Economic Growth Worst in Five Years

WASHINGTON - Strained by an ailing housing market and credit woes, the economy in 2007 is expected to log its worst growth in five years and should be somewhat sluggish next year.

The No. 1 risk, though, is that the economy will lose its footing altogether and fall into a recession, forecasters say.

Now isn't this an interesting story?

If I remember correctly, George Bush has been the "president" for the last five years so there is little the Republic Party henchmen can do to blame this slow economic growth on Bill Clinton - or can they?

The conflicting economic news coming out of Washington must have the sheep in the Department of Labor putting in for lots of comp time. Just last week we received cheery news about how the economy is steaming along. Today we get this story. The unfortunate thing is, the attention span of the average American is about as long as a 30 second commercial on Monday night football so John Q Redneck can't and won't remember that last week it was rosy and this week it was thorns and next week will be a bed of roses and after that a bale of thorns. I think the Bush Abomination loves this because there isn't enough time from one news cycle to the next to question the bastards. Instead everyone sits around fat and happy and worried most about who will win on "Survivor".

Wake up sheeple.
