.  I don't want to be a gloom and doomer either, but covering our eyes and burying our head in the sand is not going to make it better.  We need to see where we are so we can move forward.  And we need to be honest with ourselves to we can fix the problem.  How do we fix it?  I don't have all the answers I am not that smart.  But telling everyone that things are getting better when they are not is counter productive.  You are either a part of the problem or part of the solution.  Let's look at this honestly and see if we can fix it through our votes this next election.

Mr. Opinionated - I think I have been very respectful here. I've called no names as you see the people doing in which I respond. Maybe your scoldings can be more appropriately directed?

As for what I've posted here.... It's just a report of the facts. Business sales have increased for the 3rd straight month. Companies are starting to buy more. These are facts you can not change. You can, and do, spin the news to fit a doom & gloom agenda by stating it's still less than before. This is not the point. The point was simply things are improving. Now with luck, because I truly believe that's what it takes, we in the future will pass sales prior to Bush and Obama running things in the ground. This is my hope. I'd rather focus in that direction than to simply and continually say things suck.

As for fixing the economy? If you believe the economy runs on a cycle than there is no fixing it. We simply wait. If you believe things need to be done to lesson the blow of a bad economy than it becomes you that needs to list the steps that have not been done.
