You Break the Economy

You, the American consumer, are reloading savings after a debt-fueled decade.
But as any general will tell you, when an entire squad reloads at once, it leaves everybody vulnerable.
It's the same with the economy.

Here's the scenario:
Consumer sentiment continues to fall slowly, and spending turns negative again.
Small businesses hold off to replenish their inventories or add new workers.
Wages and hours freeze, and unemployment takes a leap toward 10 percent in October.

Congress is paralyzed, because it's only weeks away from the mid-terms. The stock market
sees business revenue trending flat, joblessness rising and Congress doing nothing, and it sparks
a 300-point sell-off.
Americans frightful for their savings cut back spending even more the next month,
and overall growth turns negative.

i was worried about the economy until i hear barak obama's speech the other night. he told us he fixed it and as long as we vote for democrats in november we'll be ok.

I'm so glad we finally have a prez we can trust to tell us the truth.
