Reply #75: Sen. Hagel was on Insanity yesterday and let some lies slide.

[Roland99]

Hannity was spewing that unemployment was at near-record lows, that the average household income was about $44,000 (or so), and the 3.8% economic growth even in the face of Katrina were all signs that the economy is just robust and healthy as all get-out!

Hagel just let it slide. Couldn't believe it.

Unemployment is based on a survey. If someone's employed part-time, they're not unemployed. The household income has been flat for a few years now and some reports indicate real wages are dropping. And, the 3.8% GDP growth would be how much w/o the government's deficit spending?

The collapse is coming and no amount of spin can save it.
