Housing prices continue to drop. Unemployment rate drops from the 9 percent that was never supposed to happen to the 8 percent we were told is where we'd be if we did not "stimulate" banke... I mean the economy goes down as more potential workers lose benefits and drop out of looking for work. Consumer sentiment continues to decline.

And each of these ghastly reports in the lamestream media were preceded by the word (or some proximity to the word) "unexpected".

Why? Because the media has no interest in knowing what the true facts of the economy are. They have hitched their wagon to President Obama and don't much care to question the path that he and his Democrat colleagues have set this nation on.
