With Recession Looming, McCain Offers Happy Talk: ‘Underpinnings Of Economy Are Strong’


Underpinnings?? WTF??


Thinkprogress:


Unwilling to take accountability for the last seven years of mismanagement over the nation’s economy, conservatives are eager to portray the current economic downturn as a momentary hiccup and a temporary drag:
John McCain: “I still believe our fundamental underpinnings of our economy are strong.”
President Bush: “I believe we can find common ground to get something done that’s big enough, effective enough so that an economy that is inherently strong gets a boost.”
Ed Lazear, Chairman of Council of Economic Advisers: “The structure of the American economy is sound.“

Obama has hope. McCain has delusions.

When you don't understand something use a word no one understands. The word underpinnings is used in construction work. As it is the base or foundation of your home. Now to use the word in the economy is some what out of place. As economy involves peoples income and well fair and lives. Now anything can stand but without the support it stands alone.
