What - You Doubt the Economic Recovery?

Michael Schaus over at Townhall has some thoughts for those of us scratching our heads and wondering where this great economic recovery is hiding:

"If you still have doubts about the vibrancy of this recovery, it could be possible that you are somehow missing out on this Obamanomics success story in your every-day life. And, let’s face it, that’s pretty possible. Real hourly wages have seen virtually no noticeable increase; real median household income is down almost four percent; and basic life necessities have seen an average of 10 percent price inflation. (In fact, milk is 25 percent more expensive, meat prices are 27 percent higher, and gasoline has jumped in price roughly 40 percent since 2009.) [Emphasis added].

Or, maybe, you’re just not feeling the beneficial impact of those “10 million new jobs” because your home value has just barely increased above the rate of overall inflation. Or, maybe you’re one of the 2.9 newly impoverished individuals since the recession officially ended. (Are you one of the 11 million new food-stamp recipients?)"


Why son - you just got the wrong attitude! Yessiree, you gotta B-E-L-I-E-V-E and it will happen! Positive thoughts bring positive results! C'mon down and we'll fix you right up!
