If only Georgie would tell us to go shopping again...

Because we obviously don't elect Republicans to govern and to lead because they truly hate government and governing, but to be father figures and lay comfort on us poor folks:
Concerns about the direction of the country and personal finances rose sharply, and dissatisfaction with Bush, Congress and the administration's economic and foreign policy all climbed.

Bush's approval rating fell 4 percentage points to 23 percent, a record low for pollster John Zogby, and positive marks for the U.S. Congress fell 5 points to tie an all-time low at 11 percent.

The number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track fell from 23 percent to an abysmal 16 percent, another record for pessimism, as uncertainty about the economy and rising gas prices fuelled growing doubts about the future.

"Bad economic news is settling in and Americans are getting anxiety ridden," Zogby said.
See? We need someone to give us sympathy in our hour of need!

Too bad many people can't afford the gas or the store prices anymore. Hard to go shopping in that case.

How are the rich supposed to stay rich if the corporations they own collapse when we stop buying their products?

So... gas too high? Buy on Amazon! Keep pouring your money into the economy! Rich people are depending on you!
