Gee in the last week everybody and his brother has made a major speech on the economy.  Finally, they are noticing.  But one is a pep rally, with few specifics and the few that are given are so vague that they can be adjusted to anything and still be within the lame promises.  then there is another candidate that has the position of just wait and see what will happen.  Now there is a plan that we all can get behind.  And the last one was a pretty good speech that outlined several ways to try a repair a failing economy and it was about the first time that the word “recession” has been used in a major speech by a major candidate.  That part was refreshing.

Everyone still embraces the corporate line, where if business is doing good then the people will do good.  I am not going to say that.  If the consumer cannot buy then the economy will stay weak.  If they are only concerned with the investors and speculators then the economy will be good.  At least through their eyes, but the American taxpayer will remain in the crapper.

I want to hear specifics on how these candidates are going to put more money in the hands of consumers.  Until that happens nothing they do, promise or think will help this sagging economy.
