Change for Its Own Sake Could Be Very Bad

"down" is a change from "up"

"loss" is a change from "profit"

"jobless" is a change from "employed"

As a business owner, I see nothing but negatives for the guys who make this country great - small business owners.

Yes, things have not been perfect, but with all candor, we are due for a dip in the economy. How deep of a dip we will have goes directly to how much governmet tries to "redistribute" us out of this.

The best-case scenario for right now, I think, is unleashing our best minds and producers to solve our domestic energy deficit. LOTS of other things fall into place once we do that.

I couldn't have said it better myself. The democrats who are decrying the state of the economy don't mention that a big part of the reason for the current situation is the price of oil, which could be alleviated somewhat by off-shore drilling. As you say, they propose a redistribution of income, which would only make things worse. But they never learn, because they are never wrong.
