Rejecting the Recession

At the beginning of July I stood here and told you that we were launching a month long campaign to Reject the Recession. In the last 30 days we have witnessed remarkable results. Throughout our newscasts we have offered information to help you survive, cope and even succeed during this down economic period. We’ve given away some fantastic prizes and we have been blessed to partner with  great business owners here in Region 8 that dug deep and offered real incentives to help you along the way. Now it wasn’t all rosy. We’ve recently had to deliver bad economic news for folks here in Region 8. I’m sure that the folks at Wolverine and others  without work are finding it extremely difficult to Reject the Recession. Mississippi county has been hit hard.  June unemployment numbers have just been released and we continue to see unemployment rise. Don’t think for a minute that we don’t understand that. But folks, we also have reasons to be optimistic. In the last month we have been able to share good news with you as well.  The Dow Jones broke 9000 and is slowly inching its way upward. Nordex has begun work on their new plant which will bring up to 700 new jobs to the area. Home sales in Region 8 are outpacing other areas as people here realize that we have a good buyers market and financing is still available. And thanks to the cash for clunkers program, you now have a good incentive to buy a new car. Again if you can make the investment, now is a good time to do so. We will continue to bring you Reject the Recession stories as long as there is a need. And I hope we have brought a level of optimism to your personal situation. I honestly believe that things are improving each and every day.  And folks, that makes this a Better Region 8.

This is in regard to your Obamanistic view of the recession and recovery. Let me be the first to tell a little secret. The worst is yet to come. The recent upswing in the Dow is only temporary. It will approach 3,000 within the next 2 years. Please read Glen Becks' book "Common Sense" to get real facts about the economy and the founding fathers opinions about the role of the federal goverment.
