The news of the day is the economy. The big news of the day is the economy. The biggest news of the past three days has been the wrangling over the economy. President Bush wants to bail out the rich and save them from financial disaster. Democratic members of the Congress say eat the rich. Ben Bernanke, the Fed Chairman, is saying bailout or recession.

On other matters of the economy it seems that George W. Bush and John McCain are the only two people left in the country who believe the economy is sound.

Really, whether it’s bailout, inflation and recession, unemployment, or other economic indicators, no matter how you measure it, things are a little sour right now. That doesn’t look well for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. But all the media can do is to point out that both sides disagree on a solution to the economic woes. Media companies just pander to one side or the other while arguing that the side they disagree with are being stubborn and instead of anyone offering a viable solution everyone wants to point out that the opposition is being stubborn and obstinate. Truth is, they’re all being stubborn and obstinate.

But, there’s no doubt that the economy is in the state that it’s in today because of the policies of the past eight years. Why should anyone trust John McCain and his PR team at Fox News?
