But hold on. Whether Bush-Cheney have talked the country into recession or whether it would have headed that way anyway, the economy isn't looking good. From whatever corner you come, you know that consumer confidence is now clearly falling. People aren't spending. The market keeps dropping.
Hope is in retreat.
The governor says it will work because it will create consumer spending. There is some very remote possibility that the governor even believes that. The buying that upturns the economy is of refrigerators, tv sets, clothes, cars, you name it. So the spending we supposedly need is coming from Judy and her non-productive ilk. Taxpayers in the lowest 60 percent of the income scale would get only 12.7 percent of Bush's tax cuts.
