Dear Editor,
Strong fundamentals in tough times? On Sept. 6, John McCain said there were “tough times all over America.” In recent days he has repeatedly said: “the fundamentals of the economy are strong.”
Aren’t massive job losses, soaring deficits, devaluation of the dollar, rising unemployment, bank failures and the mortgage meltdown basic ‘fundamentals’ of the economy? Here’s a question I would ask him, which is a question the news media should be asking him: “Which is it, John?
How do you have a fundamentally strong economy when the aforementioned economic indicators have all headed south?”
