I know nothing about economics, but they say "confidence" is all important

I notice that the media has continued to work with the GOP loudmouths, to erode the public confidence.
Now that the 'package' is passed, will they continue to give these Rs so much time, those who are in the "want him (America) to fail" camp?

1. The GOP is the Party of Confidence

"Trust us", is their motto.

They are manly men..

Men who inspire confidence...

Confidence men...

Con men...

[ixion]

well, yes and no...

confidence is good, unless you reach the point where it's delusional, as is the case now.

Now, the problem is about something real: the bottom line.

And the bottom line is this: we're broke.

3. The bottom line is that someone took all our money and we're afraid to go get it back

2. Tank the economy even further, blame it on Dems, take back the reigns

Anyone who doesn't think that's what they're up to hasn't been watching them for long.

4. I personally take the Standard and Poors 500 Index to be a good measure of confidence

It is broad and its gives a number that can be tracked day to day.
