Guest Post at Willtaft.com

As some people know, I have been dealing with a health issue involving a colleague at work and have not had the time I normally would have in the evenings to write blog posts.

Yesterday however, I ended up writing a very lengthy comment in response to Will Taft’s blog post Why Obama Might Be Our Next President over at Healthy Living For People and Planet Earth. The comment was so lengthy that Will, with my permission has posted the comment as a guest post.

I took a rather contrary and bearish position in regards to his main premise that the media is making the economy sound worse off than it is in order to stir up opposition to another Republican president. I took the position that the economy is actually in far worse shape than the mainstream media portrays it. The guest post turned out to be very pessimistic and doesn’t offer anything in the way of ideas for a solution or even a way to mitigate the worst of the problems.

I did, of course, make reference to my pet theory that the GOP wants to throw this election and my reasons for believing that.
